  • "When we forsake the lives of others, we actually forsake our own."

  • thankyou for this..

  • im glad this video is here, made me realize something...

  • God is amazing. He truly is, I pray that the Christians in this world will come to this realization one day and actually take a stand and do what Jesus taught us to do: Love our neighbor as our self!

  • The 38 people who disliked this are truly heartless.

    We showed this at our schools Getting to Maybe presentations (about changing the world for the better) and a gym full of jr. high students all had tears in their eyes.

  • Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD forgive us

  • Great video! Come on people, what is wrong with you - we know this is true and we know it is happening NOW!!!!!!!

    So what are YOU going to do about it?

    You can make a difference - I have just returned from Romania helping little children who have almost nothing - I do that with my church - You can join with others and united WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

  • This video is so amazing

  • this is something i should keep as my fb status for the rest of my life.

  • wow, this is amazing! I've been to Uganda (for World Vision), about a month ago. I saw horrible things. Orphans, widows, hunger, poverty, dead... It's true what he says: 'When we ignore the widow and the orphan, we actually add to their pain.'

    It really gives those people strenght if we just think about them and pray for them. Sometimes they seem so far away, but we're all living in the same world!

  • Tragic, terrific, horrible but a true parallel of the world we are living. Is it fair? What do you do about it. Do something to positively impact your community, Jesus did not come to just sit, see, and broadcast the unfairness of this world; but he did something about it, he revolutionized it. Our job today is to continue to work that Jesus started.

  • so...how do YOU propose to solve global poverty?

    It's one thing to inspire people with videos (and a truly good one, no doubt), but it's another to actually do something.

  • @diaend Hey that's great question. That's why they set up I-HEART.org so once you've been inspired to do something, you have a place to go to get involved with different initiatives. Check it out.

  • i dont get it

  • so is this gonna be another DVD or what?

  • This is amazing! I cannot wait until it "comes" I assume it's a new release? Well I will go see it and I will support to the absolute best of my ability..

    This brought me to tears..! Definitely makes me want to turn off my computer, give away my cell phone, and stop buying clothes for myself all to help people! When we assume/look over these things as stated, we neglect the ONLY TRUE reason that we are here... to show and tell others of His LOVE!

  • beautiful.

  • </3

    :'(

  • Soo true!

  • gave me chills.

  • God when i watch video like this, it's impossible not to feel anything! ='(

    So to those 35 persons who click dislike button, You are HEARTLESS! and you should know how we pity you for not realising the truth!

  • so true that its painful

  • Wow... amen (Y) =] so true...

  • lovelovelove it!!!(: so Beautiful.

  • this video makes me relizes what i have & what other people dont..

  • @cameraman2684 it isnt that easy,

  • wahhhhhhhh incredible........

  • okay im totally for this and this is sad and made me think and want to help but this video is kind of making it seem like we cant have fun life isnt fair live with what you have and enjoy it

  • anyone know the sound track in the background?

  • who am i to sit here with my ass relaxed while seeing others suffer from pain, poverty, abuse, grief, and all these criticisms as if im better off than they are? am i a better one than the others? no, im not.. no we are never better than the other.. we are all the same..unless we make a difference..

    thank you for showing me the reality..

  • This is one of Greatest Videos..It`s has emotions,it`s has THE TRUTH...and if we don`t to something no one will..We have THE MESSAGE, and we have to do something with it...CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL!

  • I was wondering, whats the name of the guy that is narrating this?

  • @alcidesyoable joel houston i believe, one of the heads of hillsong unietd. i think he's the son of brian houston

  • our world NEEDS MORE PPL LIKE THEM!

    but man..this vid just hit me home. i just, somehow in the 4 minutes realised a lot of things that are wrong in my way of thinking, how so many of us aren't doign what Jesus wants us to do.

  • I absolutely love this video. I came into a teen christian group called Young Life, its wordwide, and I know that god has given me young life to give me my reality check because I have seen so much. I go over to philly to help a church that is changing the city, I see these videos that inspire me even further to do what makes me feel like i make a difference. God has a purpose for us all, and im here to fufill it.

  • This video is AMAZING, you guys inspired me to strive for my best, and i really want to do what you guys do when i grow up !!!!

    God Bless you !

  • @kpjesuslover key is when u Grow up, hope u find ur own light! We are only messangers, not The Savior

  • We're all in this together...now I get it. Bless us oh Lord. Bring justice to your land. Amen.

  • Comment removed

  • amen.

  • this video.. is a huge reality check.

    it truly made me cry.

  • @MadamePopsicles It's beautiful. Definitely shows how lucky we are on this Easter Sunday.

  • everything in this video touches me deeply since i realized what it means to be a human being, and even deeper after i found out i'm loved by the Father through Jesus. What can i do to help?For real, not just pitty talk. we are used to being apathetic to the people who suffer by our side in a daily basis. how will we go after the needy, the poor, the widow and so on? Gotta tear down the walls of religion, wake up for the call of loving, starting with people near us. live like Jesus.love like Him

  • incredible, in-your-face truth, thats what this is, truth and its embaressing that im sittin at this computer in a t-shirt and sweats with the AC on while there are naked kids dying of heat and much more, God bless you Joel and all of United and Hillsong church, and God bless you all, after all, we are ALL in this TOGETHER, with hearts... as ONE

    lets wake up.

    were alive.

    lets do this.

    peace.love.

    ben

  • Some people get so consumed with their own battles that they forget that their brothers are fighting bigger and worse battles in life. May it be spiritual or physical, battles are meant to be fought. But not alone =) This video has awakened me from my deep sleep in life. Thanks and may God make this bigger. May it spread to the hearts of all man on Earth.

  • I'm not a christian, but I still try to live with the same compassion that teachers such as Jesus showed. I think we need to keep in mind that it is very easy to love the ambiguous term "humanity," but when it comes to real people, it can be much harder.

    As i've said to a few of my friends, if you really want people to understand Jesus, preach with your actions instead of your words.

  • This is so good, you guys! : )

  • YEAH.THE DAy of the our LORD is coming........! as what the scripture says in REVELATION 22, behold i am coming soon.............

  • Well said! I look forward to viewing the rest of this documentary and seeing the movement grow!

  • Amazing. I think it is awesome that you guys are out there letting people know what is happening in the world in a way that impacts them. God Bless keep it up.

  • Amen!!

  • Thank you for sharing..Much needed reality check

  • This is just simply one word.Inspirational

  • This video really spoke to my heart, thank you.

  • this is such a great video! i really emjoyed it. i'm basing my presentation for school off of this! thanks :)

  • it might be a demo of one of their new songs

  • god blessing

  • Hey can anyone tell me the title of the song that is playing as the background music while Joel Houston is speaking? If you know, kindly post the song's information here.. I really need the song. Thanks in advance.. ;D

  • i thinks just some instrumental music from united

  • hey batman910708, did you already get some anwser about your qestion about the text from Joel Houston? I need this lyrics (text from this number). Thanks in advance!

  • it's one of the tracks in the all of the above album ... it's the backing track... without vocals I mean

  • Hey can someone tell me what song is in the background?

  • I can't wait to see this-

  • this video borke my heart. this is so real. that's the best video i ever seen in my life. god bless hillsong. you guys do a great job. one of your songs chaged my life

  • this one really toched my heart. Hey guys from united, thanks to y'all 4 your hearts

  • GOD JESUS, FORGIVE US FOR WE ARE SINNER.Yhanks so much for this video GOD.

  • agree

  • Well, this video catch my heart, that we all young people are not just fussy who or where to deliver the word of GOD. We as young people, MOVE NOW....it's not tomorow or next week to move for other to know them who is GOD in their lives. Let's move now.....

  • We all have many examples in our lives, i just wish that everybody who see this videos feel them or even the creator of this video feel what he says and maybe , only MAYBE we will pass this problem together.

  • A video i've been truly touched. can't help but share it.

  • I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this video... it was on valentine's day and I was just at home... I don't know what to say. I live in the Philippines, I see this EVERY day and it's something you get so used to...

    I want to make a difference and pursue worship and justice but I don't know what to do or where to begin.

  • next time that you are walking by a street and you see a needy person (a real one), you can go to a store and buy some food and something to drink, then you go after that person in need and give her the food, if you want, you can talk with that person a little bit, ask her name, hear her problems. That is a good start, and then you will start knowing about the will of the Father that Jesus taught. :) you will receive a lot when you give love, you will receive more love :)

  • thanks for this video.. it kinda gave me a wake up call & relieved me from all those selfish thoughts that i have had.. It's really a blessing that god gave hillsongs united to us.. ((:

  • Wake up calls are great.

  • This is so powerful that it sent chills when I watched it. Why aren't we helping? I know some of us do try to help. Do we help because we want to show off or do we help from our hearts and because we want to--not because we have to? I think about this often. Do you?

    I posted my video response because I wanted you all to think of the words to the song--it's only part of the song though.

  • This is a very profound video, well done Hillsong. Many people are missing the point to this video. IT isn't about joining an organization. There are many organizations out there. This is about serving the world. It is something in all of us, who believe and serve God. This video was created to awaken Christians to the reality of a world dying and suffering. Christians need to awaken the world is waiting. We need to lend a hand, lend a word. Be God's vessels, be all he has called us to be.

  • Amen to them showing a heart and also we know that god is working through them and i will be praying for those guys hardout.

  • We all agree something should be done about these issues, but fairy tale characters have nothing to do with fixing these problems.

  • amazing...

    hope to see this documentary soon

  • this is not an organization. its a movement placed upon the hearts of the people who desire to help. it can be in your neighborhood or on a side of a street where i homeless person is at. some people get the wrong conception that this an organization that does something but it is something more...its a movement. where one decides they are done ignoring the unfairness of others. when they take a stand and help those who are in need, instead of turning their head and thank God it wasnt them..

  • powerful.

    the truth in the philosophy of this movement is inspiring.

    & the examples of yourselves of how the world views suffering was humbling to see and it reminded me of the humility i should have before others.

    thanks for iheart.

    can't wait for the release.

  • strong as death

    actually things are not as they should be

    but what can I do? where can I go? what can I do?

  • You will do something if you want to do something, go see what you can do, I hope you do something, cause I want to do something too.

  • So, what exactly does this organization do? That would be helpful in this video. All I got from it was a reminder of how bad some people have it. Anybody? Do they visit these people who need so much help? Do they stay and improve the quality of life or do they stay for 3 weeks and move on? How is it funded? Anybody?

  • if all you got is what some people have it bad then watch it again.... it is what "you" do for these people. it doesnt necessarily mean you have to go to the ends of the world to touch these people but do your part in what you can do. its to remind us that we are all equal, and to count it as unfair for these people and not do anything then it is fair to say that we are the same hands that contribute to the unfairness...listen to the end.

  • this is a youth group/ worship band that travel from continent to continent, using mainly music to show the power of God's love, the are not an organization looking for money, they just do what they can and record it, this is part 2 of the project, they will release a dvd of them going out and helping hoping to inspire others to do the same, which people can show clips of them doing things which is part 3..

  • this is so true i am living in romania and i see this kind of things all most everyday and whats the most unfare thing is that the churches are not doing anything

  • if its so bad here why dont people move away?

  • The world is our own, and to he or she we give. It is up to us to be the light in an era of darkness. Set them free lord jesus. set them free. There is no finer way to put it.

  • awesome

  • so is the purpose of this organization to help the poor and needy by means of just doing a good thing cuz it's "the right thing to do"? or are they also going to give the FULL GOSPEL and let people know about a Savior that came and died for the rich and the poor, for the wise and the fool....

    just wondering....

    souls matter more than anything else right?

  • im sure they will. but in most cases, because of physical situations, it would be impossible for people to hear the gospel unless something or someone does something to help them. if you don't know where your next meal is coming from what care do you have about your soul? if you are dying of hunger what good is a bible verse? and i agree that souls matter more than anything else...but in order to make a difference in peoples lives you actually have to do something about their situations.

  • 1.6 Billion of people on this planet have never heard of the name Jesus Christ.

    I think as we reach out finacially, as we help to provide the basic biological needs for the people; the people will see the Christ that lives within us.

  • United isn't doing this because it's just the right thing to do. They do give the full gospel. To be in the position that they are in, I give them a lot of respect for all the things that they do.

  • how are u going to preach the gospel to a family that is starving??

  • I think he says, "but all too often, that's all we do."

  • he says "but all too often thats all we do because for us to do anymore is actually gonna cost us something."

  • thanx a loT!!! and after that he says "and if that's riddance???" he speaks really weird thank you

  • what does joel say at 2.55??? after "that's not right that's not fair"

  • "But all too often that's all we ever do."

  • Sapul ako. (Bull's eye)

    Yeah I love how they contrasted the poor and needy with their videos. Humility.

    I really hope that those street children spend the coins I give to them wisely. I was 'hit' with that one in the video. I always think that they would just spend it on cigarettes and such. Who am I to judge. Thank you, Lord, for United.

  • Can't change the world unless you change yourself

    let Christ take over you..and change yourself

    then, take on the problems you can't face alone :3

  • hi, can anybody tell me what is joel saying at 2:55, just after the "that's not right, that's not fair" part?

  • But all too often thats all we do.

  • I feel, now, that I don't do enough. This video could improve in only one way, giving a facet that people can use and tap into. What do I do now.....

  • yea... so true :( we all see these videos and then we feel really sorry for the people and would help if possible. but i, just as many other, don't know what to do now... :S i mean what can I all by myself do?? it's so difficult :(

  • when i watch this video it make ke feel i am so blessed...that i can eat 3 times a day...i drink a clean water..i can watch television..

  • alright as much as sad as this is.. why dont we help our country instead of wasting like 55 gazillion $ on other pplz?

    we cant just help OUR country can we?...

    and homeless ppl can get a job ... ik im being mean but im expressing my feelings... :\ i mean i feel bad for those ppl but they r half way across the world. no one helps us do they? we just HAVE to help other ppl besides ourselves. ik this sounds selfish but who ever agrees with me respond.

  • Though I agree with everything there's a horrible wrong thing about the vid , left is white , right is black , bad guys good guys , "us and them" , racist without intent probably , some of us don't need to be patronized by "cool guy" like you , you are not bringing news and you people get off the sofa!

    Are you doing your bit or still watching big brother?

  • why do people always have to make it about that? you're totally missing the purpose of the video..which is to shed light on what we do not do enough of, which is help the helpless the the broken in heart. He's saying a lot of us Christians live such a luxury life and just pass people by who do not have the same as we do and do not have access to it...stop making it about race....black or white..red..or blue..we sit comfortably and ignore stuff like this....and it's not fair as Joel said...

  • wow i wish everyone would see this video!!! so true!!!

  • omg this video is so true we as people need 2 take a step back and think about others b/c those ppl out there are noo differnt then us, its sad 2 think there r people out there who r suffering........... we need to make a change n apreciate the things we have!!!!!!!!!

  • horrible and you wont allow my comment on here because you are christians....

  • WOW !!

  • I really disagree with the previous comment...they were problems then and they still are so why did no-one try and stop it then? Who cares if they are not new problems, at the end of the day IT HAS TO STOP! And as far as im concerned 'never' is not in my dictionary, and it's not in God's either...ANYTHING can happen through God. We have got to have a positive attitude that things WILL change and not that they will never be solved!

  • i really like the fact hillsong use footage of themselves to show how we shouldn't be living. it's really honest.

  • when I was watching this, I was thinking, somebody said that happiness is "simply", just look at the bright side and forget about all the stuff that makes you sad.. I REALLY DONT AGREE with it, coz human only need one thing in order to be truely happy: LOVE. Problems arise in the world, its not a solution at all for us to just forget about them. As God says, we have to fight against sin, against selfishness, THATS how we can ever be happy

    Keep trusting God, and keep working hard

  • we live in a world today that doesnt really have no meanin. people watch television and get the illusion that everything is alright and that they dont need to do anything. but all we need to do is have compassion u know? we are able to help out and it wont hurt us but we always think of ourselves first. its when we thik of others first and ourselves last that we can ttruely make a change.

  • as much as i feel this video and feel the theme...

    i don't think these problems are new.

    marvin gaye sang about it decades ago....

    the world's always been a little imbalanced.

    and all of the problems are never gonna be solved, we just gotta keep fighting.

  • humans need help...

    we need to trust in him

  • IM CRYNG OMG how can i be so selfish.... IS NOT FAIR ...WE HAVE TO SHINE OUR LIGTH

  • nuff said. beautiful

  • this isn`t right what we are doing with this world!

  • wow. those are impacting thoughts... but i agree that they can't just stay as thoughts. they've gotta be actions. i've lived among the downtrodden in foriegn lands, i've passed a beggar without helping her, i've forgotton about humanity in moments of self-centeredness.... and as Christ's body... that's gotta change.

    powerful video united...

    i love it :]

    thanks for being a voice in our generation.

  • we live in a world of dualities

    Yes, helping the needy is a just cause, but it wont change anything

    go out and live your life

  • "we live in a world of dualities. Yes, helping the needy is a just cause, but it wont change anything

    go out and live your life"

    Well, it's exactly that type of attitude that means it wont change anything. Did you not understand anything in that video? The very fact that you said "go out and live your life" further proves you have ceded to this post-modern western dogma of "looking after number one." Look beyond the material bullshit

  • If everyone thought like you did...we'd be living in a much worse world than we are now...

  • Its funny, me and my friends use to talk about all of this and changing the world. Its been almost a year now since we talked about that idea and nothing has happened. But now i realized that we can only change the world if we change ourselves.

  • TOUCHING!

    it made me think differently about those things that are obiviously parts of our life... food and water... and simply the way WE act about needy people

  • every little thing we do actually affects the whole world...

    I really like that background song...

  • Wow this made me think abut the way I act sumtimes, we need to truly change oursleves before tryign to change anybody else.

    P.S. Whats the song in the background and when is the documentary coming out?

  • song.... iduno.

    it's coming out later this year. that's all i know.

    god bless.

  • HUGE message...all i can say...

  • We can't change the world unless we can change ourselves..

    start from the very soul of ours..

  • AMEN to this. its so beautiful, im a guy...and i cry everytime i see this...and i hope that many more ppl see this so we can realize that we have to care about others that suffer..

  • ..we need to have the heart to change the world...!!!

  • ..we need to have,, a heart to change the world...

  • Will this be out in theaters? Because that would be wonderful. I'm trying my best here to try and share this video with all my friends but it would be great if the documentary were out in theaters. Although the chances of a highly opinionated, religious-based documentary would have much interest with the outside world. Which just goes further to show how much even our country needs the love and compassion of God.

  • this made me cried.really nice wish that all saw this video we can realize that we have to share..

  • this gives me chills everytime i watch this.

  • what's the music playing in the background?

  • wow. that was amazing.

  • Hi there,

    i think this is an excellent video that shows the present reality of our world as well as the results of the decisions that our leadership has taken in the past. We have separated the social work/responsibility from the Evangelism and - now we as today's leaders we need to start unifying the followers of Christ and take the decisions that will change our tomorrow. We messages like this - we need to move from good to great - from one to many - we were called to change this world!

  • AWESOME just AWESOME

    it's amazing and it's really not fair jump around while others have to suffer =(

  • AMEN.

  • wow this is realy good...the words are extreamly powerful! (and sadly true)

    -whoever did this video thanks for the inspiration:)

  • Very nice

  • The most powerful thing for me is that most of the video from the left side of the screen is from worship. Its a potent image, how happy and euphoric we are in our churches and youth groups, and how all too often we think of church as another entertainment source, another place to elate us, when its true purpose is to prepare us for the ministry of living lives that reconcile others to Christ.

  • I'm sitten in front of a 13-year-old-boy who is telling me his story. He was born on a little town on Brazil, he got addicted to drugs with 8 years. The police caught him and sent him to a house of other boys, where he knew Jesus and his life changed. His dream now is to be a pastor. Man, how God is big, and wonderful. Its nice to hear that God still love people and save his children. God bless you guys, be the change

  • wow. thats awesome

    is it a documentary and songs? like, video mixes like the other dvd?

  • good...goood

  • this video is amazing. whoever put it together did such a good job. it is simple yet it capture so many of the problems we ignore on a daily basis, so well. you guys are awesome for putting yourselves in the video instead of pointing the fingers at everyone else even when you are responsible for changing the way people worship all across the world. humbling. thank you guys, this is perhaps the most powerful challenging video i have ever seen.

  • at 2:40, "as if were any better". ive heard that before and ive just really trying to stop myself from thinking that im better than those druggies or smokers in my school. cuz really, i sin too, i have my flaws too. whats the point of comparing myself, a sinner, to another sinner to see whos better. i think we should all compare ourselves to the one above.

  • this video struck me! made me realize i am one of those people who judge others merely by what i see thus adding more to their pain.

    sorry Lord, forgive me...

    thanks for posting this video

  • U Put it nicely, God help us all.

  • Amen amen amen.

    I love hillsong and God with all my heart, now it's time to show the rest of the world. This has really inspired me.

    Greetings from England :)

  • can't wait.

    thank you for this.

  • this is so sad but Real.

    God bless you guys!

  • This is amazing. so powerful.

  • I am responsible for this too.

    this is so true, "Were All in this together".

    The best video i've seen on youtube yet.

    Thanks you so much for sharing it. (:

  • It's easy to post a comment here commending this video - but I guess at the end of the day if we don't actually get off our butts and DO SOMETHING about what we see, and if it doesn't cost our lives anything, then everything the I Heart Revolution stands for has failed.

    My prayer is that in 2009 all who see "We're All In this Together" work towards fighting injustice, and not just for a fleeting moment to then get back to our everyday comfortable lives - but we make this our life.

  • "He who knows the good he must do, but does not do it, sins" - James.

    you can't just brush this aside..

  • good luck

  • Wow! te quedas sin palabras cuando ves este video y lo peor de todo es que es la realidad :( en serio le doy gracias a Dios por todo lo que nos ha dado y por que nos ama... somos muy afortunados, ay q ayudar a esas personas ;)

  • You can do something, there in your city. change your mind and give some place to the love of God.

  • 100% agree on this! you have countries that have millions of rich people like in urban China who have Guicci, LV, send their children abroad and spend their money like nothing while also millions of people in the rural area struggle to pay for food and live in drink water contaminated in toxic metals. I am one of the ones that have personally experienced this trend.

    just greed, but it happens everywhere in the world.

  • I know our generation can do the difference. We need to spread this message of Jesus Christ!

  • is this a movie????

  • its a feature-length documentary coming out this year

  • awesome

    im totally going to see it

    and its true, who are we to

    judge others? but god?

  • It's awesome that they are using pictures of themselves on the left side doing all of the things that Joel is talking about. He is definitely not pointing fingers, except at himself.

  • Is this supposed to make ppl feel guilty about where they are born, how they live their lives, that they haven't experiened any natural or unnatural disasters? I'm pretty sure it's not, but it made me feel that way!

    I agree with the actual message, partially, but how is it not 'fair' exactly? Those parts of the world have been on top at one point or another while the rest suffered, it's life, not everywhere will be great.

    I do feel sorry for the unfortunate, but some ppl choose their lives.
