How Your Support Is Helping To Change The World

Hey friends and family,

Day 3 of my journey and I am even more tired, if that's possible. But, I have also never been so refreshed or felt so alive. It is amazing how powerfully God sustains you when you are exactly where He wants you...and I have no doubts I am there now.

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you some statistics and stories of how the support you are giving me through both money and prayers is going towards bringing about true life change all over this country and the world.

1. IC supports over 1,000 people regularly with finances, education, and job training/employment. Each of those 1,000 has an average family of 7 (!) so that makes over 7,000 people who are affected. In addition, our Schools for Schools program affects more than 8,000 students in Uganda, offering them quality education and more. That is over 15,000 people affected directly!!! That is not even counting the people we will never know about when these people become public officials, teachers, parents, and more.

2. The part that no one talks about though is actually my favorite part. This organization has screened the movie almost 5,400 times. The average attendance of one of those screenings is in the hundreds, so that is over 500,000 young people, here in America, who have experienced our life-changing media. They have been exposed to the truth that there is so much injustics going on in the world around us, but they can do something about it. Some of you who are older may or may not realize that this generation has become more and more politically, socially, and environmentally aware. I truly believe with all of my heart that IC has had a huge part. If each of those 500,000 has 10 friends that they share the message with, that is 5,000,000 young people who realize, through the power of media and storytelling, that they can utilize their passions, love, and creativity to become excited about sacrifice and giving to something bigger than themselves. That excites me beyond comprehension!

I just wanted to let you know briefly some of the ways you are affecting world change. I hope you are proud and I hope this inspires you in some small way to work a little harder today to choose to love and repel the darkness in the world.

Oh, and by the way, do yourself a huge favor and YouTube Kelly Clarkson's new single, "My Life Would Suck Without You". It is the bounciest, most energetic, perfect little pop song I have heard since, well, "Since U Been Gone".

I love and miss you all and if I don't answer a phone call or text, it is because I am in the middle of training and I can't answer during a session. They go all day and all night, but I am doing my best.

With Hope,

Brandon
