brigtoday — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:51:34 +0000

For seven years, scores of missionaries from every continent (including many Brigada readers) have received housing, encouragement, and God’s love at this Southern California hospitality center. The directors are moving to North Texas where they will be developing a new Hospitality Center in the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) area. The facilities of Rancho de la Paz, in southwest Riverside County, California, are being sold. The directors are hoping someone with a similar love for missionaries will buy the facility (10 bedrooms/6 bathrooms in three houses on 4 1/2 acres) and continue the faith-based ministry to those passing through Southern California. Anyone interested can contact them at ranchoacross2ucom , or on the web at

International Alliance for Missions, Inc. is holding its third HSP-M2M Event this summer and you are invited to apply for this time of refreshing and relaxation. This is not a retreat during which you are expected to attend workshops, participate in discussions, etc. They call this an Event because you are able to spend quality time with the Lord in that secret place that you’ve sought after before but perhaps just couldn’t find. The dates are August 20th – August 25th, 2011 and the place is the Oceanview Hotel, Rocky Harbor, Newfoundland, Canada, located in Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its spectacular views of mountain ranges. See the full explanation and all registration details at…

Team Expansion’s Prayer Coordinator learned more about leading prayer days and retreats when she attended a recent conference led by Dr. Evelyn Davis, Training Consultant for SIL International (partner with Wycliffe Bible Translators). Betty came home with the confidence and material to lead prayers days and retreats on numerous prayer and reflection topics.
