Send a missions team to Kenya

Hey party people!

As you may know, I am a filmmaker. My desire is to capture incredible stories from around the world and bring them back home to inspie people. Many of you supported my trip to Cambodia in July of '06. Here is a link to the trailer and another one to some of the photos I shot while I was there. Take a look - the team and I are pretty proud of the work we captured.

Well... I'm at it again. This time its a new continent with new faces and new stories to tell.

I am stoked to fill you in on my next big adventure. I'm going on an AIDS relief trip to Kenya in Africa in a couple weeks. This will be a two week trip where I'll be spending most of my time working in a massive slum called Kibera just outside of Nairobi. It's the world's largest slum with over 1 million people living there. It's also in the film "The Constant Gardener."

I'll be directly involved in working with AIDS affected orphans and widows. I will also be filming a "video diary" and pretty much whatever else comes my way.  I will be bringing back footage of the devastation as well as the hope that is going on there. 

bottom line - I need 3 things from YOU:

1) LOTS of prayer. LOTS, people. I'm not kidding. this is pro football, here, and I need my starting lineup...and coach... and fans. basically, I'm just the ball.

2) $10 (or more... you know, whatever) of your hard earned cash dropped into our team's paypal account (see PAYPAL ink below). and last but not least...

3) fwd this to your friends. $10 x 210 people = brandon gets on the plane to KENYA!! Think of it as giving up a latte or two for African  AIDS Orphans. There now, doesn't that make it all worthwile? Yeah, i know. Just call me Sally Struthers.

By the way, I'm heading over with a team of ten people from Ecclesia, a church in Hollywood and we are partnering with Global Action.  Check out our team website at www.kenyateam2007.com. Be sure and watch the video to see some of the work we've already done.

My full trip cost is $3100 - turns out plane tickets to Nairobi are expensive!! I've already raised the first third but I'm still in need of $2000 and I only have TWO weeks to raise it. ...nobody ever accused me of being consistently early. Besides, I do my best work on a deadline. Congratulations! You get to be part of a money-raising miracle!

The donation is tax deductible. I've included the snail mail address as well as an electronic payment option - just click the PAYPAL link below. (Very easy and secure.)

Thank you so much for your prayers and generosity! This is going to be a life-changing trip. I can't wait to tell (and show!!) you the stories when I get back.  Thanks for joining in the adventure with me! I'll keep you updated as the trip gets closer.


God Bless!

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...

Royal Family Kid's Camp

For the last week of August, I spent 5 days tending to foster kids at camp organized by Lake Avenue Church and Royal Family Kids Camp . Our entire mission that week was to be the positive, encouraging memories for children enduring childhoods of questionably dark times filled with unknown forms of abuse. I couldn't tell just by interacting with them what they were dealing with in the other 51 weeks of their year, but I do know that when these campers come back next year, they will remember specific conversations they had with us counselors. My primary job was looking after one particular child, “D-man”. Connecting with D-man was new for me. I'm not a parent. I have no pets, not even plants to care for. Being consumed with thinking about another living being for a week straight was completely new to me. D-man is ADD and required the extra herding that comes with not hearing people when they are calling your name. He's quite the "ladies man" a...
