We’ve been Brigada subscribers for at least a decade, and we truly appreciate your dedication and perseverance in sending us so much helpful news and resources all these years.” Wow.

One friend wrote, “God has worked through Brigada to lead me to many very useful resources, often just when I was thinking about finding something on that topic. May He continue to give you and your co-workers grace and insight for this most appreciated communication work! … from a fellow worker in East Asia.” Another asked prayer “for collaboration with partners in N India and their disciple-making movements.” So we say, “Lord, please bring all these workers and their respective spheres of influence together. Bring them together like Jesus prayed in John 17, that they may be one that the world would be won. In Jesus name, Amen.”
