The vision of The By Name Project was realized in later part of 2016, when President, and founder Jeff Wright, began to obediently surrender to the Lord's calling for him in ministry on the streets of Sumter here in South Carolina. Initially, this ministry began by approaching individuals in the community who simply looked hungry and lost. One by one, their immediate need was being met, and the opportunity was being seized to show the love of Jesus through action. Over the course of the next few weeks, Jeff began to call on our Lord to send him help if it be His will. One by one, people who had been praying for clarity on the recent callings they had felt were divinely directed to The By Name Project which, over the years have consisted of various staff members and a multitude of loving volunteers. Within the next couple of months of those initial callings The By Name Project became a 501(c)3, Non-Profit organization and continued to let the Spirit of Jesus Christ lead the way. As an organization, we began to meet and minister at a local park in town across the street from Burger King on the Corner of Lafayette and Calhoun St. in Sumter. Since then, TBNP has continued to (via donations) provide delicious food, and new to gently used clothing for our friends at the park on the first and third Saturday every month. We currently meet on those Saturdays at 305 Di**le St., also in Sumter. With the grace of God, and your helping hand, we can continue to serve and love our neighbors “by name” through addressing immediate needs and cultivating life changing relationships. If you are interested in coming out and getting involved, if you would just like more information on our organization, or maybe even make a donation, click on the contact us link above. And please feel free to like and share our page. God Bless you all!
