These new gifts bring our 2008 total to $13,103. Gulp. That still seems a long way from this year’s humble needs of $17,150 for Brigadas every week for 10,000 people. Keep in mind, in many parts of the world, that wouldn’t even pay for the salary of one single elementary schoolteacher, let alone business or ministry expenses. What’s more, that’s *it*. Once we reach $17,150, we apply any additional gift income to 2009 — and we already have determined that the 2009 budget won’t raise a dime. So if there’s someone out there that could do a one-time gift of $4046.75, we’re done for 2008… and any additional gifts that come in would all apply toward 2009. If we reach that goal in January of 2009, mum’s the word about finances for the entire rest of the year! (Nobody would be happier about that than Brigada, believe me!) So how ’bout your church, company, group, or foundation? What about some trust that you might know? Here’s a demonstrated track record of nearly 14 years! (We’ll turn 14 Jan. 25th.) Unfortunately, just 5 days remain in 2008. :-( Can you chip in today? Your gift will help subscribers in lands around the world where there is strong interest in unreached peoples, but little available funds to help with resource ministries such as Brigada. Would you consider asking your church for a one-time gift with any available funds they might have left in contingency giving? Any amount would help.
