Brigada

So with the giving above (that’s $675 all together), plus the $15,126.92 already in hand during 2011, our total for 2011 now stands at $15,801.92. This means we have only $1318.08 to go to reach our 2011 budget need. Whoa — that’s close. I’m on a 10-day trip right now. I’m looking forward to getting [...]

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 [...]

We did it. We went the whole year without asking for anything. Now, in these last few days of 2011, we’d love to put together the funds to kick Brigada up to the next level. We’d love to bring on some help that would allow us not only to get these editions out on time, [...]

“I just sent a $1,000 donation for Brigada Today needs.  I send this because you are a deep thinker about what is needed to complete the Great Commission. The past 14 years living in the Middle East has helped me to see that there are no shortcuts when it comes to disciple making in all [...]

[Here's an excerpt from Dave's note, which just arrived this past week:] “Just sent a contribution for Brigada and wanted to say thanks so much for the incredible amount of work you put into resourcing all of us out here. I don’t think it’s possible to measure the value I receive from all the information [...]

I didn’t set about to start a weekly missions resource email and website. I set about to find answers. The sad thing was — some of the information was out there… we just weren’t getting the news out about it. I started asking evangelical missions leaders how we could fix that. We started sharing resources [...]

That was the question that a good friend of Brigada asked this past week. He wrote, “Jackie and I have learned contentment to the point that ‘gift giving’ has become a challenge. What can we buy or make that doesn’t add unwanted clutter to our home, or calories to our waist? If you face this [...]

Since January, 1995, we’ve operated Brigada Today as a free publication. With over 10,000 subscribers, some have said that Brigada just might be the longest-running, largest-circulating missions ezine on the entire web. Yet, some might not realize that we don’t have a large staff, nor do we sell ads. We feel that to do so [...]

If you’ve ever purchased anything online before, or if you plan to do so in the near future, this just might be the easiest $10 you’ll ever give away. Glance through these steps — and if you’re willing to follow them, shortly after your first online purchase, Brigada will receive $10 in cash, in your [...]

As is our custom, we recognize the fact that some folks might have made out checks on Dec. 31st (at least we hope some someones did). As a result, we’ll report on giving for 2010 in just one more issue — next week’s. We’ll also lump online giving with 2010 as well — for just [...]

There’s just one more week of giving left in 2010. Yikes — we’ve got a ways to go. If you or your church can jump in, please do so today. Approach your church, ask a friend, or pray that God would empower your finances to pitch in directly. Any amount would help, but all we [...]

Thanks to some great friends and partners, $7,247.90 has already been given so far in 2010. Unfortunately, that means we still need to find $9,872.10. Here’s your chance to make a difference. Approach your church, ask a friend, or pray that God would empower your finances to pitch in directly. Any amount would help, but [...]

If you were hoping to help in 2010, here are your last 3 chances (the editions for Dec. 19, Dec. 26, and January 2). God be praised that $5897.90 has come in so far in 2010, leaving just $11,222 to go to reach our goal of $17,120. Gulp. Seems so far in such a short [...]
