One of the most inspirational songs of this album is “Change The World,” which features Hollyn and has origin in Derek Minor’s ability to travel. One country that is very important to him is Haiti, and a ministry there he supports is called Hands and Feet Project, an organization whose purpose is to “provide family-style, residential care and sustainable solutions that fight against Haiti’s orphan crisis.”
He recently travelled to Haiti with filmmaker Will Thomas to create a video for this song. All of this, as well as Minor’s interview with us, occurred before Hurricane Matthew impacted Haiti, killing hundreds and leaving tens of thousands displaced.
Derek Minor believes that each person has the power to change the world. Although “changing the world” can seem like an overwhelmingly large goal, Minor says that doing a good deed, no matter how small it may be, is changing the world.
“When my wife had delivered our children and couldn’t work for the longest [time], we had people come over and help clean the house. That’s changing the world.”
He says that though many people can see changing the world as having to impact an immeasurable amount of people, small gestures of kindness can change the world.
