11) Last and Final Call for Help for the 2010 Budget Year —

As is our custom, we recognize the fact that some folks might have made out checks on Dec. 31st (at least we hope some someones did). As a result, we’ll report on giving for 2010 in just one more issue — next week’s. We’ll also lump online giving with 2010 as well — for just one more week. So here’s one last appeal to anyone and everyone that can help us make up this shortfall. The total so far for 2010 is $8,182.90. Our goal was 17,120. That means we are on our last lap, praying for $8937.10. We’re confident there are some people, churches, and agencies that could just grant that entire amount. They could write a check for $2500 or $1000. May God raise them up this final week. To underwrite the costs of 2010 and be a part of empowering Brigada on into the future for roughly 10,000 subscribers in countries all over the globe, just click the “Donate” link at the top of the page at brigada.org. You won’t have to register with PayPal if you don’t want to. (Just click “make a payment without logging in” if you prefer.) We can also set up a regular once-a-month automatic withdraw from your checking account or major credit card. Or, if you prefer, just send an old-fashioned check each month, payable to Team Expansion to: Team Expansion (Brigada), 13711 Willow Reed Dr., Louisville, KY 40299. (Team Expansion is a 501(c)3 incorporation so for USA citizens, your checks made out to Team Expansion are tax-deductible.) Thanks to those who have suggested this cause to their local church missions teams. We appreciate you!
