Who *is* this guy? I’ve got to admit: He would make *me* think too.

It’s worth the 30 minutes to see the change in the people with whom he’s speaking. Wow.

1) New Crank-up radio Can even Recharge your Cell —

brigtoday — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:59:14 +0000

The gizmo-lovers among us will probably enjoy a visit to Eton Corp’s web page…

http://www.shopetoncorp.com

Check out the Rover, which combines an LED flashlight with a radio that has AM, FM and weather bands. If the power runs low, pop out the hand crank (or have your 12-year-old do so for you :-) ) and start whirring. One minute later, you’ll be good to go for another 15 minutes or more. What’s more, you can use a USB charger in place of the 12-year-old (if you’re fresh out). What’s more, you can also *charge* anything that runs on a USB plug, including a cell phone. As one reviewer observed, if the electric stays out for more than a few hours, these days, you’re going to want to tell all your Facebook friends anyway. :-) The Rover will set you back about $50, but it might be the last flashlight you’ll ever have to buy, at least for power-loss-emergencies. :-)

They will help you discover how you can be involved through learning with intention, prayer, going cross-culturally as messengers of the gospel, sending (which includes giving), welcoming internationals around you and even mobilizing others for all of these strategic roles.

2) Print Your Book in India —

brigtoday — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 03:58:28 +0000

New Life Printers will print your book at a good cost savings. For example, two thousand copies of a 100 page book is .88 cents a copy. Shipping is extra but it can still be a good deal. For example, to ship the two thousand copies to the port of New York would add another .15 cents a copy. A portion of profits are used to support the New Life Mercy Home in Delhi. Contact: Scott

5) Mobile Ministry Strategy Network Formed —

Editor — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:51:17 +0000

The first-ever “Mobile Ministry Forum” assembled 16 mission strategists representing 15 organizations for two days in early December 2010 to focus exclusively on the mobile platform’s potential role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Outcomes included plans to develop a mobile ministry training curriculum, establish a global “mobile practitioner” community and expand an existing database of mobile research.

9) “The Waiting World,” = the Best New Missions DVD –

Editor — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:47:36 +0000

See if you agree: This DVD on the 10/40 Window and the major world religions are destined to become best sellers. I just hope they don’t sell out too soon. Just to get Israel Houghton’s “We Speak To Nations” would be well worth the $12.95. Shew. At that price, this DVD is a steal. Best thing since those Urbana videos from the turn of the new century. Finally, they’re refreshed. Yes!

4) “The Waiting World, Special Edition” —

brigtoday — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 04:56:20 +0000

The producers of the prayer video series, “The Waiting Word” have just completed a new edition, and are making it available to readers of Brigada Today. This edition of the series contains six 7-9 minute videos showcasing the 10/40 Window, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Animism/Tribalism. There is also a bonus music video set to Israel Houghton’s song, “We Speak to Nations”. The music video would be a good introduction for a missions seminar or presentation, while the prayer videos for each of the major religions of the 10/40 Window could be used to introduce a time of prayer for that religion or a people group of that faith. The 10/40 Window video gives a basic understanding of the 10/40 Window along with an explanation of why it is important. As a special discount, readers of Brigada Today can email the producers at

($12.95 USD) or $10.95USD plus S&H.

2) Save that Favorite DVD to your Hard Drive for the Road –

brigtoday — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 04:58:09 +0000

Tired of lugging around that favorite DVD? Got a netbook with no DVD slot? You’re in luck. Our regular Brigada correspondent from North Africa recommends a virtual drive. The good news is — not only is it cool, it’s also free. Find it at…

http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

Use it to play ISO files on your computer. You’ll use up less battery on the road and you won’t have to juggle those little platters. Our guy has years of experience with it and there’s not a speck of malware in it. It’s just a plain, pure, cool tool.

You’ll want this resource. Check it out at…

http://www.gmi.org/products/operation-world/operation-world-dvd/

Author Jason Mandryk told us about this at Lausanne III in a special reception on Monday night. One of the CD/DVD developers was there and it sounded as if this would be the resource to beat. It will contain A fully searchable PDF of the Operation World book in color, extended info on each country, and lots of multi-media content — including a Powerpoint about each and every country in the world! You’ll also get extended rights to reproduce the content for your school or ministry, along with additional maps, charts, and data tables not in the printed book. Here’s a chart to see which version comes with what resource:
