Thanks to everyone who came out to the benefit party on Sunday! You can see pictures from the event at our Facebook page.
News & Observer religion report Yonat Shimron came out to the benefit – here’s an excerpt from her article in Monday’s paper:
Zacharias, who grew up in a Georgia single-wide, is not out to debunk Christianity. She is a believer, and her book is laced with stories of people who, she thinks, best convey a genuine Christian message. Hugh Hollowell, who founded Love Wins, is one of them.
A former Marine who gave up a successful career as a financial planner, Hollowell now devotes his life to helping homeless people in Moore Square. He is one of the people featured in Zacharias’ book, a collection of 19 stories.
About 100 people – including four or five homeless people – showed up at the Meymandi Theatre at the Murphey School for a silent auction and raffle to benefit that ministry. They listened to Hollowell and Zacharias propound their view of the Christian message – one of neighborly love.
(Word on the street is that a second article focused primarily on Love Wins is in the works…so stay tuned!)
