We are extremely grateful.

We are blown away by the provision we’ve experienced. Many people say it’s the small things, but we believe that literally.
Today, our shipping container was delivered to our Center.
The countdown begins of letting people know what this will become.

I’ve been up since 3AM reading words that chronicle the last few months of Martin Luther King’s Jr. life —
Before he was assassinated, he started to campaign about people in this country that were experiencing extreme poverty.
His agenda was to ensure that those on the margins of society were not forgotten.
King believed poverty was a Civil Rights issue, and so do I.
Every single day, I feel that same burning passion to ensure that this nation remembers the voiceless and invisible of our society.
In 10 Days, I’ll set out on another journey.
I’m literally walking from The Center For Civil & Human Rights to the Lorraine Motel (386 miles) to honor the 50th year of King’s passing, and to bring attention to an issue that he stood against—poverty.
I’m grateful for the historical partners we’ve had to endorse the #MAP18 campaign!
In the words of King,
“If you want to be important—wonderful. If you want to be recognized—wonderful. If you want to be great—wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That’s a new definition of greatness.”

This week, Love Beyond Walls got an amazing opportunity to support many students experiencing homelessness at Frank McClarin High School. We recently learned that many students in this school are fighting homelessness as they try to gain an education to better their lives.
The school is located less than a mile away from our Center in College Park.
With the support of many generous donors, we were able to provide resources to single teen mothers and the daycare housed at the school.
As days go on, we will continue working with this school and among its students. Why? Because we see education being a tool that can be used to overcome the plight of poverty.
Thank you for you continued support of our work!

This past Sunday, we were invited to share our #MAP16 story in Shreveport, LA [Shreveport Convention Center] to over 5K people!
Not only did we get a chance to share some of our clips, but we challenged people to consider the poor, understand the realities of the poor, and create margin in their personal lives to notice people.
We are excited about starting our editing process this week as we prepare to share our March Against Poverty story with the world.
During this season, take time to notice those who are poor, and consider what really matters.

“Love is a powerful force,” Terence explains. “God is love, and we are on a mission to take that love into places where there is darkness and hopelessness, despondency and all those different things keeping people in the cycle of being oppressed.”
