12) If You’re Still Interested In Background Material on Why DMM
We recently featured an article by a brother who basically tried to throw cold water on disciple-making movements (DMM) and church-planting movements (CPM) by asking if they were biblical. We’ve decided we’re no longer going to push more traffic his way by even referring to his article by link, however, we did see a thoughtful response by L.D. Waterman at…
So we at least thought we’d mention it here. : )

14) The Last Bit: How to Search for Brigada Content the Easy Way
We know, we know. You’re probably going to say, “Duh — Google.” But hey… it’s a legitimate question. For example, a Brigada participant wrote this past week, saying, “I really enjoy this service that you offer to us missionaries…. [Thanks, by the way! God be praised.] I look forward to the articles each week…. I remembering seeing just recently about the book resilient kids or MK’s or something like that but can’t seem to find the email. We have a potential family coming oversees to live and I would love to get that book into their hands before they come. Would you be able to send that to me again.” Now the truth is, it’s very possible to find this kind of thing using our built-in tools. For example, on the Brigada app on your smart device, just open the app and click the magnifying glass upper right. In this case, you could try, for example, putting in the word, “resilient” in the search box. A nanosecond later, there’s the item for which you were searching. (You haven’t installed the app? Gasp.)
Or head on over to the website at https://brigada.org . There, you can find our index-based search engine on the landing page that uses WordPress magic to give you relevant pages from within the Brigada world — thousands upon thousands of past items are searched instantly all the way back to January, 1995 — even faster than Google could search them (especially since you won’t be searching cat videos on YouTube while you look for resilient MK stuff). What’s more, the Brigada search engine is famous because it’s pre-indexed. And there are never any ads — or anything shady. It’s all internally handled for your specific and purposeful use. To use Brigada’s own custom search, just enter your search term beside the magnifying glass upper right. You don’t even have to click to another page. And the results will be whole posts, the way they originally appeared in Brigada. This is super-helpful if you can remember the post by the picture that was associated with it.
You can still use a Google custom search too. We make it easy for you to search only the Brigada site. Just click “Search” in the top line menu. Now — using Google’s site search, you’ll see ads at the top of every search. Unfortunately, Google no longer allows users to pay a fee to get rid of those ads. But the Google search engine is configured slightly differently, so if you can’t find your item in the built-in ad-free Brigada search, you can at least try the Google site search as a backup.
Hope that helps. And yes — we answered the participant looking for the MK book and asked him to try the site search first. If he hadn’t been successful, we would have searched with him. We love you all!

15) Closing Stuff
1) School in Pristina, Kosova, Needs a Science Teaching Sub
Want to sub teach in Kosova for a couple of months? They’ll pay for your airfare and even give you a stipend for housing and living expenses. Their science teacher had to go back to his homeland due to medical situation. Now they’re in the lurch without a teacher for HS Chemistry, HS Biology and Anatomy and Physiology from October 22 through December 21, the end of the semester. The great thing is full course materials and even tests are already prepared. This would be a great way to get to Kosova to share your heart for Jesus. (This is a high school in which you could do that.) If we recall correctly, all classes are taught in English. To ask for more information (and see if the spot has been filled), contact John or Ruth at
rmchesnut@yahoo.com
2) Education as a platform
Chiang Rai International Christian School is looking for teachers for the 2019-2020 school year. CRICS is a strategic school located in northern Thailand with close access to neighboring countries. It supports missionaries reaching locals and those nearby. The mission is to share Jesus with the local students and the MK students attending CRICS.
