On March 6th, Brigada is sponsoring a day-retreat at Emerald Hills in Louisville, Kentucky. The focus? How to become a guardian for the planet. Study under master eco-missiologist, Ed Brown, Director of Care of Creation and author of, “Our Father’s World.” He helped create one of the first ‘environmental missions’ organizations with a goal of mobilizing the Church toward a God-centered response to the environmental crisis. He has written, “One of the things creation does is reveal the Creator (‘…since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made…’ Romans 1:20), and we are foolish indeed to ignore such a powerful evangelistic tool.” So it doesn’t matter whether you work in Bangladesh or Burma, Bhutan or Brazil, Belgium or Brownstown, living on the planet is, at least for now, one thing we all have in common. Find out how to make good use of that factor as a platform for evangelism and missions. All the while, you’ll be expressing your love for God by healing and restoring his damaged creation. Ed Brown believes that “helping people live in a way that will preserve their farmland or allow them to drink pure water is as much an expression of love as treating a sick child or helping rebuild a house destroyed by a hurricane.” Learn more about Ed’s organization, Care of Creation, at…
