With the gifts above, our total for 2009 giving arrives at $13,214.38. This is awesome… but still $3905.62 short of our goal/need for 2009 (same as for 2008) of $17,120. Keep in mind, we could now finish this if just 39 people would step up to the plate during the next 7 days, each sending $100 to demonstrate their desire to be a “True Fan of Brigada.” Last year we *made* the goal. We’re so close this year. Actually, your church, group, or you might even have the capacity to finish this off for the globe-full of subscribers, many of whom can’t afford to send funds. Last year, we received one gift of $5000 in the last breath of 2008. Would you join us in praying that someone will step up to the plate this week? To get involved, 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. We can even set up a regular once-a-month automatic withdraw from your checking account or major credit card. Set it up once and rest easily, knowing that you’re regularly helping get Brigada on the way to the nations. 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.) A gift of any size would help, whether monthly or one-time. If you know someone else who might like to help, just hit reply and tell us about him/her/them. Thank you for your help in fueling the fire of Brigada!
I just noticed that although this post came out in your newsletter on Saturday 1/16, it is dated on 1/10. What is the final date for 2009 donations? Thank you!
The final date for contributing to 2009 was actually Jan. 15th. But please don’t worry. If you intended to donate, your gift could actually be the first in 2010 and help us get off on the right foot. If you were to give today, for example, your gift would be the first of the new year! And … thank you for your thoughtfulness.
