brigtoday — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:55:18 +0000

Let’s create a “hall of fame” list of the best YouTube or Vimeo-type videos focusing on ….

-the power of prayer

-the big picture on Unreached People Groups

-introducing Islam

-church multiplication/planting movements

We’re hoping the answers to these questions will help *all* of us as we seek to mobilize, pray, and place workers. To add your “best of the best” videos to the list, just find this item on the web (if you’re reading via email, just use the link below), then add a comment with a URL. Don’t worry if your comment doesn’t show up immediately. Our spam engine automatically defers comments with more than one URL included. So we’ll have to glance at them and “approve” them,… but check back and, within a day or two, you’ll see your item listed. Thanks in advance for helping us find the best of the best !!!

12) We’re Grateful… –

Thanks to those who give to make Brigada happen! For example, one of the forces behind Pray4Tunisia recently sent a gift of $150, along with this note: “Thanks so much for helping us launch Pray4Tunisia. You helped connect us with the body of Christ. By God’s grace, nearly 20,000 intercessors are now pleading with God for the launching of a church multiplication movement in Tunisia! And this is only the first year!” The group has successfully used such sites as…

http://www.Facebook.com/Pray4Tunisia

and

http://www.Pray4Tunisia.com

God be praised. Imagine 20,000 people rallying together to pray daily about *anything*, let alone a meaningful missions venture! It’s a dream come true.

Thanks to Bellevue Baptist ($100) and Partners International ($150). Maybe the latter gift came from a specific worker who wanted to bless Brigada personally, and the gift came through Partners’ office. Regardless, we’re humbled, sobered, encouraged, and inspired to keep working. Bless you!!!

In addition to the above, we also received $20 from a Brigada fan out in the state of Illinois. When asked if she wanted to feature anything in particular, she responded, “Nope, just thanks for helping missionaries by getting the resource information out there!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) How Does one Leverage Missional News items? –

brigtoday — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:59:04 +0000

Suppose an effective missional site is featured in a major print publication. Is there a way to relay or syndicate favorable press in the Christian world? …something like an “AP” newswire? For example, Pray4Tunisia has recently grown from a few dozen prayer partners to over 15,000 daily, engaged participants. They were recently featured in articles such as …

http://christianstandard.com/2011/12/tunisia-an-unprecedented-opportunity-for-the-gospel/

and

http://christianstandard.com/2011/12/praying-for-tunisia-as-never-before/

So … how could the service’s organizers leverage these favorable mentions among other Christian magazines, ministries, TV channels, etc.? Is there a Christian “AP”?

5) Just 2 months until Ramadan (August 1-30) –

brigtoday — Mon, 23 May 2011 03:55:12 +0000

Why not make the most of Ramadan this year by praying for the Muslim world. There are many Christian workers now living in that part of the world. Many shoulder heavy burdens, attacks, stress, sickness, family problems. But they press on, with your prayers and love. This year, why not seize the moment. You can pray for Muslims the world over, as well as those seeking to reach them with the love of Jesus, whether they be Spanish, Russian, or Australian. Ask for sufficient funds to meet their needs. Stop by

http://www.30-days.net

where you’ll find promotional materials, downloads, booklets, and more. Make *this* a memorable Ramadan for the entire Muslim World.

12) The BackPage: How Can we Start Prayer Networks? –

brigtoday — Mon, 09 May 2011 03:48:11 +0000

Lately, I’ve watched with earnest interest as a friend of mine has launched a fairly successful prayer network for a land beset by topsy-turvy governmental changes. So, you see, in the midst of a roller-coaster swirl of emotions and hearache, he captures a meaningful moment to forge global gatherings of praying saints. I love it. In fact, while others complain, fret, or stew, he’s redeeming the time to recruit prayer partners for the network he serves. *Most* recently, he started documenting some of his steps, in hopes that he might replicate the idea in others. You can read all about his proposals, practices, and prayers by navigating to…

http://hubpages.com/hub/how_to_start_a_prayer_network

Or, you can start the discussion here, if you’d rather. Just click “Comment” below to leave a question or a recommendation. And thanks in advance for any input you can give! Either way, your input won’t be forgotten. In fact, the word on the street is that JoshuaProject.net is going to take the hubpages document (and comments) and work them up into a guide to help Unreached People Groups and cities. They’re also going to help pray’ers identify and connect with existing prayer partnerships like Pray4Tunisia, the one described in the hubpages doc! Cool results!!!
