So these greatly-appreciated gifts, $1280 in all, bring our total to $5545.61 for 2010. That’s just $11,574.39 short of our goal for the year. Gulp. Of course, if there were just 11 other churches like the one on the East Coast — it’s doable. Lacking that, we would need about 116 extremely visionary types to each kick in $100. Or any combination of the two. The trouble is, we only have 4 more editions of Brigada remaining (12/12 through Jan. 2). That’s an average of 30 “True Fans” of Brigada each week. Even if you don’t have $100, would you know someone who did, who could give in your stead? Would you consider asking your church or group? If so, just click the “Donate” link at the top of the page at brigada.org. You won’t have to register with PayPal if you don’t want to. (Just click “make a payment without logging in” if you prefer.) We can also set up a regular once-a-month automatic withdraw from your checking account or major credit card. Or, if you prefer, just send an old-fashioned check each month, 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.) Thanks to those who have suggested this cause to their local church missions teams. We appreciate you!
