BLF Prayer & Praise - January 11^th, 2012

Dear Friends,

Thank you for joining BLF in our weekly Prayer & Praise.

We appreciate your fellowship and partnership in this ministry.
Thank you for praying for these items of interest and concern to BLF. Your prayer is important. May God richly bless you!

Walter and Nancy Zurfluh
Retired West Coast Reps for BLF USA

From Walter and Nancy Zurfluh, Retired West Coast Reps for BLF USA ...
Please pray for Nancy and Walt as they continue to deal with substantial health care issues... Please lift them up regarding their latest communication...

"Please pray for Nancy Zurfluh ..... she will be having the fluid from the pleura in the right lung removed at the hospital Out Patient Surgery this coming Thursday morning, Jan. 12th. The doctor is hoping the chemo will prevent the fluid from returning. Pray the chemo treatments (one day every two weeks) will kill the cancer cells and that the side effects will not be too severe. Most of all, pray that she will be a testimony to the greatness of the Lord who gives healing, peace and joy even in the midst of this trial. THANK YOU for standing with us in your prayers." --Nancy and Walt Zurfluh

From Zachariah Kenney, Assistant to the Director, and the staff of BLF Canada...
Prayer for our bookkeepers (Zak Kenney and Shirley Plett) as they work on the year-end financial reports and tax returns/donation receipts.

Praise God - Daniel Julien is doing better and is recovering on schedule. Please continue to pray for him.

Please Pray For God's Plan - BLF has provided 4 sets (9 books each) of French counseling books as well as mini-Bibles to Wayne and Edith Clark. They will be departing for Berkina Faso on January 11th. The sets will be donated to French pastors.

Pray for the planning phase of an upcoming fundraiser in February. Pray that God might use this to His glory - there is nothing more important than that He is glorified in all we do.

From Tom Rice, BLF US President, Acting US Executive Director and the staff of BLF USA...

Pray for BLF International. BLF International is the amalgamation or partnership of BLF USA, BLF Canada and BLF Europe - that agrees to work together with the common focus to provide Bibles and Literature in French - to reach the Francophone world for Jesus Christ.

Please pray as God leads us toward that purpose, the BLF family of all involved (which includes you who pray, support, participate) will be flexible, creative and innovative to accomplish that goal. We are excited to see how God will lead - please pray that all of us will be open to whatever He has prepared that He might be glorified this year of 2012....

This week, we would ask you, (you - personally, your Bible study, prayer group, small group, Bible fellowship, Sunday school / church group, etc.) - to focus in prayer on the following Francophone countries ...
- this time, the continent of Africa

Benin
Burkina Faso
Burundi
Cameroon
Central African Republic
Chad
Comoros Côte d'Ivoire
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Djibouti
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon
Guinea Madagascar
Mali
Niger
Rwanda
Senegal
Seychelles
Togo

While Wikipedia is not always accurate, nevertheless, there are some interesting statistics regarding a "List of countries where French is an official language". As you look over the stats, please remember another important concept - for every 1 Christian book published in French, there are about 300 in English. God's Word in print - a powerful tool God uses to reach people for Jesus Christ.
