1) Watch How This Guy Launched 45 New DMM Groups in North America (in Two Years)
We keep hearing stories about the fact that discovery Bible studies (3/3 groups) become the motor for movements in villages and cities throughout Africa, Asia, and South America. But along with those stories, we hear reality checks regarding how hard it is to launch groups in North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand. And then — along comes Grant, with simple, reproducible patterns (and a lot of prayer plus the blessing of the Holy Spirit). Somehow, he sees 45 new groups spring up in two years. Learn how by watching the videos at https://moredisciples.com/2024/04/multiplyus-13/. (Note: There’s no cost – and you don’t have to sign up for anything.) read more…
2) Missional Training for Service Among the Unreached
82% of missionaries who leave the field early feel that their pre-field training was inadequate.

7) How to Prevent Phone Calls From Overriding Zoom VideoConferences
A Bible translator wrote Brigada this past week to ask, “A while back you wrote about trying all kinds of headphones and loved the JBL. You sold me. I do love them, however, I’ve not found a way to decline an incoming call on my phone while I’m on a Zoom call without being disconnected from the Zoom for the 30 seconds it takes me to decline on the phone, and reconnect the bluetooth on Zoom. I currently have to turn off my phone completely to not be interrupted. JBL says there is no option for this. Have you found any way to deal with this?” Sadly, we had to reply that we have the same problem too – and that, in fact, we’ve seen this behavior on multiple earbuds from multiple manufacturers. Does anybody know – is there an easier way to deal with this, other than powering down one’s phone while we’re on a Zoom call? Thanks in advance for any clues. read more…

10) Pray for Ukraine
Ukraine was in the news again this past week as the President of the USA signed a bill granting around $95 billion dollars (billion – that’s “b” as in bravo) fresh military aid for a land which Russia invaded in what can only be described as a land grab. The invasion was completely unprovoked. Millions of Ukrainians were forced to evacuate as they fled for their lives. Churches have been attacked side by side with military targets. Please join us this week as we lift up this war-torn land and its peace-loving, hard-working people. Learn more and pray at https://prayercast.com/prayer-topic/ukraine/. Various ministries give regular updates from their perspective. For example, join MTW on Sunday, April 28 at 2 pm central / 3 pm eastern by clicking to https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88936272438. If you know of other updates, please add them as a comment below. Thanks in advance. read more…
