The staff here at Invisible Children held a mock screening for us tonight to show us how it will be done when we go on the road and it got me so amped to get out there and start! On one hand, this training/booking/bonding with 50 other people experience is perfect in every way. On the other hand, however, I can't wait to get out there and get a high school/college/church/anywhere pumped and excited for a war going on in a country they have most likely never been to. We will be showing new media that we haven't even seen before, but I have total trust and faith in these filmmakers...which leads me to their media.
If you have ever seen any of Invisible Children's movies or video podcasts, you already know the insane standard of excellence they keep themselves to. And if you haven't...what are you waiting for?!? Go now to invisiblechildren.com. Go to the Media section and watch every video you can. If you have never seen The Rough Cut, GO, or any of the bracelet movies, you are seriously missing out. I would not hesitate to say that purchasing any of them is a completely worthy investment. Besides seeing an amazing, life-changing film, you will also be supporting a cause greater than any I have supported before. It is a cause rooted in love, humility, action, big ideas, creativity, and wise choices. And no, I have not been drinking any kool-aid. I came to these realizations all by myself.
I also want to take a moment and thank anyone who has supported me thus far in any way. I have already experienced major life change here and I know there is immeasurably more to come. If there are any of you who have never actually checked out Invisible Children, I encourage you to do so. It is truly an incredible organization that I am so proud to be a part of. I love and miss you all. I think of you every day when I am tired or need strength, because it is an EXHAUSTING process. Some of the things they ask seem impossible, but you would be surprised what you can accomplish with resolve, hard work, and a bit of favor.
Keep Your Eyes Open,
Brandon

We are very proud of you, Brandon. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send you some support, but I'll be getting a check in the mail to you next week. I wish it could be more. But I can promise you this - I will be praying for you! We look forward to following your adventure. Lots of love, Ian and Kari (Kiki - remember that?):-)
Hey, I watched the videos you suggested and wow..I'm so proud of you for being a part of this. The images in the Rough Cut are rattling. You're in my prayers.
