1) Invest in Brigada and Fuel the Fire of the Great Commission
In a day and age when Barna reports that church members are forgetting the Great Commission’s meaning, Brigada offers a fresh new angle on missions motivation, resources, information, and trends. When you invest in its future, you are making a difference for the entire missionary enterprise. You’ll be able to feel good about multiplying your gift, regardless of its size – because Brigada impacts literally hundreds of organizations and churches worldwide. You’ll create impact over and over again, because each Brigada is archived and available for posterity. Your gift will echo into the future for years to come. And what other cause refuses to accept too much money? Brigada only seeks its exact operating budget and not a dollar more. Approximately half Brigada’s participating audience mobilize from other parts of the world where money is scarce. Your gift activates their mobilization too – even though they wouldn’t be able to send a gift themselves. In fact, if 113 participants were to send $100 each, the entire season of Brigada giving would be done. (We only have $11,314 to go.) You could even opt to pitch in for *two* or more shares to help someone else who can’t afford to give. It’s easy: Just browse to https://brigada.org/empower-brigada and click Donate. Thank you for joining in the fun! We appreciate you! read more…
