And it was a great year, too. We’re so very grateful for those who have chipped in a total of $300 more:

$50 from a dear couple working in Bosnia. What a boost. $75 from a great encourager from Columbia, SC. Shew. Thanks! $50 from a friend working with an unreached people group in Cen. Asia $100 from the great Canadian Perspectives students & staff, BC, Canada $25 from a great friend in Morton, IL

This, combined with the $13,918.90 balance from last edition’s report makes a total of $14,218.90 sponsorships and gifts in 2007. It was a great year and, though we fell short of our financial needs ($17,150), it was still enough for partial secretarial help, along with some very much-appreciated help toward Brigada web-hosting & expansion expenses.

For 2008, we will be setting exactly the same goal as for 2007: $17,150. Already there are two gifts that have arrived:

$20 from a Texan with big dreams, wanting to “prime the pump” for ’08 $25 Charleston S.C. Personal Injury lawyers, on the web at
