Love Beyond Walls Premiere

 Several years ago, Terence and Cecilia gathered tons of worn clothing, used shoes, stuffed them into two black trash bags, and headed toward the heart of downtown Atlanta.

They didn’t know where they were going, they only knew they wanted to find a few people living on the streets, love on them, and give away the few items they were not using anymore.

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!” When this warm-hearted lady rummaged through the two bags, she came across a pair of black shoes, and started jumping up and down with excitement. “I just prayed for a pair of shoes last night, and God answered.”

Terence and Cecelia looked at each other, and in that moment—the concept of “Love Beyond Walls” was born. On the ride home, they discussed the possibilities of mobilizing people to join them in moving past the walls that divide people, and take love to people in creative ways. That day, they both became compassionate about work in the trenches, and the desire to love people where they were.

Over many years, Terence and Cecilia have led a couple hundred creative service projects, worked among the homeless, in schools, in communities, and have mobilized over 700 volunteers to take love into environments where it doesn’t exist—partnering with churches, businesses, and individuals.

They both have a deep passion for doing work in the trenches, and are moved to see people restored. In 2013, they were directed to go an untraditional route in their work by starting an organization that primarily focuses on raising awareness of societal needs and mobilizing people to take part in those stories. Thus, Love Beyond Walls has become a reality.

Love Beyond Walls is a 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the federal government.

Terence Lester held a great event. The setting was amazing. The food to the auctioned pieces which filled the room was phenomenal . I had the chance to see how much I'm blessed . Watching this documentary was an eye opener. Guys you have to see it . Atlanta is going through a homeless epidemic.  Terence took on daring campaigns to shed light on  situations that  people of the world face. From being homeless to even wearing one outfit for 60 days. Just to see how a child felt having one outfit for a school term. When I seen him walk 30 miles non stop for a great cause. It showed that he is determined to change a life one day at a time. Love Beyond Walls has built a strong organization. Just by meeting the entire team at this event. It showed family, love and care. I recommend you guys go to their site and watch this documentary. It will change your overall view on the world. This screening made me want to help out as much as I can. So make sure you guys go to their site and witness the new world of help. You will want to see the next thing Terence will do....
