We’ve recently committed to helping Team Expansion become established at its new training campus in Louisville, Kentucky. See their site at:

Think of it as a smaller version of emerald hillsthe U.S. Center for World Mission. (Even as I write those words, I realize nothing could ever match the vision that the late Dr. Ralph Winter managed to muster for that campus. I remember in the late 70’s, when I first heard about it, I was amazed that he was tackling it. However, in the spirit of Dr. Winter, we’re venturing where only fools might dare to tread, … ) In a very unique fundraising initiative, Team Expansion is seeking 29 partners, each of which would be asked to donate $24,000 to create a “Prayer Shelter” at the Emerald Hills site. Since Team Expansion has been very very good to Brigada, we’re love to help them out as they get started at their new campus. If you’d like to help, just click on one of the “Donor” links at the top of this page. Both are safe, the one with PayPal and the other with one of the most well-known “real” online merchants on the web. Neither requires you to open an account with anyone … and neither ever spams you. 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.) If you’d like your gift to go toward the “29” fund (the Prayer Shelter) just mark it on the check or in the comment line. Again, the goal for this “29” project is $24,000.

A gift of any size would help, whether monthly or one-time. If you know of someone who might sponsor the entire amount, please just hit reply and tell us how to help. Thank you for any help you can give.
