Hats off to Robby, who wrote to commend Brigada:

“As a mobilization strategist, Brigada serves me in two critical ways

for which I know of no alternative:

*** Bringing to my awareness things I wouldn’t have time to discover on

my own, and

*** Giving me a practical way to let a global audience know about

things they might be interested in.”

He went on to add, “Since reading recently that someone had pledged $100/month to support Brigada, I have felt a growing desire and prompting to follow suit. Yesterday I set up an automated monthly $100 gift to reach you in the early part of each month. Since this comes out of the same missionary support my family lives on, this is not a light decision on my part.” Whoa… Thanks Robby. God bless you! He continued, “In giving in this way I want to express my appreciation and support for the spirit in which you invite donations without requiring them in order to publish items. I am praying that God will stir enough regular donors to eliminate your need to include a financial appeal in each issue of Brigada, and hoping that my example may encourage others to follow suit.”

It’s true.

So that’s 2 out of 15 people needed. If we had but 13 other partners that would be willing to opt for a $100/gift per month, can you imagine the peaceful silence you’d hear in each Brigada? Think of all the extra material you could squeeze in because we wouldn’t ever mention dollars and cents! So — to confirm, our goal for each calendar year (for the past few years) is just $17,120, which is roughly equivalent to 15 people or churches giving $100/month. Please consider taking Robby up on his challenge. Would you be one of the other 13???

Either way, thanks to Robby… and thanks to any who might pick up the baton on his challenge!
