8) Is Protonmail the New App to Beat for Secure Communication?
They’ve recently released desktop integration, meaning that you don’t have to use their web page any more. Now you can send and receive encrypted Protonmail directly from within Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple email. Maybe in the “old days,” Hushmail might have been the standard. But today, maybe Protonmail should be.
We’d appreciate it if you commented about your experiences so our entire community can hear how you like this relative newcomer to cross-cultural work.

13) We’re Grateful for…
…the $200 worth of help from Asbury United Methodist Church, Tulsa, OK. Thanks Jim!
…the $10 gift a long-time friend of Brigada.
…the $50 donation from long-time friends in Dillsburg, PA. Please mail a receipt. Already support Team Expansion friends.
…the $150 from great friends working among Muslims in Southern Europe. We don’t deserve their friendship — but we’re so thankful for it.
These great friends take our annual total to $9810.33, with just $8724.67 to go to reach our annual budget. Could you or your church pitch in $100 or $1000 or $8724.67 toward the rest? If so, please just click “Donate” at www.brigada.org, or mail a check payable to Team Expansion (Brigada), 13711 Willow Reed Drive, Louisville, KY 40299. Team Expansion is a 501(c)3 incorporation so, for USA citizens, your gift to Christ by writing a check to Team Expansion is tax-deductible. Thank you, in advance, for your partnership!
14) The Last Bit: New Brigada App (iOS and Android): Clean & Quick
Finally, after months of development and testing, Brigada has released apps for both iOS and Android. In keeping with its ad-free web page, the Brigada app is clean, quick, and uncluttered. There are no banners, no flashing images, and no ads whatsoever. Headed overseas for a long flight? No problem. Open the app in the gate area just before departure, then catch up on items while you fly, even with your device in airplane mode (once accessed, all items are available offline). The user experience is just smooth and easy. Searching is blindingly fast. And as with everything Brigada, the app is completely free. Download it today from your regular app store. (Note that because the iOS app is literally brand new, you’ll find it more quickly by searching for “Brigada News” rather than simply “Brigada.” The Android app, which has been available for some time now, pops up first when searching simply “Brigada”.) Learn more about the Android app at…

1) Steep Discounts on the Book, “Stubborn Perseverance”
Stubborn Perseverance may be the only STORY written to help readers learn and adapt CPM principles to their own context, and it carries more than 50 endorsements. For example, David Garrison wrote, “Stubborn Perseverance reveals the inner workings of a CPM and invites readers to launch a movement.” A field team leader in Southeast Asia (initials K.D.) described it this way: “I’ve read Contagious Disciple-Making, Miraculous Movements and Wind in the House of Islam. And I’ve trained in Any-3 and Camel Method (all great!). Stubborn Perseverance distills them [all] into the manual I want for our team.”
During the past two years of continuing refinement, print copies were only available through expensive “on demand” printing. Now production costs are being reduced through a volume printing, making it possible for the first time to offer steep pre-publication discounts of 50% and more ($7.50-$10 off per book), with free shipping to U.S. street addresses. You can get 1-7 books for $7.50/book (a discount off the cover price of $7.50), 10-24 books for $6/book ($9 off per book), and 30+ books for $5/book ($10 off per book). Why would you order multiple copies? Because you could explain your work, spread the vision of church multiplication, help donors engage in your goals, all while:
– giving copies away as appreciation gifts, or
– selling them to fund your ministry (the Amazon price will remain $15). Read ten chapters of the book for free (to get an idea) here:
