"World Vision gave us an opportunity that opened our eyes," says Big Daddy Weave lead singer Mike Weaver. "It impacted us in a way in which we'll never be the same. We made a promise to the little boy in this video that we would tell this story to everybody we could. This video helps us do that in a beautiful and powerful way, and visually shares the overwhelming presence of God that we sing about in "Overwhelmed."

"World Vision is honored to be partnering with Big Daddy Weave," adds Lee Broadwell, World Vision Artist representative for Big Daddy Weave. "This montage of our trip to Tanzania is a refreshing reminder of God's unbound creative beauty and a wonderful time with friends! In a spirit of humility, Big Daddy Weave has helped to change the lives of over 10,000 faces like the ones in this video. World Vision is truly thankful for their dedication to children in need around the world."

Big Daddy Weave has also posted a "making of the video" video at www.bigdaddyweave.com/overwhelmed. Members of Big Daddy Weave are shown in the moments that impacted them most as they tell the story of their journey through Tanzania.
