Benefit event flyer - please spread around

As I mentioned in the last post, we could use some help promoting the Love Wins Benefit Party (that is now just eight days away!).
If you have access to a community bulletin board, church bulletin board, etc., we’d be much obliged if you would print up a copy or two of this LoveWinsFlyer and post it [...]

New Book, New Event, New Nonprofit!

Hello there! My name is Melinda Pearce. I’ve been a big fan of Love Wins/friend of Hugh’s for a while, and I’m now joining him on this blog to help spread the word about all things Love Wins (you’ll see news from me about once a month).
Without further ado, let’s get to the exciting stuff [...]

A Huge Thank You

My friend John works for NC State’s IT Department. For their holiday project, they decided to make Love Wins Ministries one of the objects of their giving… and they came through, big time.
We received:

23 pairs of socks
53 tubes of toothpaste
57 toothbrushes
64 bars of soap or body wash bottles
18 sticks of deodorants
50 packages of hand warmers

The Death of Evelyn and the Failure of the Church

Almost a year ago, I wrote a blog post about Evelyn, a person I met early on in my time in Raleigh, who would go on to die an unfortunate and premature death.  I often tell her story in churches, because her troubled life is quite stereotypical of what I see out here.
I published an [...]

The Newsletter for August Has Been Sent

I bet you thought I had forgotten, hadn’t you?
Well, no such luck. I have been busier than a long tailed cat in a room full o’ rocking chairs, but I managed to sneak in under the wire and get the newsletter out to your inbox.
In any event, if you did not receive the email, it [...]

Update on The Gathering

Good News!
We have been successful in our search to find a location to do a weekly gathering. As things look right now (we are still working out the details of when), sometime in September we will begin meeting in the Tarboro Road Community Center, located just off New Bern Avenue.( Click the map to see [...]

Bringing You Up To Date

It has been a while since I updated the blog here, but it is not because nothing has been going on; it is because too much has been going on.

As I told you a few weeks ago, I have moved to a much more convenient apartment closer to downtown.  While this is an overall gain,  [...]

May’s Newsletter has been sent

You see, we operate from this crazy premise we see in the teachings of Jesus that love, once given, spreads and grows (sorta like yeast, or a mustard seed…) and takes hold and, in small ways and in incremental bits, works to change us, then each other, and then, the world, working [...]

Follow Love Wins On Twitter

As I mentioned yesterday, I don’t have a lot of time to do serious blog posts. I wish I did, but I just don’t. However, I do grab quite a bit of internet time, but usually in short snatches. With that in mind, I created an account for Love Wins on Twitter.
Twitter is a way [...]
