WHAT IN THE WORLD IS BRIGADA?
Brigada, pronounced “bree-GAH-dah” (rhymes with armada), is the rough equivalent of a “brigade” — in Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and even Filipino! The idea is to stand side by side to pass buckets of hope for those most in need of Christ’s eternal message! Check out nearly 5 years of weekly back issues at https://brigada.org.

And we do mean 1999! (How in the world did last week’s edition borrow a paragraph from last year’s conference info! I must have been sleep-keyboarding again! 
) The 4th Annual Medical Mission Conference will be held at Southeast Christian Church November 12 – 13, 1999, in Louisville, Kentucky. To me, this conference is the premier medical missions event of each and every year. I haven’t heard of anything that rivals its depth and breadth. Check out speakers, workshops, displays, missions orgs, and mingle with hundreds of like-minded med-types. This is the event. Southeast Christian Church’s new facility is located on Blankenbaker Parkway, just off the Blankenbaker Road exit on Interstate 64. Details for the conference including hotel information and conference registration are available on the conference web site at: http://www.medicalmissions.com or by calling Stephanie at: 502-253-8950 ext. 4725.

GEAR UP FOR HIV WORK
GLOBAL GLIMPSE OF GOD’S POWER
A Chinese man was angry when his wife returned late from a Christian gathering one day. He began to beat her with his belt and screamed that he would only stop when his belt broke in two. “Strangely, the belt broke right then…”, he wrote to the Christian radio station FEBC. “My wife didn’t hold it against me, but simply remained quiet. I was ashamed and unable to sleep, so eventually woke my wife and asked her to forgive me. I thought that God would most likely not accept such an evil person as me, but my wife told me that God loved me and would save all those who believed in him. I confessed my sins and prayed with my wife.”(Source: Far East Broadcasting Corporation http://www.febc.org via FridayFax 1999 issue 41, 15 October http://www.cmd.org.nz/ffaxnu.html).

PLEASE DON’T SUBSCRIBE US TO YOUR LIST — It’s always better to ask before manually force-adding anyone to your list-serve or mailing list.
