Tonight we’re thankful for an anonymous friend in the Chicago area who seems to have set up a regular ACH bank transfer to Brigada for $100/month. Do you realize — if just 14 other churches, groups, agencies or individuals would make that same commitment on an annual basis… ($100/month), we would never ever mention finances [...]
