Suppose you're trying to share your faith with an Italian. You wish that there could be some kind of movie or outline in his or her heart language -- Italian, in this case. Where does one go to find resources like that? Is there any one source... like a web-page or a toll-free number where we can all go to find sources for evangelistic material in other languages (not *just* Italian... no *sono* Italiano :-) )? If so, let's publish promote it. If not, someone needs to probably *start* it! :-) If you've got an idea, write me here at <DLucas@TeamExpansion.org> and, if you'd be so kind, put the word "OUTREACH" in upper case in the subject line. Thanks for any lead -- a website, an organization, a toll-free number, even an email address. We'll republish the info here for the world to read.

They say it was here in Brigada that worldchristians.org launched its website not three years ago. Imagine that within the next week they should pass 1,000,000 hits! They had hoped for maybe 5,000 visits in their first year. What's more, they've opened tons of new Schools of Missions, and the news page traffic is unbelievable which reflects the world interest in following the call of Jesus into mission. It's worth a look, if for no other reason than to take note of what's hot...

PLEASE DON'T SUBSCRIBE US TO YOUR LIST -- It's always better to ask before manually force-adding anyone to your list-serve or mailing list. Recently, tons of well-meaning people have been subscribing Doug to their lists. Since he often travels overseas, he doesn't join many of those, for obvious reasons (like being charged big-time for overseas access). So as a general rule, please don't bulk-mail us! See the note above if you'd like to submit items for Brigada Today. Thanks for understanding. Bottom line: We will never create Brigada Today items from bulk mail. Bulk mail gets deleted immediately -- sorry. Nothing personal. We suggest you apply the same standard to everyone. Ask first!
WARNING ABOUT FORWARDING EMAILS -- Please, before forwarding any kind of request (even if it says "please send this to all your friends"), please check to make sure it has a VERIFIABLE ORIGIN, a VERIFIABLE PURPOSE, and a VERIFIABLE CLOSURE (OPC). By following this simple approach, many "email viruses" could be nipped in the bud... at least in the Brigada family. More information about the full Brigada OPC protocol is available. Thank you.
