Over the last few months, we have served tons of families but have noticed something unique. Many families or individuals that we have helped have asked for hygiene products. Why? Because as one lady said, “These are hard to come by when you are unemployed…”
Therefore, we have vowed to launch another campaign to collect more “LOVE KITS” in the month of October to help more people that we encounter. If you’d like to support this campaign please see the flyer below for more details.

Today marks ten days away from us showing just a small small part of our story at Ga Tech (LeCraw Auditorium). Additionally, we will talk a little about where we wish to go as an organization in 2015! If you’d like to purchase tickets, click the image below…

This past weekend was awesome! Normally, we would have gone out to serve, but instead we got a chance to go out and support some of the people that are supporting us!
Friday, we attended the Carnival Voya put on to raise resources for the three organizations they have chosen to sponsor this year.
Saturday, we supported Pleasant Words, LLC for the annual women’s conference. It was an amazing time because during their lunch they honored LBW with support and encouragement.
Sunday, we were at Vinings Church in Smyrna, GA for their grand opening. They partnered with us to raise carrying bags for our #carryATL campaign. Additionally, next week (October 4th) they will go out with us to serve those who are in need.
Lastly, next month we will release our next big project. It will be one of the most daring things we will attempt to continue serving undeserved communities.

This coming Friday, #lovebeyondwalls will be one of the three charities adopted by Voya Investments. The other two wonderful charities are (The Ronald McDonald House & The Wounded Warrior Project). Not only is this a huge blessing, this partnership will help us continue to do the work in under-resourced communities in the Atlanta area.

We got a chance to interview Brittany today! We helped he a month ago, and now she is no longer homeless — thanks to one of our volunteers Ms. Gloria!
She took her in, cared for her, prayed for her, and keep bringing her around… Now, we need help clothing her kids for the winter, and getting her some furniture for her new place! Can you help us #lovebeyondwalls?
Below are her before and after stories… Watch them, and let us know if you can help!
LBW Team
This past weekend, #lovebeyondwalls trained 20+ leaders from various organizations, churches, and businesses! Each of these leaders sat in our idea room, and learned creative ways to engage the community, build a team, and leverage technology to mobilize people to serve others! Below is a picture of some of the attendees! It was truly an amazing time. Not only will we have this again before the year ends, we will launch a #leadersource podcast to train other leaders who would love to learn from our experiences and research.

Earlier this week, I (Terence) met a pastor through a friend in Madison, GA and shared our story. We walked outside to this thirty passenger bus, and he said, “this should help you guys out a lot…” In fact, he said they think it would help in serving those in need up in ATL… I don’t know how this all happened (other than God), but this church is donating this bus to @lovebeyondwalls! Can’t wait to share what we are going to do with it next month!!!

This coming Saturday (20th), a small group of fifteen leaders will visit our headquarters (in College Park), sit around tables in our idea room, and learn leadership, technology/communication, storytelling, and outreach lessons we’ve learned over the last 8 and a half months we’ve been around.
We are calling it leadersource 1.0 because we believe leaders should have small gatherings that teaches, trains, and resources them with vital information to do effective work in the 21st Century. Our passion is to create idea-based environments where leaders can study and have hands-on training… This type of environment is the best way for leaders to learn, and discover ideas that will help them in what God has called them to.
If we are honest, many leaders wrestle with (in the 21st Century):
So…….Whether it be non-profit work, church work, or a start-up small business there are unique things can be gathered from open dialogue.

So awesome that we got a chance to support Smart Kids Childcare Center in Lithia Springs with diapers and supplies! So awesome to serve!
LBW Team
Next week, we will take a lot of principles we have learned (through experience) and pass them along to other leaders (about 5-7). We want to teach leaders some of lessons we’ve learned about social media, storytelling, and launching campaigns.
How will this help? I’m glad you asked. It will help other leaders start the process of thinking through ways to make an impact in the areas they feel called to. Everyone needs a little guidance and help!
Also, I’m excited about giving the talk! If you’d like to attend, click the image below. I think we only have 3 more seats available.
