We’re thankful that a friend from Wycliffe sent $50 this past week. He enclosed a note: “I’ve been receiving Brigada since… gee, I’m not sure; at least 15 years, and have discovered and shared with others many little nuggets from it over the years. Thanks for the work you do to keep missionaries and those interested in missions informed and equipped. I help assign, equip and prepare new missionaries for Bible-less peoples. No need to mention my name but your updates are invaluable not only for my work with Wycliffe but for my church in our missions ministry as well. Thanks.” If you have benefited during the past year, or if you’d like to spur Brigada on so that perhaps you can benefit during 2012 — or if you’d like to cover the cost for someone who cannot do so himself or herself, literally only a couple of days remain. Our goal for 2011 is $17,120. So far, 15,126.92 has come in. That leaves only $2192.39 to go — and there are just a couple of days remaining in 2011. 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.) Or, if you prefer, just send an old-fashioned check, 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!
