3  Points to Ponder

  1. When we connect with like-minded people who believe in us and cheer us on, it sparks a fire within us. How is your fire right now? Does it need a spark from those who believe in you?
  2. Every story is a window into another world, and listening to others’ stories helps us open our own windows wider. How’s your listening been lately?
  3. When the world’s darkness threatens to overwhelm you, seek out people of light. Surround yourself with those who will lift your gaze and help you see a different world. Who have you been seeking lately?

“I love talking to people and hearing their stories. Everyone’s got their own story to tell, and when you sit down with someone and really talk to them, you can learn so much.” – Dan Wells

“When you listen to someone’s story, you’re not just hearing their words. You’re hearing their heart.” – Maya Angelou

1 Story of Impact

This week Friday, it will be the 5th annual Many Hands Impact Breakfast. It was because of the Impact Breakfast that I was able to meet my now good friend, John O’Leary. In 2021, John shared his incredible story with us, of being completely burned at the age of nine and given less than a 1% chance to live. John pulled through because of the love and support of others and now dedicates his life to living inspired. He authors amazing books, speaks at countless events, and hosts an amazing podcast with the cream of the crop people in this world. I am a better person today because my world collided with John O’Leary’s, and his story moved me deeply and changed my life. We never know exactly how or when God will bring that person into our lives, but I can promise you, it will never happen trying to do everything on your own. Or alone. How mindful are you of the environments you choose to spend time in? Are you putting yourself in situations to hear inspiring stories? Or to share yours? This is why we put together the Impact Breakfast, as we challenge what’s possible together to inspire each other to be people of impact. If you can’t join us for breakfast, look to pull a small group of people together who inspire you. You won’t be sorry for that time together.

Tim Brand, Founder & CEO

As the Founder and CEO of Many Hands, Tim Brand leads a global movement dedicated to the belief that transformation happens when people choose to be Love in Action in a broken world. Over the last decade, he has transitioned Many Hands from a grassroots start-up into a high-impact international non-profit with a $9.0 million annual operating budget. Operating across Haiti and The Bahamas, his strategy moves beyond traditional relief. Tim focuses on building the relational and physical infrastructure required for communities to shift from dependency to dignity. Today, these programs touch over 25,000 lives annually. Tim centers his daily work on professionalizing this passion by ensuring radical financial integrity, developing resilient five-year strategic plans, and fostering the exact partnerships necessary to solve complex problems in volatile environments. Under his guidance in 2026, the organization is actively pursuing the audacious goal of delivering over 5 million meals to communities facing catastrophic hunger. Known as a giver and a doer, Tim believes that God uses imperfect people and strategic discipline to bring shalom to chaos. Whether he is leading an Impact trip on the ground, overseeing a multi-million dollar construction project, or developing the Board of Directors, his ultimate mission remains unchanged: to restore what is broken and prove that no place and no person is a lost cause.
