Brigada – 2024-03-31

It was established in 2010 via investments from the likes of the guy who started PayPal and from Richard Branson (Virgin’s founder). It purports to transfer funds in about 30 currencies so far. If you happen to live in Turkey or any one of the other lands, it just might be the cheapest way to transfer $1000 from one point to another. Our question today is — have you used it? And did it work for you? In the online peer reviews we checked, the only downsides we could find came from disenchanted souls who were mad because the service hadn’t come to their country yet. And frankly, we can see their point. If you’ve used them, please click “comment” following the web version of this item.

to the great friend from Mission Network who sent $100 this past month. His dream is that 13 other Brigada participants would sign up to do what he does: Sends $100/month from his tithe to help reach unreached peoples for Jesus Christ through Brigada’s global network of encouragement, resources, motivation and communication. That’s all it would take — 13 other people to set up a recurring donation of $100/month. So, Mission Network, here’s a big thank-you for your partnership AND for your vision.

Thanks, too, for the great “True Brigada” fans in Smithtown, NY who sent $100 this past week. We appreciate you!

Want to join them? Just 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 through Team Expansion is tax-deductible.) If you’d rather give online, just click “Donate” in the upper right corner at Brigada.org. And, in advance, could we say THANK you for your partnership.

David Garrison is the real deal. In this talk at Finishing the Task, he chronicles the history of “movements” — from Pentecost to the Present. Yes, he’s mainly describing movements made up of Muslims deciding to follow Jesus as their Lord, but the ramifications — and potential — are similar, in my opinion, for all major world religions, if we pray enough, plan enough, and invest enough energy.

So we encourage you to watch this talk all the way through. Then pray hard for the workers you and your church support. Pray hard for the team of workers with which you serve. And ask God to work a mighty work among unengaged and unreached peoples throughout the globe.
