It's Here!!!

I almost can't even believe I'm typing this, but The Rescue will happen in exactly one week! We have found out some new developments concerning The Rescue that are blowing my mind. We are doing our best to get people of cultural influence (moguls) and media to come out to every event. The deal is that we are abducting ourselves to stand in solidarity with these children who are abducted and forced to fight a bloody war. And we are not leaving until we are rescued by a mogul and the media. Bit seriously...we aren't leaving. Sooooo...what if a city does not get rescued? Well, then all of the cities that have been rescued will come and stay with them until they do get rescued. Sounds crazy, right? Well it is. But, these kids deserve it. Basically, as your city is rescued, you will head to the next nearest city and wait with them to be rescued. Everyone that cannot go on this cross-country adventure will stay behind and make phone calls until their ears hurt because we need this to happen.

I am so pumped! Also, some amazing things have happened in the past few days. In Minnesota, I got the van stuck in the mud. And I mean, really stuck. We tried over and over again to get it out but it just went in deeper. Eventually, the landlord of the property came outside. Upon seeing his mangled backyard, he laughed and said this was kinda funny when you thought about it. Then, he hooked a chain between his SUV and our van and pulled us out. He wasn't even mad. I was blown away. I do not deserve that kind of grace.

We also celebrated Easter as a family. I mean my team of course. We are a little dysfunctional family, but I love them all. The Easter Bunny came and left us baskets all the way in Minnesota. We are leaving Iowa right now and it was a short, but really effective trip. These people that we meet are so amazing and I am constantly shocked by how much they give towards this cause without receiving any glory or recognition.

I'm really experiencing so much right now. Emotionally and physically and mentally and spiritually. All that we have worked towards will be over in a little past a week. I guess it won't ever really be over, because hopefully, the impact will be long-lasting, but it is strange to think that life will go on after this. I know that it will though. For one of very few times in my life, I am confident that I am exactly where God wants me to be and that I am about to be a small part of something that will bring major change to the world. I definitely don't deserve that, but I am so grateful.

Please, if you haven't yet, check out the website and sign yourself up for The Rescue. We want to set these children free and let them know that help is coming. You can be part of that help. You can be a part of something bigger than yourself. You can change the world. Will you please join me? If I may quote the honorable Zac Efron, "We're all in this together."

With Hope,
Brandon
