Invisible People: How Can I Make a Difference?

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

I received Chris Brogan's e-newsletter this morning and was lead to Mark Horvath's Invisible People, a project that gives voices to the homeless across the country. This one caught my eye ... and mind ... and heart:


(Rashid from InvisiblePeople.tv on Vimeo) Rashid is no different that you and me. In fact, he's got about 12 years more in the working world than I do. Despite his circumstances ... amazing indeed ... Rashid still finds the passion to be kind to others. How about you? Can you make a difference? Yep.

If you live in the Nashville area, Lambscroft Ministries and Woodbine Cumberland Presbyterian Church provide food, shelter and a hot shower two nights a week to some of friends without homes. What can you do to help?

  • Come eat a meal with our friends
  • Come watch a movie with our friends
  • Come talk with our friends
  • Come read a story or share a bible study with our friends
  • Make a meal for our friends (Wednesday or Saturday ... email Pat DeVries)
  • Bring some new socks, jackets or blankets

I've had my doubts and concerns about helping others when I had an extra two (not three) cinnamon rolls. But it wasn't that hard once ... once ... once you just reach out your hand to help another. You can make a difference.
