IJL IN ACTION
Whether in the body or out as the worldwide evangelist Paul would say... Around November 19, 2018, In the middle of the night, I found myself jumping up out of my sleep hearing the words "Just Love" not knowing it would become God's plan for the now 501c-3 nonprofit "It's Just Love Inc." It's Just Love Inc. has been 100% in the community even before
the papers were legally stamped.
​
Here are some of our past "Love-in-action" events, and along with Its Just Love Inc. first grand opening/conference!
CARRIAGE HOUSE
At Christmas we did an event for Carriage House Shelter in Flint MI. It's Just Love Inc. partnered with Praying Wives Worldwide Ministry and filled 100 bags of various items to the families who had to reside at Carriage House Homeless Shelter, in 2020 December.
Many others help with this project of love fillings bags with children, to adult items that they really needed, especially since Covid-19 had impacted people's lives so much. A little touch of love from the heart of "It's Just Love" and others made all the difference to some who had almost lost hope.
My grandson Butter has been helping and understanding what helping a community in need means for a few years now. He was so happy to bring cupcakes to share and show his love to someone his age. Thank you to the volunteers of It's Just love, they are so remarkable. One of our donors was the Target in West Bloomfield MI, thank you Holly and Josh for the Target gift cards, you guys made a few families smile looking forward to your continuous partnership
TSA CRISIS
It's just Love was there when TSA had a shutdown for a couple of months. Threatened with being fired if they didn't show up for work, most of the CCX workers were coming to work without pay since it was a government job.
Some workers had to rely on the public to help with there needs. During this time It's just Love Inc. was a fairly new non-profit, but Founder Evangelist Wanda Shelby felt like new or not, this foundation had to help in some way, big or small and so it did! $1,100 in gift cards in $25 increments was collected with the help of close friends and family, co-workers, and whosoever would give to help some of these workers feed themselves and their families.
It's just love Inc. started its journey of love distributing gifts cards to help families in need.

IT'S JUST LOVE, INC. GRAND OPENING CONFERENCE
Its Just Love Inc.'s first live grand opening/conference, which kicked off with an amazing silent auction and free food for the community. Everything was donated by awesome friends who believe and wanted to see this vision grow as well as having an open heart for the people of God.
It was an abundance of food and spiritually anointed comedy brought by worldwide comedian JD smiles, accompanied by the amazing poet Ms. Peace, her words often have people just starring deeply. We had praise dancers, and so much many out of town guests who brought the spirit of the Lord with them as well as their blessing and support. The greatest gifts were given out but the most important, the Holy Spirit. He moved and it released the welcoming spirit of who-so-ever needed to receive salvation at that time. He was strong and waiting with love to be given.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed
and commissioned me to bring good news to the humble and afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted, to proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives and freedom to prisoners.
- Isaiah 61:1 MSG
