5 Strangers I Met At Lunch

by Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes

In 2008 my wife and I were on the Tom Joyner Morning Show Fantastic Voyage and one day we both decided to go to separate events and meet up at a later time. When I went to lunch I saw a table with 5 people and I asked if I could sit with them. Everyone was cool. I didn’t know them and they didn’t know me. They knew each other.

Now it’s 2012 and I remember the lunch like it was yesterday. 2 of the 5 people I met that day I still communicate with on a regular basis. 3 of the 5 people at the table that day are now on the legal team for the family of Trayvon Martin and they are Benjamin Crump, Daryl Parks and Natalie Jackson. Their efforts have helped give birth to the Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation. The JusticeTM is a non-profit organization that was established in March of 2012.  If you want get involved with this movement go to  www.justicetm.org for more information on ways you can support this cause.

The 4th person at the table was CoCo Brown who has appeared in movies, plays and had the independent music classic Sun Dress. The 5th person at the table that day was L.J. Holloway who was a lawyer back then but now has started a nonprofit organization called All About HealthCare Advocates.

I wrote this to remind you that when you are amongst strangers you just might be entertaining angels.  I recently read in Reid Hoffman’s Book, The Start Up of You that the word company is derived from the Latin cum and pane, which means breaking bread together. You may never know when or where but sooner or later you will be breaking bread with great company.

Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes is Available for Vacation Bible School

Last June 22nd, 2011 I was asked by Millicent Perry to speak at the Greater Ward Chapel AME Church Vacation Bible School.  I was inspired to use Luke 10:29 and my topic was entitled “Who’s My NEIGHBOR”

When I say Who’s My NEIGHBOR, I want you to say I’m Your NEIGHBOR

Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and say who’s my neighbor? Go through your phone and say Who’s My NEIGHBOR? When you pray say Who’s My NEIGHBOR?

Luke 10:30 Then Jesus answered and said a certain man went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who

1. Stripped him of clothing
2. Wounded him
3. Departed leaving him half dead

Luke 10:31 Priest saw him and looked the other way

Luke 10:32 Levite came and looked and passed on the other side

Luke 10:33 Samaritan had compassion

Luke 10:34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

Luke 10:35 On the next day when he departed he took out two denarri and gave them to the innkeeper and said to him take care of him and whatever extra you spend when I come again I will repay you.

While reading the scriptures there were 8 things I found that spell out the word NEIGHBOR.

(N) Nurturing – Bandaged his wounds. Stopped the bleeding.

(E) Extra – Pouring on oil and wine. We deserve the best.

(I) Inspiring – Set him on his own animal. Every neighbor needs a lift.

(G) Going – Brought him to an inn. In life where are we taking each other?

(H) Health – Took care of him. Made sure he was alright. Do you check on your neighbors?

(B) Business – Gave two denarii to inn keeper. Handled the expenses.

(O) Organize – Take care of him. Scheduled help in his absence.

(R) Resources – I will repay any extra expenses. Had enough to keep sharing.

Who’s my NEIGHBOR, I’m Your NEIGHBOR

We have to ask Who’s My NEIGHBOR so we know exactly who we are to help. If you take P off the word HELP it leaves you with HEL. The P is for Pray, Praise, Protect, Provide and Partner. If we don’t do these things for and with our neighbors it can cause more hell than we could ever imagine.

Who’s My NEIGHBOR, I’m YOUR NEIGHBOR.

Since I’m your NEIGHBOR  I’m here to let you know that your NEIGHBOR needs some help. This message is my flower pot and in order to get a flower you first must plant a seed. Before you leave here I want all able bodies to plant at least 1 seed into my life. The three types of seeds are.

1. Comment seed – Leave me a word of encouragement.

2. Connection seed – Inform me of others that can hire me to speak at their upcoming meetings, conferences and events.

3. Change seed – Make a donation.

Before I sit down I need to know one thing. Who’s My NEIGHBOR, I’m Your NEIGHBOR.

Book The W.O.E. Man Show For Black History Month in 2012

Do you have a Black History Month program coming up?

With powerful words, Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes is here to help. Countless individuals vow for a change. Be it spiritually, financially or mentally, goals cannot be accomplished without the encouragement to take the necessary steps.

From the work place to the church pews, people need encouragement to propel them to the God-given success they already possess, Hayes says. While it’s inside already, sometimes an extra push is needed. I strive to provide that.

Hayes has the unique talent of turning names and words into positive messages within seconds right before your eyes.  Hayes calls these Derricknyms. His critically acclaimed first book by the same name (first print 2000) has been utilized in corporate, religious and scholastic settings. Personalized Derricknyms can be ordered by going to http://www.derrickhayes.com/derricknyms/. One of the most frequently used Derricknyms is W.O.E.

I always tell people to make sure they give others a W.O.E. daily. Hayes says, “In the general context, a woe is a problem.” In the Derricknym fashion, it is a Word of Encouragement.

Hayes is a highly sought-after speaker nationwide. He has been featured as the keynote speaker at several events sponsored by such entities as the U.S. Department of Commerce, Brown Sanders College, Georgia State University, Tennessee Childcare Facilities Corporation, Mississippi 4-H, American Camping Association, Bowie State University, Tennessee State University, Georgia Power, Jackson State University,  and many others.

As a featured writer, Hayes has had articles and columns appear in several publications and on many Web sites.
