  1. WOULD YOU, YOUR CHURCH OR YOUR BUSINESS CONSIDER A SPONSORSHIP? -- If you or your church would consider even a small sponsorship of $30 or more, we'd be *so* much farther along toward our goal of paying our Brigada-sponsored secretary. If you can help, just click "sponsor" in the top menu (to use PayPal or a credit card), or just send a check payable to Team Expansion to: Team Expansion (Brigada secretary), 11327 Jefferson Trace Blvd., Louisville, KY 40291. Thanks! As always, be sure to let us know if you'd like us to promote any particular service or ministry, or if you'd prefer your gift by anonymous.
  2. CREATIVE CHRISTIAN AUDIO ON-LINE -- Audiopot is an initiative of HCJB- UK. It's an on-line library containing over 900 audio items relating to the Christian faith, including award-winning material from the UK's top Christian radio production groups. All this is available free of charge. Designed to challenge a non-Christian audience, the items are short (rarely longer than 3 minutes), creative and thought provoking. If you can use the audio in a church, a classroom or on the radio you can register for free at http://www.audiopot.org or by writing potstirrer@audiopot.org .
  3. ANOTHER SOURCE FOR WHEELS -- Looking to borrow, rent or buy a vehicle for your church or ministry? Thanks to Ken for recommending: http://www.missionarytechteam.org/Vehicles/index.htm Let us know if you like their services!
  4. ONLINE HEALTHCARE FOR OVERSEAS WORKERS -- Medeserve is a UK based charity which offers people working overseas with a charity or church access to trained family doctors for advice and reassurance via the internet. When working or living overseas travel medical insurance will cover the cost of treatment or repatriation in the event of an emergency. However, there may be times when you would like advice or reassurance and in remote areas such a doctor may be unavailable or communication is difficult. In certain circumstances it is also possible for the doctors to obtain advice from a network of specialists.
