14) The Last Bit: PrayerCast’s Daily Videos Are Award-Winning
Well, it’s official. Brigada has to come up with a new award — and the people behind Prayercast (including OneWay, a family of media and missions ministries based in Napierville, IL, including its Founder and Executive Director, Michael Thompson, and Darrow, as well) have to win it. Their vision is “To see multitudes come to a saving faith in Christ as His people joyfully engage in reaching them,” and, we have to say, in our opinion, there is no doubt they are contributing greatly to that end. Their mission is “To activate people to exalt Jesus Christ and advance His gospel to the multitudes.” All you have to do is watch just ONE of their videos and we think you’ll be convinced. And during this Ramadan, they’ve worked hard to prepare the most amazing prayers, combined with fantastic original music sound tracks, overlaid by out-of-this-world video footage (who knows how they obtained or created all this). Please — just watch one with us. Here’s one about Muslim men:
The crazy thing is — they create and give away all their content (when do these people ever make any money?), and it’s better, actually, than anything we could buy anyway. When we watch these videos, we aren’t just prompted to pray. We are *drawn* into praying. What if all 7500 of us bow right now, giving thanks for their work? What if we all join together to pray that God would bless *them* so they can bless others. We can’t *afford* to lose Prayercast. But we pray that will never happen — that God will bless them and multiply their efforts (and their resources) many times over. Learn more at…
We noted that there is a “Donate” button upper right — and we decided to make a donation today in light of their quality work. We only wish it could have been more than it was. We encourage others to consider doing the same.

3) In Our Ongoing Quest for the Perfect Task Manager… Clickup? : )
Well, Todoist was fun while it lasted. (laughing) Today we’re considering Clickup…
We’ve turned toward Clickup because it has custom fields, lets us rearrange the prioritization of a list manually through drag-and-drop, allows task dependencies, offers true Gantt chart views and insane hierarchies, and there are versions for everything — even Linux! Of course, sadness — it doesn’t have a true offline version yet (even the iPhone version isn’t really TRULY offline, although it will at least allow a person to create a task offline). But the GREAT news is — they’re evidently super-close to releasing this capability in an even more revved-up version 2.0 — VERY soon. There are zillions of integrations, it looks like it adapts well to teams OR individuals, and did we mention — it has custom fields… an unlimited number!! You better try this today. And no — it’s not related to buying groceries through the web at Kroger. : )
4) Ever Wonder, "What is the Missio Nexus Mission Leaders Conference?"
Well now you can hear it straight from the horses’ mouths — in a new little power-packed video at…
missionexus.org/future-mission/future-mission-networking/
Hear from dozens of mission leaders expressing their heartfelt opinions about why THEY turn to the Mission Leaders Conference each fall to learn the latest about personnel issues, financial tracking (including reports directly from leaders at the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability or ECFA), a CEOs’ track and much more. Plus – the food is delicious. : ) It happens Sept. 19-21. Sign up today or you’ll miss out.
5) Don’t Forget: Starting May 5th, 130 New PrayMuslims Videos!
Remember — The folks at PrayerCast are asking you to take part in the most comprehensive and compelling Muslim-focused prayer resource the world has ever seen. Over the month of Ramadan, they plan to release over 130 new 4-5 minute videos, all designed to lead the Body of Christ in focused, strategic, passionate prayer for the Muslim world. Each video is led by a former Muslim who now follows Jesus! They’re rallying the Church around the world to join them in prayer each day during Ramadan. Take a look…
