‘The People On The Wall’ – Length 05:06
This story was filmed at the last Exodus Christmas Day lunch but it’s really a story for any and all seasons about Bill’s true and unquestioning connection with the real people in need.
“Sometimes it’s easy to walk by because we know we can’t change someone’s whole life in a single afternoon. But what we fail to realize it that simple kindness can go a long way toward encouraging someone who is stuck in a desolate place.”
– Mike Yankoski
“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”
– Mother Teresa
