STILL GROWING!
You can be a member of more than one conference, but to do so, you must subscribe to each conference individually. Subscribing to the top level Brigada conference does not automatically get you mail from each of the subgroups. (If it did, you’d go crazy with mail!!! 
) To subscribe to any of the conferences, just send email to hub@xc.org with the word “subscribe” followed by the conference name (include the hyphens in the conference name, but lose the quotes in “subscribe”). For example, to subscribe to the albania-durres subconference listed, your message to hub@xc.org would read,
subscribe brigada-albania-durres
FEATURED CONFERENCE – NEW ‘BOOKSHELF’ FOR THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD:BRIGADA-PEOPL
filelist brigada-peoples
in the body of the text. (Brigada regulars will notice that this is one ‘conference’ that you don’t have to join in order to use. It has been set up specifically as a ‘bookshelf’ location. You need not subscribe.) In a few moments, you’ll receive a list of the people profiles available for downloading. Pick out a profile, then send email to hub@xc.org with only the words
get mozambique-ndau
in the body of the text ( of course, replace this particular people group name with that of your choice from the file list). Note that in this new file area, the profiles no longer begin with the prefix, “peoples-“, since the entire location is dedicated to this topic.

TOOL OF THE WEEK – COMPUSERVE ADDS WORLDWIDE WEB READER… TODAY!
[Note about NetLauncher: Let’s be patient as Cserve works the bugs out of the system. My own trial of this tool this morning resulted in very slow access times compared to using Netscape browser on Netcom. But we’re confident that they’ll fine tune it over the next few weeks. Also, if you normally access the WWW through another browser, such as Netscape, beware that the Cserve install will try to replace your WinSock driver with its own proprietary Winsock.dll in the C:\windows subdirectory. A word to the wise…. ]
DOES WWW ACCESS MEAN BRIGADA WILL CEASE OPERATING EMAIL COMMANDS?
IT’S WORKING!!!
“PRAISE GOD! I couldn’t help but say this repeatedly as I read Doug and Al’s response to Jim’s mail. It’s working! The network is working. It is just this kind of connection and cooperation we need to finish the task that remains in our generation (see attached file below ). May this kind of activity increase and abound on this and other missions networks! Needless to say, I am very excited about the networking possibilities that lie ahead of us as God takes another technological tool and uses it for His great purpose – the reaching of the unreached peoples of the world. Carry on dear brethren, and let us unite together in prayer and labor, faith and love, to that glorious end. The Lord bless and keep you all for His great name’s sake.

A MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE LAND…
“…There wasn’t any pressure placed on the roughly 500 students to come forward, but people came. In fact, they kept coming until 6:00 A.M. and there were still students waiting in line to confess sin. It was a mutual decision to reconvene our time of confession until that night at 9:30 P.M. For the next three days Monday-Wednesday, students and faculty met from 9:30 P.M.-2:00 A.M. to “…confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed” (James 5:16). The confessions were sincere, honest, orderly, and honoring to God. Here is a common example of what happened in this time of confession: A guy would come up and confess his struggle with lust, and how he would like prayer to have victory in this area of his life. After he was finished many students (usually some of his friends) would come forward to lay their hands on him and pray for him. A visible result of the times of confession could be seen in a pile on the stage. Students were encouraged to rid themselves of any “hidden provision” which were hindering the victory over sin in their lives. Piles of Pornography, CD’s, Drugs and Alcohol, fashion magazines, credit-cards, etc. were put into big garbage bags and destroyed. No one, except the Holy Spirit, was forcing the students to get rid of the things that caused them to stumble. The last student came forward to confess sin on early Thursday morning. It was agreed that we, (about 1500 of us: students, faculty, and people in the community) would meet together for a time of testimony and praise to our God…. For about the last couple hours of the Thursday night meeting, the focus of the night turned towards missions, and evangelizing the lost. There was a call for any students who felt that God was leading them into full-time Christian ministry or missions to come forward and be prayed for. Hundreds of students came forward, including myself. Then we worshipped God. It was a time of worship that I will not soon forget. Jesus was honored, praised, glorified, and magnified, and the students rejoiced and overflowed with gratitude to our Awesome God…. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD BE PRAYING FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE WHEATON COLLEGE COMMUNITY including myself, that we would love God with all our hearts, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves….”
Let’s pray not just for Wheaton, but for this kind of response all around the planet!
HAPPY EASTER ARTWORK!!!
