Thanks to 1 friend from Oklahoma who sent $25, and 6 friends of Brigada for sending $50 each to keep the Brigadas flowing out of Louisville and onto your screens.

One of those latter friends was a leader at Life Impact Ministries. They provide places of rest, retreat, and processing for missionaries and pastors. Learn more about them at…

Another was a retired banker, now working in southeast Asia as a tentmaker. God be praised for those who volunteer cross-culturally with retirement dollars. There’s nothing wrong with golf courses, mind you. I have nothing against grass. But there’s something special about retired folks who decide to follow their dreams and let their employers’ retirement funds pay for it.

Yet another was an Australian. You know, sometimes I think that Australians seem to have the biggest heart for Brigada. Maybe it’s got something to do with the fact that they’re all hanging on to the bottom of the globe, and they realize that Brigada, also, just hangs on, until a gift like this one comes along. We appreciate you!

The final individual giving $50 this past week was a worker with

We received $60 from a great friend from New Mexico. Thanks for spurring on Brigada!

Sending $200 this past week was a new “true fan” of Brigada from California. You know, there’s a special place in my heart for Californians now. :-) Seriously, thank you!

Finally a great friend and true fan sent $250! Gifts like that are always humbling — and motivating to keep pushing forward with Brigada.

We’re so thankful for great partners like these. One said, “I’ve been a freeloader for too long on your excellent resource!” God be praised for friends.
