Brigada

So these greatly-appreciated gifts, $1280 in all, bring our total to $5545.61 for 2010. That’s just $11,574.39 short of our goal for the year. Gulp. Of course, if there were just 11 other churches like the one on the East Coast — it’s doable. Lacking that, we would need about 116 extremely visionary types to [...]

As mentioned above, we’re so grateful to those who have given throughout the year, but, May the Lord strengthen our faith, having received $4245.61 throughout 2010, $12,874 away from our goal of $17,120. So if there’s someone out there who had contemplated giving $10,000 to Brigada in one huge step of encouragement, now would be [...]

Thus far in 2010, friends of Brigada have given $4245.61. God be praised. But that’s way low of our goal, by a factor of [...]

On the one hand, we’re thrilled to be a target. On the other hand, we aren’t that well off financially anyway. A recent denial-of-service attack racked up $352 worth of processing fees on our Authorize.net credit card donation portal. (They didn’t touch the PayPal portal. Remember, if you plan to give via credit card, you [...]

Hats off to Robby, who wrote to commend Brigada: “As a mobilization strategist, Brigada serves me in two critical ways for which I know of no alternative: *** Bringing to my awareness things I wouldn’t have time to discover on my own, and *** Giving me a practical way to let a global audience know [...]

Did you know that approximately 10,000 people see every Brigada edition? Would you be willing to step up to the plate to empower our future? If you’re not positioned to give at this time, would you please pause and pray for Brigada, its family of 10,000 participants, and its future? One idea: What if you [...]

That’s right: did you know there are 10,000 subscribers to Brigada? And to date, since our founding in 1995, we’ve never signed up anyone else. (Every one of those 10,000 subscribed on his or her own.) So your gift is multiplied many times over when you just click on one of the “Donor” links at [...]

Year before last, a friend recommended that we simply endeavor to find 100 friends who would each make a $100 one-time gift to Team Expansion. In a recent edition, we mentioned that a Brigada participant from greater Chicago had set up an “ACH” automated gift to Brigada for $100/month. We also mentioned that if we [...]

This morning, our Authorize.net gateway was hit by a denial of service (DoS) attack. *Hundreds* of fake transactions flooded in. Unfortunately, they were all just designed like vandalism, to bleed server MIPs and cost us needless transaction fees. :-( If you’d like to make a *real* donation (even if it’s to help offset the cost [...]
