6) New Book! Free!

0 Comments

A new book, Forests in the Seed, is a window into the 21st century of God’s moving to multiply His Kingdom to everyone everywhere. Rather than a theory-based book, this is a testimony of what is happening now as men, women, and children raised to new life in Christ are denying themselves, and taking up their cross. As a result, God is moving in powerful ways to multiply disciples and churches among many formerly unreached Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist people groups. About 40% of the book is amazing stories from the Kingdom Movements around the world.

You can order the book now, but they offering the Amazon Kindle version for free on five different days. They only ask that you “pay” for the book by writing a review. More reviews leads to more visibility on Amazon. The days that the book is free: Mar 28, Apr 25, May 9. Click here to order: https://a.co/d/3okmDLE.

8) Research for PTSD Among Missionary Kids

1 Comment

A Brigada reader, who is a doctoral candidate in the Psychology Department at Liberty University, is conducting research as part of the requirements for a doctoral degree. The purpose of the research is to determine the prevalence of PTSD symptoms among missionary kids, to explore the prevalence of spiritual and religious struggles among MKs, and to examine the potential relationship between PTSD symptoms and spirituality among missionary kids. Can you join this study?

Participants must be 18 years of age or older, missionary kids who have lived overseas for a minimum of one year and must currently reside in the USA. Participants will be asked to take an anonymous, online survey. It should take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete the survey. Participation will be completely anonymous, and no personal, identifying information will be collected. Participants will be asked to share the survey link with other potential participants who meet the criteria for the study.
