Happy Thanksgiving...

Posted by Brant Christopher

I know that I have so much to be thankful for.  I really don't need a single holiday to remember...I have reminders of those things everyday in my life.  My beautiful wife and wonderful kids, a loving family who supports what I do and who I do it for, unbelievable friends...My brother from another mother... JT, my road fam...PW, Trick, Stephen, GW, Alan, Josh, Dan, Ross, Bonnie, Pip, Jono...My ladies...Olivia, Becka, Jenn, Amy, Allison, Nikki, Crista, Janice...so many things and people I have been blessed to know.  


The work I am doing with Not For Sale and the crew...Dave, Kique, Mark, Alison, Killian, Laura and everyone at NFS.  I am thankful for the freedom I have that 27 million do not.  I am thankful for the God-given talents I have to be a voice for the voiceless.  I am thankful that this message of freedom resonates with so many and inspires them to join the fight and end slavery forever.  I am thankful that I am standing beside you in this campaign and couldn't be more in awe of the work you do with little money and even less time!

My FL church family...Mike, Pam, the office girls, the pastors, the entire Church at Viera congregation.  I never thought I would be this involved with a church again.  Here I sit...amazed at the work God has done in me and the hope he has replanted in the idea of "church" in my mind.  

My NH church family...Dale, Dave, Mike, Rachel, the Hamels and everyone at Emmanuel Covenant Church.  It is only because of you all that I still do what I do.  Your constant support and prayers and unwavering belief in my calling.  It is one of the strongest reminders of why I am so thankful.

It has been 7 years on the road for me.  Almost a quarter of a million miles...never knowing how much is coming in or what bills will be paid...Strangers taking me in to their homes and giving me food and a place to crash as if I was one of their own family members...HUGE highs followed by HUGE lows...Great opportunities that turn to absolute crap...and moments that seemed like a waste which turn out to be God in the details.  As much success and as much heartache as I have experienced...I hope that every single person that has walked a few steps or a few miles with me on this journey hears my heart when I say...

Thank you.
