Think of all the causes you’ve seen which never offer any report about totals. Perhaps they say, “Financial report available upon request.” Brigada is up front with you to let you know exactly where we stand… and where we stand is *extremely* close to our 2008 needs. Remember, if we go *over* our needs, we push that support into 2009, where the budget is pegged to be identical to 2008 (no increase for inflation). With just $1381 remaining to raise, we only need 7 more “True Fan” gifts of $100 each — or any combination that can add up to $700… because we have the promise of matching gifts from the visionary international church in the Middle East. Here’s your chance to push Brigada into the New Year with 2008 wrapped up with a bow. Will you be one of the 7? If so, just click one of the pushbuttons at the right-hand top of the home page… or use the PayPal link on the upper left if you prefer. Remember, even with the PayPal links, you don’t have join PayPal to give through it. Or if you prefer, just send an old-fashioned check payable to Team Expansion to: Team Expansion (Brigada), 13711 Willow Reed Dr., Louisville, KY 40299. (Team Expansion is a 501(c)3 incorporation so for USA citizens, your checks made out to Team Expansion are tax-deductible.) As always, be sure to let us know if you’d like us to promote any particular service or ministry, or if you’d prefer your gift be anonymous. And thank you in advance for helping.
