(Franklin, TN)--Will McGinnis, co-founder of the Christian band Audio Adrenaline hit a crossroad after years of touring.

“We were asking ourselves why we do this, why we leave our family. We wanted a more sacrificial reason to leave home.”

Hear the conversation between Will McGinniss and K-LOVE's Monika Kelly:

They wanted to help orphaned and abandoned children.

“We went down to Haiti in 2004 and began the Hands and Feet project. It’s been an honor to get to walk alongside and have an incredible cultural exchange with the Haitian people.”

The Hands and Feet Project has also helped keep families together by providing day care, they've helped kids complete high school and go to college and they've created jobs through Haiti: Made.

While Haiti has experienced considerable political and social unrest for a while now, Will sees hope.

“There’s a ton of churches there and there’s a ton of beautiful believers there. God is at work. Whenever we start going to Haiti, we didn’t bring God to Haiti, God was already there. Jesus was already alive. He was already saving people and He was already doing a great work. God is near and dear to the poor.
