Giving Back Giving Big
Posted in: Peculiar Place, leadership, the love of God
In just a week or so, peculiarplace is going to do for the first time something we plan to do forever! Give Back! At a time when so many people are hurting, so many shelters and food pantry’s have more people in need than food, we wanted to provide some people with a little something to maybe help them have a glimpse of Christmas.
I ordered these bad boys today and cannot wait until we get them. I have been so blessed to be surrounded by a family and launch team who are givers and believe in sacrificial giving! I love my crew!!
So, here is how it is going to work. We are simply going to ride around Old Fourth Ward, jump out of the car and place a gift card, denomination between $10.00 & $100.00, in their mailbox!!! We plan on saving at least twenty of the cards to walk through, Underground, Five Points Station, as well as Auburn & Edgewood Ave., putting these cards in the hands of individuals we randomly pick out. We plan to do the face to face action two days before Christmas and be “mailbox bandits”, striking at anytime when the gift cards arrive.
We are also creating a website to allow you and others to tell us how you are giving back, what you might be doing for someone in need this Christmas, and also a chance for those who received the cards to tell us what they did with their “extra” money.
What do you think?

What a great, radical idea to share the love of Jesus. Love how you think AND act. Sounds like an amazing launch team that God is already using in BIG ways.
Rock on!
Love the idea bro.
I’d double check on the mailbox deal…I think it’s against the law to open people’s mailboxes….I remember when I was a teenager we got in big trouble putting ads in our neighbors mailboxes advertising our lawn buisness.
I don’t think the people will care becuase of what you’re doing…..I geuss just don’t get caught! Haha
LOL!! I thought about that. And you are right the residents wont care, but I have to make sure the person driving the get away car can really drive!! LOL!!
Just following God’s lead and desiring to make a HUGE IMPACT FOR THE KINGDOM in and around downtown Atlanta!!
Do your thing, Lloyd!!
ha…yeah just drive fast!
love your heart and passion lloyd!
Lloyd, this is awesome. Our church is doing a GIVE BACK challenge as well. Cannot wait to hear some of the stories and how God uses you and your investment in His kingdom. Keep on. I enjoy following you on twitter. Have an awesome CHRIST celebration!
