Brigada – Edited by Doug Lucas, since January 25th, 1995, the weekly Brigada Today web journal has offered resources, mission trends, motivation, strategy tips, tools & “hacks” to Great Commission Christians. What’s more, it is searchable and allows comments so that fellow believers can share, give input, talk about their own experiences and more. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND subscribing to their weekly emails at http://www.brigada.org/.
Brigada is an excellent place to get missionary news and missionary resources curated and recommended by other missionaries and mission leaders. It is a reliable source of information and help to missionaries all over the world.
