9) We Give Thanks…

For a worker from Spokane, WA who personally gave $100 to spur on Brigada to the good works God has called us to do. We’re sobered and humbled… and dared to go onward. Thank you brother! Also, the folks at Dial-Abroad.org sent a payment in appreciation for long distance used by Brigada subscribers throughout the last 10 months of 2008. The total $318.53! If you’re a Dial-Abroad subscriber, thank you so much for talking in 2008! :-) They’ve offer a wide range of services including Voice over IP (think Skype Out), domestic and int’l long distance, personal toll-free numbers, and phone cards.

Finally, we’re grateful to “Pete” from Australia. He evidently sent a $100 gift to Brigada as a form of celebrating his own birthday, apparently during the first week of May. Something about this idea seemed upside down at first (then again, Australia *is* down under :-) ), but after a while, we started getting used to the idea… that a true fan of Brigada would celebrate a new year of life by cheering on Brigada. At least it started to make sense for us here. :-) So thanks Pete, and may you experience the most amazing birthday ever!!!! May God bless you richly for sharing so unselfishly. At a time when many of us think that we should be the recipient of gifts, you chose to give a gift to others. Sounds almost Christlike to me!!! Thanks again!
