Interested in giving your ministry or Christian web service a boost? One new friend recently wrote, “Doug I just wanted to show you how effective your newsletter is. [This writer attached a jpg of the web stats to which he was referring.] More important than the spike in visits as noted by the graph on my google analytics page is that your item resulted in a tangible increase in our services. … Within a few short days of your item, we figure that about 300 new people visited our site. Thanks!” Another friend wrote, “When I came into the office, there were oncoming faxes strewn all over the floor and our machine was out of paper. The memory was maxed out. My only regret is that I was totally unprepared for the volume of response from Brigada’s readership!”

The best part about Brigada is that we don’t charge advertising or sponsorship fees! Instead, we function on a model that is totally dependent on donations. In 2008, we’re thankful for the fact that great friends have sent $6,113. However, by Dec. 31, 2008, we have to raise $17,150. If you’ve ever benefited from a Brigada item, would you ask your church to send a one-time gift to help make up this ground? If just 22 churches sent a $500 each, we’d be completely done and wouldn’t mention finances throughout the remainder of the year.

IMPORTANT: Would you consider approaching your church to ask if they would commit to trying to find room for a $500 one-time gift by Dec. 31, 2008? If so, this entire year will be taken care of ever-so-simply!

In the meantime, if you’d like to share in the responsibility in any way, just click one of the pushbuttons at the right-hand top of the home page… or use the PayPal link on the upper left if you prefer. Either way, you can also click on the “Donate” page in the link at the top of the webpage

https://brigada.org/1995/01/contribute.html

Again, you can choose to use PayPal or any major credit card (to do the latter, when it asks for your PayPal account, just erase the user name and password, then, at the bottom of the page, where it says “Use any major credit card”, just click there and fill it out like a normal form at any other payment web form. On the other hand, if you want to use PayPal, just fill in the info for your account. Or if you prefer, just send an old-fashioned check payable to Team Expansion to: Team Expansion (Brigada), 13711 Willow Reed Dr., Louisville, KY 40299. (Team Expansion is a 501(c)3 incorporation so for USA citizens, your checks made out to Team Expansion are tax-deductible.) 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 be anonymous. And thank you in advance for helping.
