We are all excited and looking forward to the new things that are happening with LM as we prepare for summer!
We will return to the Loft on June 1st, for our monthly ” Unite” gathering. In the meantime, we will maintain our service in the homeless community, that takes place every other Tuesday evening in Ontario, Ca. For more information see our “Move” section.
Like-Minded is both excited and humbled by our consistent growth and new partnerships. Because of your support and greater opportunities, we will be able to continually provide content that will access you more efficiently. This will be accomplished through our new website that will allow Like-Minded members to connect to each other with ease.
This summer we look forward to our new projects in the areas of Sex Trafficking and providing sustainable support for Like-Minded businesses. A LM businesses is one that provides positive products with a business agenda that is geared towards giving.
These initiatives have all been made possible by your support!
Tonight, Like-Minded launched our new campaign called, “Move”. Move is an opportunity to put your faith in action and become the change you want to see in the world. This is accomplished through using your gifts, time, and resources to help and inspire people who are in need.
After bringing toiletries for the guests, LM members took over the evening and began to use the gifts given us to be a blessing for others. Brian(Superb)Oliva sang songs of love and encouraged everyone with his amazing gift of spoken word. Alicia Naomi was also among the attendees who shared spoken word and poetry.
After a song, we would stop and pray for anyone who asked for prayer. After a poem we would sit and listen to a brave soul tell a story of struggle and triumph. After listening to a story from a guest, One of our members would share a story of our own. Towards the end of the night, the Holy Spirit began to move and we all knew that we were one. One people, connected to each other, seeking after the same God.
Every Tuesday, Like-Minded Move meets to encourage and love on those in need. Promoting a change in people and an opportunity at a more extraordinary life.

This Tuesday, Like-Minded will be launching our new campaign called ” Move“. Move is designed to encourage people to get out in the community and be the change you wish to see in the world. On Tuesday, March 12th, at 7pm, We are partnering with OnPoint Ministries to assist in the revitalization and inspiration of people in need. It was brought to our attention that a man named Llemonte had been using his home to allow the homeless to eat breakfast in the mornings and shower at night. He has also opened up his backyard to dozens of people who are able to sleep there on any given night. Like-Minded has been looking for an opportunity such as this. Llemonte has been running his ministry out of his home, and needs help to continue his work. Like-Minded has agreed to assist in bringing our goods and services.
What do they need?
Right now what is needed most, is toiletries! People need supplies for showering and grooming.
Supplies like:
Soap
Shampoo
Cologne
Toothpaste, Floss, and Toothbrushes
If you would like to bring any of those items to help someone, they would be greatly appreciated!
Now, aside from bringing toiletries, We wanted to make a greater impact by utilizing the gifts of our members. Instead of just dropping off items and leaving, We want to throw a mini party for everyone there! Poets, Artists, and Singers are welcome to come and demonstrate your passion so that you may inspire someone!
If performing or entertaining isn’t your thing, no problem! Come listen to someone, come and pray for someone, come and give a hug or a pat on the back. These are the things that make life extraordinary.
We want to fellowship, encourage, and love on some folks who may have never had the opportunity to have their stories listened to.
If you are interested in Performing via Singing or Poetry, Or if you have a cool creative idea that you feel would be a blessing this Tuesday, please respond to info@belikeminded.com
On the first Saturday of every month Like-Minded hosts an event called, “Unite”.
This is an opportunity for you to come get inspired and challenged to be to person God has created you to be.
A person who is “Like-Minded” lives a certain lifestyle. It’s a way of life that represents someone who believes in the Love of God, and the idea that life is meant to be extraordinary.
By bringing in some of today’s most influential leaders and creatives in their own space Unite provides the necessary tools, and equips you on how to better experience and share the love of Jesus in your life. You will also dig deep and discover how to take bigger and better steps on the road to making life more extraordinary. Plus, participants are given the unique privilege to connect to other Like-Minded individuals.
After attending Like-Minded, “Unite” you have no choice but to leave encouraged, inspired, and ready to be the change you want to see in the world.
This upcoming Saturday is going to be incredible! We are so grateful to have with us, Marques Nelson and Nathan Neighbour!
Marques will be blessing us by leading worship, and also promoting his new album, “ My More”
Who is Marques Nelson?
Marques Nelson
“I come from a big family and was always exposed to a lot of music, a lot of sports and a lot of church. I still remember that definitive moment when at an event I was able to hear a musician making this unbelievable sound on the organ. It was as if he made the music come alive. In that moment I knew that I wanted to make THAT sound. I think I got my rasp and soulful sound from my grandfather who I would hear singing and humming hymns around the house. The bounce in my music comes from my mom who played piano since she was 5, while my vocal tone comes from my stepdad who was a professional singer. I went through the music program at John Muir High in Pasadena then studied Arranging at Azusa Pacific University. Although I got my start on the drums the piano is now my instrument of choice while song writing and singing is my passion. Hope Covered in Rhyme! That’s the music. That’s the message. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of my new CD My More, hope you like it.”
