The Hands and Feet Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hands and Feet Project is an orphanage in Haiti created by Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline. The idea of the whole thing was based on frontman Mark Stuart's enjoyment of the country of Haiti and the song "Hands and Feet".

[edit] Origins

Frontman Mark Stuart from Audio Adrenaline says this (courtesy of Christian Guitar Resource) :

“I was watching TV and there was a mudslide in Guatemala or somewhere in Central America. The village had disappeared and I was stunned. I just started to think about how we could help and what we could do to become the hands and feet of Jesus one person at a time, loving on them, touching them and hugging them. ‘Hands and Feet’ came out of mission experiences. [[Tyler [Burkum]]] had the music for the song and I had the lyrical idea and we kind of pushed them together. Charlie Peacock co-wrote on that too. We had the tune and he picked up the tempo. It was more of a ballad at first and he kind of changed it a little bit and it became more of an anthem. So, a little nod to Charlie Peacock right there for sure.”
