3) Mama Shekinah Now Available in 8 Languages —

brigtoday — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:57:22 +0000

Mama Shekinah is a powerful documentary of love, trauma, and forgiveness. Sixty minutes long and shot in HD, it tells the story of Hedwig, hell deep in spiritual perfectionism, and Colin, hell deep in drugs, pimping and perversion. They are healed, fall in love, marry, and are attacked by children from the Lord’s Resistance Army in Sudan. Colin is killed, and Hedi returns to express forgiveness and live with former child soldiers. This stunning story is now available in Farsi, Romanian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Kisyarwanda, Indonesian, and English.

(Thanks to Fawn for the tip, even though she does indeed give away the end of the movie! :-) Also, she gave away $25 to Brigada for publishing this! That’s the *only* way I could justify this plot-spoiler. :-) )

12) The BackPage: Christina Made This Video; What Will We do? –

brigtoday — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:48:22 +0000

Regardless of how one feels about today’s generation of young people, one has to admire the fact that there are still individuals willing to get involved. Christina and David did that. A student at Asbury University, Christina heard about a woman in Pakistan who was apparently imprisoned for her faith in Jesus. Christina asked her brother, who was studying filmmaking, to help her make a video. See the result at…

As the video reports, there’s a petition you can sign at…

http://www.CallForMercy.com

(By the way, I wrote VOM to ask if they intended to market petition-signers in any way. They responded that petition-signers are given the opportunity to sign up for VOM’s newsletter. They didn’t specifically promise *not* to email signers again, but they did say they wouldn’t sell or give away the contact information to anyone else.)

The lady in question is apparently still being held. Read updates on her life at…

Join me in praying tonight for this accused woman. Pray for her release from captivity and for safety for her family and anyone who should end up helping her.

5) Effective Video: “180″ –

brigtoday — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:55:07 +0000

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

http://www.180movie.com/

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

4) Looking for a way to send Video-email? –

brigtoday — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 03:56:00 +0000

I was, believe it or not, because of a very special follow-up program we have going on here at Team Expansion. That was when I stumbled on…

http://www.mailvu.com

Now the good news is — there’s nothing to pay (ever). So this won’t cost you a single peso. But the other good news is — it works! There’s nothing to install (so you don’t pick up any spyware or malware of any kind). In fact, you don’t even have to install a plug-in (although the company has written one for Google’s Chrome browser, which is, interestingly enough, what I started using just 2 weeks ago). Likewise, your recipient doesn’t have to pay anything — and there’s nothing to install on the receiving end either. So it’s extremely low footprint, but extremely high touch. Basically, it’s better if you try it for 30 seconds. Then click “Get link,” then send the link to your favorite friend, supporter, relative, or — alternatively — to your enemy. No matter what you’re communicating to whom, it’ll always be just a tad better with some free video to go along with it. (You can record up to a 10-minute message for free — as many times, and to as many people as you like. Think Skype voicemail, without the cost and without the executable.)

5) Voicethread.com: Finally a free app to share your story –

brigtoday — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 03:55:26 +0000

There are a couple of sites on the internet that have attempted to provide a means of telling your story via pictures and voice. Few have gained traction. Brigada participant, Phil, recently tipped us off to one which might be the game-changer. (Thanks Phil!) Check it out at…

http://www.voicethread.com

It’s fast, responsive, and easy — and best of all, it’s free. You can tell your story with uploaded videos, webcam captures, voice memos via microphone, and even telephone. There are, of course, some limitations to the free account. You’ll be limited to just 3 Voicethreads, 30 minutes of video commenting, and a storage ceiling of 75MB with a filesize limit of 25MB. However, free is free. :-) Besides, the “pro” account gives you unlimited Voicethreads, unlimited video commenting, 10GB of storage and a 100MB filesize limit — and it costs just 59.95/year. Setting up an account is easy and doesn’t require verification. You’ll have your first online presentation in no time. You can even end your slide program with a sunset! :-)

Give us your best shot: What’s the best video you’ve seen to stir hearts and minds toward mission? For example, here’s a YouTube link that will lead you to MUP’s video, “Unreached: Did you know?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f27IfBpAow

It’s fast-paced, with hundreds of images from among the actual unreached. Hats off to MUP for publishing it. What about you? What’s your favorite? (Click “Comment” below this item on the Brigada website and list your link, source, or sighting. And thanks to Betty, Team Expansion’s VP of Prayer, Ops, and Personnel, for reminding us of this MUPs video.)

2) With All the Instability this Spring, Need Video Security? –

brigtoday — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:58:27 +0000

Now you can order it — affordably. Just visit…

https://www.dropcam.com/

Check out the Dropcam basic (no audio) for $199 and the Dropcam Echo, with audio, for $279. Both are relatively easy to install. You won’t need an I.T. degree or even a book. All you’ll need is access to your wifi router. (If you don’t have one, then yes — you might need some help setting one up.) Highly recommended.

5) MissionMakr.com is Intent on Making Your Mission Easier –

brigtoday — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:55:05 +0000

If there was ever a doubt, check out their 4-minute video at…

http://www.missionmakr.com

Their goals? Merely to “Engage the body of Christ, impact people going on short-term trips, and do it in less time, with less effort and less cost.” Watch the video to get the whole story, but in a phrase, they’re trying to make it easier for teams to be effective in short-term mission trips. Check ‘em out if you travel overseas. They’ve recently reduced their price structure, by the way.

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!

12) Mama Shekinah Documentary Available in English –

brigtoday — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 04:48:38 +0000

Mama Shekinah is a phenomenal true story filmed in Sudan, about a missionary couple attacked by child soldiers from the Lord’s Resistance Army. The husband is killed, and the wife who is pregnant at the time of the ambush, eventually returns with her two year old daughter Shekinah, to work with child soldiers in Uganda and Sudan. You can watch the trailer at

http://www.mamashekinah.com

By the way, pray for Sudan this week, as the South votes on whether or not they’d like to separate from the North.

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.
