Brigada – 2024-04-21

Legacy Conference 2016 promises to provide hope, understanding and resources to leverage the Islamic global upheaval for an historic ingathering of lost souls into Christ’s kingdom. Millions of Muslims are leaving Islam in their hearts but they don’t know where they are going. The Legacy Conference brings experienced, fruitful apologists, evangelists, missionaries and former Muslims such as Nabeel Qureshi, Abdu Murray, Jay Smith, John Span, Georges Houssney and Don McCurry. These plenary speakers will apply Isaiah 65:1-3 to evangelism among Muslim people. Legacy Conference 2016 will take place June 23-24 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Thanks to Jim for sending us to Bookfinder…

http://www.bookfinder.com/

Jim wrote, “One of the major advantages of BookFinder.com over the others (and there are several) is the search design which we have found to be more robust allowing for conducting simultaneous searches based on author, title, language, ISBN, binding, publication year, price in different currencies and shipping destination. The result is a more comprehensive list of books including various editions as well as books with the same title but by different authors — something that doesn’t always seem to be the case with AllBookstores.com which search mainly for the most popular title. We also like the split screen for used versus new and the fact that the price includes shipping but you can scroll over to see the breakdown.” Thanks Jim!

Thanks to the Mission Network, who sent $100 this past week because they believe in Brigada enough to make a monthly pledge of $100, partly because they want to dare other agencies, churches, and individuals to do the same. God bless you!!! Learn more about Mission Network at…

Thanks, too, for the anonymous donor who sent $2. He’s giving a portion of every book sold via his private book publishing site.

The more we like it. The editors have done a fantastic job of culling some of the most mission-critical thinking (on sending-base movements) with topics that MATTER. In this day and age when printed magazines are having to re-think their reasons to exist, it seems like the one thing that will make the most difference is to address topics that MATTER. And we’re convinced that these topics DO. So hats off, Mission Frontiers.

We understand their next edition will also deal with multiplying disciples too. Keep up the good work, Mission Frontiers!
