Here’s a recap from our recent “Gather Atlanta” in the heart of the city!
We are leading “A Movement of Doers” from all walks to love those who are vulnerable and living on the margins of society.
One of the great things about our “Gather Atlanta” serve days is that people come from everywhere under the umbrella of love to build relationships with those experiencing homelessness and poverty and to take #lovebeyondwalls

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.”

We asked, and you showed up!
We had an overwhelming show of generosity in response to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Houston. Thanks to your donations these past few weeks, we’ve been able to resource two truckloads of basic necessities to Texas.
Special shout out to Mike Fye for driving down to deliver the much-needed supplies — thanks, Mike!
Screening at Genesis Church
This past weekend, we were invited to screen “Voiceless” in our third state — Florida!
The screening was packed out with hundreds of people in attendance. We were blown away by the response!
A big thanks to Genesis Church i
n Orlando for hosting us as we continue to bring attention to systemic poverty.

Earlier this year, we started using creative housing to get people experiencing homelessness off the streets.
We’ve learned a lot about how hard it is to find a place to stay if you miss the cut-off time for a shelter. Therefore, we started telling this story about excess. In this country, we have so much excess, but we have yet to tap into this excess to solve “real time” problems.
A few months back, a generous family reached out to us and donated this brand new RV (equipped with a shower, a restroom, and living space).
They took their excess and said, “We want to see it help people…”
Therefore, we’ve decided to launch Atlanta’s first Mobile Shelter. It’s called Mobile Stay, and we are less than a month away from giving stays to those who have no safety net.
