10) Following Up on Last Week’s Item About a New Missionary Laptop
Brigada readers are the best. Last week’s request for input on guiding field workers who are content creators in purchasing a new laptop produced a wide variety of great input from multiple Brigada participants. (See “Your Pick for the Ideal Connected Cross-Cultural Laptop?” at https://brigada.org/2024/10/20_41638.) Obviously, all of us have opinions – but then, that’s Brigada. : ) Much appreciation to those who pitched in.
