Thank you for praying for BLF Canada!
  • Praise God for the Family Festival this past weekend!
  • Praise God that the event is financially taken care of (no outstanding debts)
  • Praise God for the turnout (more people than last year- averaging 75-100 people at each event) There was even over a hundred people on Sunday, despite the rain (we were on the fringes of what was left of hurricane Irene)
  • Praise God for 23 people who made a commitment to Jesus on Sunday. Pray for the follow up which is being handled by the local churches.
  • Praise God that the event, held indoors, was unaffected by the remnants of hurricane Irene.

Pray for BLF Canada director Toe-Blake Roy this weekend (Sep 3-4), as he meets with our partners to work together with Hope for Today (Aujourd’hui Espoir) to discuss evangelistic strategy for the next five years.  (Hope for Today has partnered with BLF and uses BLF materials published in French.

Pray for BLF Canada missionary candidates François and Marie-Paul Bedard as they travel to Lac St Jean. François will be installing a sound system in a local gymnasium for evangelistic events. This will also be a deputation trip for them, as they have many contacts in the area.


Other Prayer Requests for BLF Canada ...

  • Pray for Daniel Julien as he meets with a local hospital this week to discuss the possibility of doing Christmas presentations for sick people this December.

  • Pray for the upcoming BLF Canada board meeting on September 24th.

  • Pray for the Haiti project. Pray that the needed funds will be raised.





Hurricane Irene Issues ...

Praise God - We have heard from BLF US board member Karl Eisenmenger and family in Clifton, New Jersey (almost across from New York City.  Apart from a very wet basement, they are doing ok.  Pray that their basement sump pump continues to be faithful to keep up with the influx of water.  Pray that they might minister to their neighbors during these challenging days.

Praise God - We have heard from former BLF US boardmember Thom Shutt and family in Hampton, Virginia.  Although they had about 2' of water all around their house, their house remained dry and had no other damage issues.  They are also thankful to have electricity throughout the ordeal.

Pray for Canada - Zachariah Kenney, Assistant to Director, BLF Canada reported that while the BLF Canada offices avoided damage, in the Quebec / Montreal region (an hour away from the BLF Canada offices), over 200,000 homes lost power yesterday.  Zak also has a cousin in New Jersey who had to evacuate because a dam broke and flooded the area - pray for him.

Please be in prayer this week for all who are dealing with extensive damage along the whole Eastern US seaboard.  Even though the storm has past, many, many are still being affected by all the flooding at hand.
