NEW CONFERENCES
Join us in welcoming Brigada-Russia and
Brigada-projects-louisianamobilizers to the Brigada family of communication
networks. The new Russia conference will create an interface to facilitate the
reaching of the unreached in Russia. It will allow the various networking of
individuals and partners to report, share ideas and pertinent news, offer up
prayer requests, and encourage additional partnerships. Eventually, Dale
Brugler, who serves as moderator, hopes to spawn sub-conferences that would
focus on specific cities and people groups within Russia. The
louisianamobilizers will seek to mobilize Christians and Churches in Louisiana
for Frontier Missions. This conference will allow the various networking
individuals to share ideas on how to help others in Louisiana catch the
"Missions Vision" as well as promote regional conferences, missions workshops,
seminars, etc. Reports on what your churches, missions committees and agencies
are doing are encouraged. Thanks to Nathan Martin for his partnership in this
new venture!!!
DID YOU CATCH THIS ON THE GROWTH IN MOZAMBIQUE?
Following the long civil war,
there is great openness for Christianity in Mozambique. The guards and all 700
prisoners in a jail in the capital, Maputo, watched the film in complete
silence. At the end, as usual, the team asked all those who were interested in
following Jesus to stand up. The response: all 700 prisoners and all the guards!
According to the leader of the Jesus Film Project, the international norm is
that 10% respond, but of the approximately 21,000 who have seen the film in its
first presentations since being translated into the Makhua language spoken in
Mozambique, 40% have responded. Source: Update 2/95 Campus Crusade, USA.
Subject: Revival continues to sweep US campuses
CAMPUS REVIVAL CONTINUES
This note is from National and International
Religion Report (4/17/95). The powerful, national revival that began in
Brownwood, Texas, continues to jolt American college campuses. Thousands more
students as well as some faculty and administrators have participated in public
confession, restitution, and reconciliation. "In 25 years of teaching
I've never seen anything like this," reported church historian John Woodbridge,
a Trinity Evangelical Divinity School professor, remarked. "It is a wonderful
work of the Spirit of God."

Worldwide Web, point your browsers to

to read the actual text from the addresses being delivered here, along with
other interesting items. The Brigada channel is more of a personal perspective
from Doug Lucas; the www pages are compiled by actual AD2000 staff and a group
of volunteers who have been willing to work very hard to help make the
information available internationally.

prayer journey (to pray "on site with insight")? Get
Prayer Journeys: a Leader's How-to Manual from Caleb Project.
If you believe that God desires to

probably already know that prayer journeys are one way to do just that.
A prayer journey will invigorate your faith, deepen your love, and inspire your
hope. Never again will the world look the same. You will know that you are a
part of something so grand, so historical, so biblical, that normal things will
never look the same. Come and join the triumphal procession! For more
