These people are wild. They seem serious about wanting zillions to
have these books!!! (I just hope they know what they're getting into!
) So -- the least we can do is order them!
You see, for a limited time,
Desiring God Ministries is offering John Piper's book,
Let The Nations Be Glad: The Supremacy Of God In Missions, and his newest
book, A Hunger For God: Desiring God Through Fasting And Prayer to all Brigada subscribers
for $10.00 (shipping included anywhere in the world!). I told you these
people were wild. There's something about that kind of attitude... the one
that says, "shipped anywhere in the world"... that says something very
clearly about their goals. It speaks volumes, in fact. And get this...
they wrote Brigada this week... "And if you can't afford the $10.00, we'll
give them to you for free! We're making these books available as
inexpensively as we can because we want you to get excited with us about
spreading a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of
ALL PEOPLES." Bookstores sell NATIONS for $12.99 and HUNGER for $10.99.
So for $10.00 you can buy $24.00 worth of books (about 60% off!). You won't
find this offer anywhere else! Call DGM toll free (in the USA ... or using
Net2Phone or equivalent) at 1-888-346-4700 to order using Visa, MasterCard
or Discover Card, or send a check to Desiring God Ministries, 720 13th
Ave. So., Minneapolis, MN, 55415. Or, you can e-mail them at
DGMinistry@aol.com or visit their web page at
http://www.desiringgod.org. Remember -- you've got to tell them
you saw the offer on Brigada. This offer is good through September 30,
1997, only. So if you're outside the USA and you have to use air mail,
better get it out the door today!
Did you see last week's
item, "
AD2000 VIDEO, RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT CONTENT, RIGHT TOOLS"??? If so,
you probably thought, "Now how in the world did they capture all those web
sites on video???!!!" You were right.
The product is a CD not a
video. But anyway, that makes it all the better!!!
So . . . how 'bout
reading last week's description again, but this time think about it as a
CD!!! "Have you seen the AD2000 Adoption Guidance Program and Missions
Resource Kit? The price is right... AD2000 is selling them for $5 (for
quantities of 1-4, $4 for quantities of 4-10, $3 for 11-15 and 2$ for 16
and above)! Can't beat that! Get yours from the
Postage is on top of the above costs. Expect $1.10 extra for postage for a single CD. This thing contains the full copy of the videos for Praying Through the Window II and III, as well as Part V of Generation (which is part of a set that sells for like $80!), and tons more. Full content of several web sites (including Brigada, Caleb Project, and AD2000!). This is a great tool for those who don't have live access to the web, but would like to refer to these resources and others. Grab one today!"

(rats is the new acronym for "<R>esource <A>dvocate <T>raining <S>eminar"
-- we just made that up.)
[Hey -- I didn't design the title of this thing; the acronym just...
jumps out at you!
Sorry John.
And stay tuned here to hear about how to get the list later.

Yalta, a Ukrainian port on the Black Sea, is
home to about 1000 Muslim Tatars. Each May 18 they march to commemorate
the calamitous 1944 forced deportation of thousands of Tatars. But this
year a Ukrainian Missionary who is a nephew of two KGB officers serving at
the time of the mass relocation addressed the crowd and asked for their
forgiveness for what had happened. The response has been very positive and
the missionaries have been invited to start Bible discussion groups among
Tatars who were touched by this show of concern for a dark chapter in their
history.

Well, here's the latest new mini-video you can use on Sunday morning to reach deep into the
hearts and souls of your church or small group. And the price is right.
"Kids These Days" is a seven-minute video focusing on the tragic plight of
the world's children. There has been much written lately about the 4/14
window, children between the ages of 4 and 14, who are highly susceptible
to the best and worst in today's world. In too many places, the 4/14
window is dirty, broken, and often seems painted shut. I hope this video
serves as an eye opener, a discussion starter, a motivator-especially for
the youth and young adults in the U.S. who have so much to offer in the
name of Jesus. "Kids These Days" can be ordered for $9.95 (plus $3.00
shipping and handling) from Good News Productions, International by
calling 1-800-457-GNPI (4674). Also included on the tape is the 50-second
"Isaiah 61," a simple call "to be more like Jesus." For more info, email
gnpi@xc.org or fax 417-782-3999.
CSC hopes you do. Christians Sharing Christ (CSC) of Ball, Louisiana, 318-640-4900,
Fishville@aol.com, is a non-denominational mission agency asking you to
consider placing the following ad in the classified ad section of your
local American newspaper:
"16 MM PROJECTORS WANTED! If you have a 16 MM projector at your home, office, or church which is gathering dust and you want them active again winning others to Jesus, then donate your projectors by delivering them to (the name, address and phone number of your local church)."
CSC claims that if you'll agree to spend a few dollars to run this ad for
about a week, it will generate the donation of many projectors to this
ministry. Now... I can't personally verify the accuracy of their theories,
but since I'm a sucker for creativity
I thought it at least important
to let you hear their approach. If you have questions, email them directly
if you're willing to place this ad. CSC has said they would pay for all
shipping costs to Ball, Louisiana. They reportedly have film teams working
in 17 nations around the world right now showing evangelistic films in open
air forums as a way of planting churches in places where there are none.
They say there are many other workers who would like to show films but they
do not have the projectors. So -- if you're interested in this innovative
approach, contact them directly.
