People Helping People

HOPE worldwide CEO Randy Jordan spent his MLK Day 2010 with the HOPE worldwide Southern California Chapter in Los Angeles painting school buildings, distributing 15,000 Red Cross fire safety door hangers throughout six counties and much more.

While in Los Angeles, Jordan shared with volunteers and partners about Dr. Mark Ottenweller’s arrival in Haiti and the deteriorating conditions there.

 

Brian Craig, evangelist and musician in the South Bay Church of the Los Angeles Church of Christ, was moved by the MLK Day of Service and tragedy in Haiti to share a song he wrote entitled “People Helping People.”

The song is dedicated to “HOPE worldwide and all who give their ‘time and heart away’ in helping others.”

Listen to the song at Brian Craig’s Blog

Below are some of the lyrics of “People Helping People:”

You don’t have to look far
You don’t have to look long
To find someone in need
Or something that is really wrong
Someone who’s lonely
If only we would take the time
Give our mind, start the climb
Help our neighbor not to slide
Together we’d be better
Nothing will break the ties
That hold the world together
Spreading HOPE worldwide
And what we give will in time
One by one multiply
Spreading HOPE worldwide
