matchinggiftYes, your eyes are working correctly. That’s Two Thousand Fifty-four dollars. For every $100 gift received for Brigada between now and Dec. 15th, Brigada will receive a matching $100 gift from an international church in the Middle East in celebration of the Missional International Church Network Annual Conference. And by the way, the next annual gathering for the MICN will be in April. Believe me — we’ll be celebrating that gathering along with them… but for today, our hat goes off to that congregation in the Middle East, willing to step up to the plate to help Brigada get these resources out the door and onto your screen. At the same time, we can’t really say thanks yet, because we’ll need the equivalent of 21 “True Friends” of Brigada before the full grant is awarded. It’s zany to thing that if no one else gave for the rest of 2009, we’d lose the chance at being able to receive over $2000! Please, … if God can empower and enable you… please prayerfully consider chipping in. To learn how, see the item, “Just 7 Brigadas left in 2009,” below.
