Love Beyond Walls
Walls exist more than ever in our current society.
About
Walls exist more than ever in our current society. We looked around and saw a nation-building higher and higher barriers between one another. These walls separated people from each other. We are an organization that is unafraid to address these barriers and are committed to breaking them down. We believe in action over words and making service a part of our daily lives. One of the most distinguishable characteristics of our organization is our focus on telling the stories of the unseen and building relationships with people to walk with them out of poverty and homelessness. We are committed to the people that the world passes by because we believe the people struggling with poverty and sleeping on the streets have lives and stories that are just as valuable as ours. Another major distinguisher to our organization is simplicity in our response to helping people. We don’t believe that fear has a place to stop us from loving someone. We strive to view everyone as an individual with a story and a hopeful, better future. Humans are humans and we desire to show the same unconditional love to each of them. In 2004, Terence and Cecilia gathered two trash bags filled with clothes and walked through the streets of downtown Atlanta. On Auburn Ave, Terence and Cecilia encountered a homeless woman. “Do you know anyone who needs clothes or shoes?” Cecelia asked. The lady immediately responded, “Of course, I need some right now!”
