BLF Day of Prayer & Fasting - November 9th, 2011

Dear Friends,

THANK YOU for your part in the ministry of BLF through fervent prayer. 
THANK YOU for your part to bring these items before God's throne in prayer ...
 


Prayer & Praises from our partners: BLF Canada   

  • BLF Canada is thankful for the opportunities from Missions Globales in Montreal this past weekend. The event was great! Pray for us as we follow up on new contacts to help in our mission.
  • November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada. We remember our fallen soldiers who sacrificed themselves for our freedom. Pray that Canadians would see that Jesus did the same thing.
  • Pray for Daniel Julien as he is taking a sabbatical for one year to recoup from a back injury and to then plan for future ministry.  Click HERE for Daniel's latest newsletter.

Prayer & Praises from our partners: BLF Europe   
Praise God for Two new much needed books published by BLF Europe in November:

Book 1: Médiums, astrologues, guérisseurs... Ce qu'ils ne vous disent pas (Mediums, astrologers, healers ... what they don't tell you)

Many areas of the French-speaking world deal with the occult. This book, which belongs to BLF's "New Beginnings" collection, will help many people. It has been written by Emmanuel Maennlein, a French author who travels throughout the French-speaking world and gives conferences on the subject of the occult.

 

Book 2: The Cape Town Commitment
Published under the responsibility of the CNEF in collaboration with the Lausanne Movement.

Manga Bible in French schools project:
In June, as part of the "Marjorie Chaix" project, we sent 3 Manga Bible volumes -- Le Messie, Métamorphose, and Mutinerie -- to all the bishops in France and Québec. We have just received another kind response from one of them: 

"I received the package that you sent me and the gift of the three works on the Bible in Manga. Thank you. I appreciate them a lot. Bravo for the enormous work of creating this image. Bravo for the energy that you put into joining our youth to the path of construction ... and their quest for direction.  I entrust you, our collaborators, with the blessing of the Living God and assure you of my cordial sentiments."
                                                                                - Renauld de Dinechin - (Auxiliary Bishop of Paris)

BLF Europe people info:
— Mary Cayot is with us until November 15. She is making good progress in the 2011 accounting.
— Kevin and Debbi already left for the USA. They did an excellent job with the last two teams. They will return, God willing, in the spring.
— Annie Baziuk arrives from the USA November 17. She joins the team in Marpent for 12 months.
Centre Evangélique Lognes November 20-22, 2011:
Every year around mid-November, five of our BLF Europe team go to Paris for three days.
The annual Evangelical Center exposition brings together most of the evangelical organizations in France, and BLF has its place among all the French evangelical publishers.  The preparations for such an event are intense. It takes us at least 15 days to finalize everything.  Please pray for this event that the results of which will allow God's Word in print to reach and impact an ever increasing number of groups of French speaking  people for Jesus Christ - world wide.
From Nicolas Devins:
  • Thank you for continuing to pray for a good purchaser for the machines we'd like to sell very soon. We should receive a serious proposal in a few days.
  • Pray for John Looney -- the timing of his arrival was perfect -- as he is in the process of drawing up plans to make good use of the shop's space for offices, storage, and shipping.
From John Looney:
  • Praise God - we are receiving several interests from buyers wanting to purchase the machines in the shop.  As we transition to more cost effective ways of publishing and getting God's Word out, some of our old equipment can be reduced.
  • Pray - for wisdom for the leaders of BLF Europe as they deal with selling the machines.
  • Pray - for more buyers to make offers for the machines.
  • Pray - for spiritual and emotional strength as we deal with the attacks from our enemy.

Walter and Nancy Zurfluh
West Coast Reps for
BLF USA
From Walter and Nancy Zurfluh West Coast Reps for BLF USA:
  • Praise that Walter had successful cataract surgery on October 12 on his left eye. He had his right eye done on July 13. He now has 20/20 vision for distance, but will need to wear glasses for reading and close up work.
  • On November 2 Nancy had a PET scan. Continue to pray that she will get a good report of no cancer when she sees her oncologist on November 10, 2011.
  • Pray for a long time friend and supporter of BLF who recently had surgery for abdominal surgery. She is otherwise in good health, but now needs prayer for a full recovery.
  • Continue to pray for two ladies to whom we have given literature--Lisa, a French New Testament and Carolyn, a spiral Daily Devotional reader, which clearly presents the Gospel.

Annie Baziuk,
Missionary to France
with BLF Europe  and
Sue Gross,
BLF US Office Manager
Please pray for travel mercies for Annie Baziuk as she comes to Chicago Nov. 6th-8th for some final meetings before her departure to France on Nov. 16th. Pray for God to protect her health as she is busy making final preparations and meeting with friends and family before she leaves.

Praise God for all the things He accomplished through the leaders and members of the 2011 Impressions Teams. We are thankful to each and every one of them for sacrificially giving of their time and resources to serve alongside us as we continue to reach the French-speaking world for Christ!

Please pray for God to bring forth His servants who are willing to lead a team in 2012 or serve as Host and Hostess in France next year. The prime team spots of June and July of 2012 are open and potentially some fall dates as well! The need for Host and Hostess is anywhere from April through July or Sept through October.
