budgetpuzzleWe’re so grateful that already during 2009, our friends and partners have given $4,537.19 to fuel the Brigada fire. These funds go directly toward the cause of helping us get the word out about unreached people. They propel Brigada out the door and onto your screen. And in addition, this year, they enable us to help establish a missions nerve center at Emerald Hills in Louisville, Kentucky. It is on that missions nerve center, much like the one Ralph Winter established in Pasadena in the late 1970s, that Brigada is based.

Our budget for 2009 is exactly the same as 2008, 2007, and 2006. For each of the past years, without asking for any ‘raise’, we have sought $17,200. Last year, thanks to many great partners, we made that budget. Would you help us reach that goal again in 2009? To make that happen, 126 “True Friends” of Brigada could step up to the plate and pitch in $100 each. If you’re unable to pitch in $100, obviously, any size gift would be greatly appreciated. Just click on one of the “Donor” links at the top of this page. Both are safe, the one with PayPal and the other with one of the most well-known “real” online merchants on the web. Neither requires you to open an account with anyone … and neither ever spams you. We can even set up a regular once-a-month automatic withdraw from your checking account or major credit card. Set it up once and rest easily, knowing that you’re regularly helping get Brigada on the way to the nations. 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.) A gift of any size would help, whether monthly or one-time. If you know someone else who might like to help, just hit reply and tell us about him/her/them. Thank you for your help in fueling the fire of Brigada!
