ATLANTA, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A powerful and
impactful Young Leaders Conference (YLC) 2019, was recently
held in Atlanta, GA. at the
Georgia International Convention Center, welcoming over 5,000
millennial emerging leaders from 49 states and 22 countries. The
three-day conference, presented by Elder Mark Moore, Jr., & The
Moore Group Enterprises, LLC, hosted emerging global leaders and
visionaries with a desire to grow in the areas of ministry, media
and the marketplace.
One of the many highlights of the conference came in the form of
a powerful speech by Rep. John
Lewis, followed by a major announcement in front of
thousands of energized attendees. Mark
Moore, Jr., Founder of YLC shared with the thousands in
attendance that the organization has purchased over 1.5 Million Dollars of medical debt to help over
1,200 families who are on or below the poverty line and on the
verge of bankruptcy in the metro Atlanta area. This will allow the families'
medical debt to be canceled, as a result of YLC's generous donation
through a non profit organization that specializes in purchasing
debt.
"We've done a lot of research to find out how YLC and our
ministry can leave a footprint in the world outside of the
sanctuary. We found that, in Atlanta alone, there are millions of dollars
of medical debt for people at or below the poverty line - which is
also the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the country. This debt
payoff is bigger than the church, but it's a move to make a real
impact, give back, and help families we don't even know. We
want to impact the entire world, and we will, but we will start
with our community right here in Atlanta. From hosting Presidential Candidates
& global thought leaders to announcing this debt relief, it's
all part of our initiative to provide tools to those looking for
the resources needed to create positive change in our world,"
stated Mark Moore, Jr., Founder of
YLC.
YLC also hosted compelling discussions with 2020 Presidential
Candidates including; Senator Bernie
Sanders (D-VT), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator
Cory Booker (D-NJ), former
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Julián Castro
and South Bend, Indiana Mayor
Pete Buttigieg, who were all
well received by the audience. Topics discussed included; their
plans for the direction of our country and their vision for the
future, their plans for engaging Black voters and churchgoers,
their stance on healthcare, gun violence, mass incarceration,
immigration and other key issues. The event was
covered live on CNN, NBC and MSNBC.
In addition, YLC 2019 also featured Grammy award winners,
multi-millionaire business coaches, megachurch pastors and industry
executives including; Rev. Al
