Lost for Words is a story about how simple #ActsofLove can be the most powerful.
Watch the behind the scenes here: bit.ly/LostForWords-BTS
This film was inspired by the true story a young Burmese refugee who overcomes his challenges and fears with the help of a dedicated mentor who invests the time and energy into helping him. In turn, he pays it forward by reaching out and helping somebody else as well.
Lost for Words was produced to support the Jeremy Lin Foundation (@jlinfoundation) and PAIR Houston (@pairhouston), an organization that works with refugee youth and the winner of last year's Making A Difference campaign.

#ActsofLove
Jeremy Lin for President
Who the fuck wouldn't want Jeremy Lin reading to them everyday?
he came from a poor country so he probably wouldn't know he is
+Kaleb Young lol Korea is not a poor country
+Blazekwag01 he's from the Karen people of Myanmar/Burma....not Korea...
+nam He spoke korean
+Blazekwag01 shut u mouth comment he not korean we r karen from refugee Thailand bitch Burmese army kill my ppl
I helped out a new japanese kid at school two weeks ago he was being bullied by some idiots who made fun of his asian eyes. He later told me how hard it is to fit in with American people and that I was the only kid noticing him ever since he came from japan
Thats real kind of you :)
I hope he makes more friends
that's so nice man 👍👍👍👍
He never gave up, i love jeremy's attitude to help the others. He loved jesus like how he loved us. Jeremy is a kind person he have respect, loyalty and more.
Let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth.
Amen.
Unlike other you tubers, Jeremy seems to make real films instead of short vlogs or funny skits like other you tubers. I am really impressed by how he manages to be both a great basketball player and a great filmmaker. Congradulations Jeremy, you blew my mind.
a great dota 2 player too
lol
Love the subtle reference to John 3:16 when he woke up at 3:16 AM. Nice touch. I seriously doubt it was coincidental.
Jeremy may not be the best in the NBA but he is definitely one of the most caring people I have seen thank you Jeremy :)
He is bruh
@@joan2967 he is what.
I like how Jeremy Lin is more active on CZcams than kevjumba, and Jeremy is also busy (being an nba player). That's dedication.
haris mian Kevjumba and his father probably just do stocks and real estate with all the money they both raked in.
Kevjumba pursued an acting career and I don't think he has a lot of time to make vids now.
When words fail, actions speak.
A beautiful story with a powerful message.
That's the main reason why i love Jeremy Lin than any other players in NBA even in FIBA.
The moment the book dropped and distant flashback sounds played in that kid's head, I already wanted to tear up. The PTSD was already obvious to the audience. Damn. So deep :)
so happy you're using your fame as a platform to share God's love!
Much respect. Your videos are awesome and always positive. Wish you were back in NY playing for the Knicks. Maybe some day you will return. Keep the positive videos coming.
This is really beautiful. Reminds me of God's love. Thank you Jeremy Lin!!
I'm also Karen and i came from thailand..
Now I live in New york..
I'm your big fan jeremy lin I watched you game and you are my favorite player all the time...now you do a great thing and so happy you speak my language. ..will be more love from my people...Jeremy lin peace.
Jeremy this video has really touched me as a "stranger" myself. I have moved to the usa in 2006 because of the war in Lebanon. Believe me it was not easy at all adapting to the different culture and to all the bullying that i received. I am a 17 year old basketball player now and I am trying to succeed in the sport that I love in a strange country, kinda like you. I am inspired by your story, and for that I thank you Jeremy.
youssef chidiac you know lin was born and raised in the USA right
Stay strong, work hard and you'll achieve your dream! And never listen to people who bring you down. You can do it! 👊🏼
This hits close to home for me; I have a lot of friends who came to the US from their native countries(some of which are in really bad condition) only to get bullied by ignorant shits. For them it became increasingly hard to connect to people who weren't in similar situations, they stuck together and pushed people away. If it weren't for a series of uncanny coincidences I don't think I'd have made such great friends. They aren't foreigners; they're just people like us. So next time you want to be an ignorant dick and mess with the transfer student; take 2 seconds and try to step into their shoes. Jeremy; you're awesome for making this vid.
I will be honest... I cried a little
My favorite part was Chandler Parsons facial expression he was like W.T.F lol.
I almost cried. 😥 so amazing!
I myself am lost for words.
This made me cry
this made me cry it was really hartwarming
heartwarming*
+Tom Neville Dude stfu you know what he mea- oh... Uhhhh nice catch...
Matthew Zhang ya it's pretty short
I am actually crying now! I don't think this video deservers a thumbs down. At the beginning when the teacher dropped the book I just had the felling that it was because of the war! Its just sad that kids bully other kids especially Asian and African American Kids. I wish we could live in a world where everyone would be nice to each other. Now I am just going to share this with everyone.
i would have paid more to see this than twilight.
Am I the only one who thought that jeremy was gonna teach him how to play basketball and that he'd end up showing everyone up? Lol. Anyways, great video! Almost cried lol..
Imagine if at every school somebody was like jeremy lin. When someone is being bullied to stand up for him and help him. Even if when a student is new it is just a simple hello. It will still help the person out
I cried thru this
:D:D Pussy... ! I didnt cry .. just Sand.. well a lot of Sand went in my eye!
One of my friends is Karen, and she sent this to me. It really opened my eyes up to what she and those from other countries experience when they come to the US.
This exactly is why you are my favorite NBA player!
To God be the glory!! :)
oh man I really love every video from Jubilee Project, it really touches my heart deeply.
What a warm and touching story! Jeremy you can definitely be a great actor once you don't play in the NBA!! Can't believe Chandler Parsons was in it too lol ... Jeremy Lin and JubileeProject, always a WINNING COMBO!!! :D Thank you a million for takin the time to make this!! Much appreciated. And again, your smile always melts me away ... ❤
So sad but it always has a happy ending
I always knew Jeremy Lin was a very kind, gentleman, but never realized he was this. You're officially now my idol. Helping kids out, learning THEIR language. Just can't believe how nice this guy is.
I know how people feel when they can't understand English, my friend felt that. That is one of the inspirational movie for people who don't understand English and how hard it is.
Anyone else notice that at 3:00 the time on the alarm clock was 3:16 as in John 3:16 and was placed on top of a book "The Gospel" ???
omg He's reading the Giver!
They should make a movie about this. I will watch it and buy it and watch it over and over again.
respect man
The giver is the best book ever
I know! Finally someone recognized the book they read!
+Basketball Boyz YEAH I READ IT TOO BUT AT THE LAST PART WHEN JEREMY LIN SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE MONSTER AND THE HILL THAT WASNT IN THE BOOK LOL
Jeremy your one of my favorite nba players and now you inspire me to work harder and one day ill be in the nba playing basket ball with you
Good luck with the NBA buddy, hope you make it!
Thanks
ill be there too one day :)
Me too but I like the thinder
I mean rhunder
And can I just say how beautiful, heart warming and heat wrenching story this is, gorgeously done. Hope everyone is like this
I cried a little, and who would dislike this
atheist's
I'm an atheist and I almost cried :)
trolls or haters
people who probably got caught crying to this video LOL
What an incredible video Klo Lay Pla, Jubilee Project, and Jeremy Lin! This video hits home because of the work I do and the Karen families we see everyday in our local communities. I am incredibly happy and excited to forward this video clip to all the folks I know because it is encouraging to see such a powerful voice (yet often quiet) among us. Plus, it is so heart warming to see a familiar community/face of a Karen boy with Jeremy Lin. I wouldn't have imagined but then again, what do I know about Jeremy and Jubilee Project. What a delight you all are! God bless you all with strength, courage and an abundance of resources to continue the work you do for Him.
What is this liquid coming from my eyes?
for some reason a bunch of people started cutting onions during this video....
well you can call it
(TEARS of a CRY BABY)
PIECE
+william lambeth ikr, as I've gotten older (almost 30 now) I've become so cynical and jaded, I have very little faith in people left, and I don't know if it's just an act but J lin is really making it hard for me to resist thinking he's a good human being.
tears?
Penis
jlin7 might not be remembered for his time on the court, but he definitely stands out because of simple acts such as these that makes him a real human being. keep up the good work my man! and I do hope to work with you in similar roles in the future!
CONSISTENCY... and GREAT ROLE MODELS.. that's all children needs. Amazing work Jeremy!
You are an amazing person Jeremy, you take being a role model to another level, keep up the amazing work man!
I love the guy. Wish he was playing in L.A.
Watching this in class right now, and dang. I don't want to cry in class ): this is too touching )':
My mother also came from a country where there was a civil war. Once here in America, whenever she would here a loud noise, she immediately took cover and would be head down on the floor. Sadly, it was second nature to her.
Watching this, made me think of how brave and amazing she really is for having come here all on her own. This video has such a great msg.
Thank You
When I saw Chandler Parsons all like "Huh?" I bursted out laughing.
Awesome story
This is amazing
The world needs more people like this.
This really touches me. My uncle adopted two boys from Congo and two from Afghanistan. I imagine this is a lot what it felt like for them when they arrived. They came from horrible places, and they inspire me so much just with how often they smile.
Gives you perspective, seeing this in 2016. with the heated presidential race, the xenophobia. We have a chance as a society to make an impact in these childrens lives by giving them a fresh start. However we are letting the politics, the hatred, the fear get the best of us. This is how we make America great again not by building walls, stereotyping religions and races. This is the land of diversity, freedom, liberty, oppertunties, not hatred and fear.
This comment is beautiful.
Abul Nazeer that's so corny
stop trying to bring trump to everything... geez
U are one of the best players in the NBA
Genesis Madden nope
I, Notrobot yep
I was that new kid in school that didn't speak English. I came a long way since then. I appreciate all the people that reached out to me.
Utterly loved this. Perfection as a straightforward Short w a great message and purpose. Just loved it.
That was just amazing!!
Very touching. All your videos are inspirational! I have so much respect for you. I hope you do well in the playoffs! Also, don't put to much pressure on yourself. Just be yourself and you'll be successful!
I actually cried a little when I was watching this. Jeremy Lin is such a good role model.
As a Burmese person, I'm touched that this topic could be given light. And not just in the strict confinements of a politcally moved piece, but of the youth and the encouragement given to them for a safer future. Not just physically but psychologically.. Yay for Lin and Ka Nyaw! 😄
This... is amazing, so well done.. this is a true inspiration to my life and also me as a film maker and how I can position the viewer! Great job guys!
Great video
wow people can be so mean
Jeremy Lin plays Dota 2
Just sayin'.
xD but yeah this video was well made.
-le feels-
Chris Velis true
Chris Velis Hey also plays League of Legends xD He's like my role model. Basketball, Christian, LoL. My dude. haha
Heimer Donger Yeah man I appreciate that he can balance these things out. It shows you don't have to choose one over the other.
Jeremy helped me a lot this past year when My older brother left for boot camp I missed him so much I haven't seen him in a year but I watched a couple videos of Jeremy and was inspired I started playing basketball and I just turned 13 but now I'm playing varsity basketball thank you Jeremy a lot
J lin youre honestly such a humble intelligent dude. Im glad you made the nba, keep on doing ehst ur doing. Love the vids # linsanity i hope one day i get to take s pic with you
Way to go buddy, but I watched this at a Starbucks and seeing a grown man whimper in front of his laptop is not a pretty sight. This was a really well made film with a strong Christian message that moved me deeply. Sometimes we need to get out of our own heads, look around and see who we can help. Sermon on the mound brother. Loved this. You did a really good job acting too. Everybody did. You may have a second career. :)
JLin- May God continue to use you to spread HIS word. God bless
What a touching film to share this true story! Thanks for always showing love to those around you and making this world more beautiful, Jeremy & JP!
Lol. If you look at the comment section in other bball videos and higlights, everyone would talk stupidly and inappropriately. But if you look at Lin's videos and highlights comment section, most of the comments have respect.
cause many of them are Asians. Us Americans don't give or show respect
@Rick
Excuse me. Many are Asian-Americans.
speedcubedude nope, i meant what i said
Rick Shane then thank you for comment :'( you'll understand how it's feels if it was you. god bless you
Then how come they speak English, and why do many live in America and hold American passports?
jlin7 thank you so much for this short film :) God bless you!!!!!
I will shkw this to our small outreach - we are reaching the street kids in the Philippines and they are put in a kid center - usually mkst of their cases are abused, theft, human trafficking - we shared His love to them and slowly learning His words :) thank uou jeremy lin :)
I nearly cried, especially after hearing that it is based off a true story. Well done.
YES IT WAS A TRUE STORY! This story was happen to mo before... And now, I'm new. I didn't feel sadness anymore in my life.
Dave ANdrey TV cmon BRUH this never happened to me before
this is so amazing thanks to Jeremy lin for understanding us karen people..and others too :) I am so proud and happy when I see this video it make me smile @ cry some how I love it so much thanksss...
Was I the only one expecting him to teach him basketball?
The black kid is gonna teach him how to play ball in part 2... right?
You have no idea how much I cried ... Love you soooo much Jeremy Lin
As a middle school teacher this video hit home and had me in tears. One friend makes all the difference. Thanks for posting these hopeful videos. Keep them coming!
6:51 bruh we really not gonna notice the big ass black dude in the back just sitting in a middle school class
lmao
Hi Jeramy i'm 14 and i'm about to start a Military school and start Soccer, I want to take Soccer as far as I can, i'm a Christen and believe that God died for my sins and ahh well I just want you to pray for me so I can do my best, i'v been home schooled and not yet fully grasped class rooms.. Have a nice day and last but NOT least God Bless
*Christian
PolishKidKicks Mate, He is 14, give him a break
Besides, you missed the most obvious one
***** He's 14, not 4. He should be able to spell "Christian" -_-
...and "Jeremy" since his name is written right there in the title
I wish you the best of luck bud, I'm currently playing football and I have a scholorship to Boise State
alfie nash dhgl
Jeremy, you make the most inspiring videos and you are the best role model anyone could have. Keep doing what you are doing because you are sharing Gods grace
Such a touching and real story, Jeremy you are doing great stuff, keep it up.
#Linspirational
I'm not an immigrant, I'm an AMERICAN BORN Chinese student. I attended to Kindergarten in Brooklyn that is very mixed, but was picked on because I was Chinese. I then moved into Flushing, but went to an elementary school in Whitestone, that is not very mixed. The majority race was WHITE, with a couple of blacks and hispanics, Asians being the lowest. I was picked on and bullied up until I was in Junior High because I was Chinese. Even while I was in Junior High, I was still picked on just not as much.
I SPEAK English. I WRITE English. I READ English. But yet, I was still picked on because I was Chinese. Why? I don't know. I tried to stand up for myself, I told my teachers and their response was "Don't tattle". I told my parents, and their reply was "They're kids they don't know any better".
What am I left to do? Nothing but to keep it inside and just hope they would stop. Which didn't. I was always picked on. Whenever the topic of being bullied comes up, people always say: Stand up for yourself, speak up! It doesn't always work. I've tried doing that and no one helped me. I was left on my own. I don't know why I was bullied. I don't know why I'm the target. I'm not the only Asian in my class(es). Nor am I mean to my classmates. I remember, new students would come into my class and I had to be their translator. For half the school year, I helped translate and taught them English. When they were able to speak well enough, they befriended the 'bullies' instead and in return bullied me. Because no one helped me, I was left to keep everything inside of myself resulting in myself having a very low self esteem. Even now, when my husband asks me why I don't just speak up I respond to him because I grown up realizing even when I speak up, no one helps you. Even till this day, I still keep most of my thoughts to myself. I tried to make the newly transferred students feel better by being their friends, and teaching them English. But instead, they decided to be friends with the 'bullies' and bully me in return. It lead to me having a hard time trusting others. I feel like 'trust' can be easily broken once they find a better opportunity.
I have a daughter now and I try my best to set up a future for her where she would not have to go through this. But it is very hard. I will speak up of my story of how my childhood was like to her. Not to have her feel bad for her mom, but so she knows no matter how hard life can be, there would always be tomorrow. And tomorrow would be a brighter day. It's hard to get through, but once you get through it would get better.
Stay strong!
Who cares about your life? Just go back to your communist country
+Aung Lin that was so messed up. What of they just committed suicide because of you. Then what? Think about what you're gonna say before you say it.
***** dude,,Shut the hell up!! Are you communist mainlanders too? I'm tired of Communist mainlanders. They think everything from Taiwan and Hongkong is belong to them. Fuck no man, I hate every Chinese from China. Period. Stop coming to US. I have no mercy for communist Chinese..
Aung Lin What are you then? Someone from Taiwan/HK who has came to the US? First of all, learn better English if you want to start trolling and insulting people. Second, HK is part of China since 1997. Third, technically we can say Taiwan is also a part of China because when speaking to others bringing the thought up of going to China, Taiwan is included. So, by rule of the Common Law it would make it true. If you don't know what Common Law means, it's what it sounds like, when something occurs and everyone knows of it but that handful decide to say no, it's invalid because the majority of people agree.
Also, you comparing my family, relative, and ancestors to mainlanders and degrading them is so ignorant of you. I may be ignorant to how China functions because I never went to China, and just heard stories of China. But there's so many different parts of China. There's the rural and urban parts, just like in the US. Obviously different parts of a country would have different teachings. You can't just base a whole country from visuals you see, or because you feel insulted by other Chinese people from the Chinese community. I personally don't LOVE the new Chinese immigrants in my neighborhood because a majority of them came from the country side where they were not educated the slightest bit. So they don't even know simple manners such as covering their coughs, or sneezes. So this obviously gives the whole neighborhood (and my whole city) a negative image towards Chinese immigrants. But, that being said, my family was born, and educated in a major city in China. So I find my family to be very different from those other new immigrants. So you comparing a whole country is just ignorant of you.
If you're trying to troll and make yourself appear bigger, you've failed. Because you're just making yourself look stupid and small.
BTW don't be hating on immigrants because your family were once immigrants. Remember, they sacrificed a lot to attempt to give you a better future and eduction that they didn't receive back 'home'.
Doing good is contagious. Too bad some people are immune to it.
Hey Jeremy!! Just wanted to thank you for being such a good role model and being so committed to help others. Thanks for being such an inspiration. God bless!!
I want to meet Jeremy Lin so bad.
Same
Me too. I feel like he actually CARES and there's a sense of genuinity that doesn't come with most that preach the same kind of humbleness because we've seen him act on it plenty of times
same
+noobspam He is a good guy!! Once I was in Taiwan and I got to the same airport but I got there on 8/2/13 and he got there 8/3/13 so I got so pissed cause it was the only chance I could've met him
this video is about bullies in school
I think it's both, focusing on one and representing the other, whether it's on purpose or not.
Faith in humanity... Restore
Thank you for spreading the love and grace of God.
More reason to love Linsanity!. Thank you for making this, as a karen girl it really touches me. God bless you!. Maw ywar hso gay Jeremy.
What is a Karen girl
Ka-ren is a group of people that lives in Burma and Thailand. It's my ethnicity.
+Darius Evans Karen for refugee Thailand
if you didn't get a little emotional you have no soil
You have no soil either.
Preston Terwilliger I somehow didn't cry to this but I do to video games
My body makes no sense.
Preston Terwilliger i wish i had soil
This is awesome. I just discovered his channel while looking for basketball clips, and I think videos like these speak to me more than his basketball skills does.
I cried. This was an amazing video. One of the best videos I've ever seen in my life. It spoke to me.
i know that grown ass man in the back was not laughing bruh..Look at 1:35 you will see him.
When they laughed at 1:35, I wanted to scream at them to shut up.
Woah bro ur cool
Thanks. XP
YOU GOT A HEART!!! I LIKE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ALREADY!!
Wait what? I'm a girl, by the way...
Karen from refugee we lost for war Burmese army
I'm tearing up watching this! reminds me of the past
This video made me cry.
It remind me of my first day of school in USA from Burma.
I didn't know how to speak English.
All I know was Hi, Hello and bye.
And I was the only Karen student.
I got bullies and other students telling me to go back to my country. It hurts so much and when I get home I cried and don't want to go to school the next day...
But I can't give up because my parents came here for our better education, more freedom and a good future that's why I keep trying hard to get through everyday.
Your a really nice guy.
Also where do you get that Doing good is contagious shirt at the end?
