Today is DAY 17 of the #giveloveaway challenge! We have 12 more days to go! Today is special because we are challenging our followers to forgive someone that has wronged them in the past. This may be the most important challenge yet simply because we cannot move forward in life until we let go of hurt. FOGIVE!

This past week,
We’ve had many organizations and people donate tons of water to our second trip going to Flint, Michigan (from Bank of America to Plato’s Closet).
We are pulling out tomorrow morning, and will arrive tomorrow around midnight in Flint. Once we arrive, we’ll get rest and head out to serve an apartment complex along side Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church the very next morning. We are going there again because we’ve heard that many people have gotten very small amounts of water since the crisis surfaced.
Below are a few volunteers loading the truck that will depart tomorrow.

This week, we made a special connection with a local pastor in Flint (Shiloh Baptist Church), and have vowed to work with him in serving the elderly that have yet to be served by major agencies.
In act, he stated that “The need was great still.”
We’ve partnered with the CoalitionDJs and a couple churches to raise water to transport this Wednesday. In fact, we can’t wait to take love to Flint! We are still collecting until Wednesday if you’d like to give water.

This morning, we are extremely grateful. We had an another opportunity to be included in an article produced by Devika Rao in the AJC. It is our desire to continue serving more communities, under resourced families, and homeless men, women, and children in 2016.

Hey, I’m posting this because I need your help. God laid it on my heart (as the leader of Love Beyond Walls) to try to purchase a home to employ and house those we serve battling with homelessness. Would you donate $1 to our campaign and get 5-10 more people to donate $1? We need 22K people to give one dollar so we can purchase our first home to house the homeless.
