th
, 2016
Thank you for joining BLF in our weekly Prayer and
Praise.
We SO appreciate your fellowship
and partnership in this ministry.
Thank you for praying for these items of interest and
concern to BLF.
Your active prayer participation
is important
and significant.
May God richly bless you!

Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin.
Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy
but also to prevent sin.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

USA ...
- Please consider participating in “Stand with the Persecuted” this coming Sunday, April 17 (see the short video at http://www.frc.org/stand).
Note that 7 of the top 50 countries in Open Door’s 2016 World Watch List are places where French is either an official language or is spoken by
millions: Central African Republic (26); Djibouti (28); Tunisia (32); Algeria (37); Comoros (39); Mali (44); and Niger (49). “Remember those who are
in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (ESV)
- Praise God! that the French Parliament passed a bill last Wednesday making it illegal to pay for sex in France. While prostitution remains
legal, clients could be fined in excess of $4,000 and even required to attend seminars highlighting the struggles faced by prostitutes, 90% of whom are victims
of Romanian, Nigerian and Chinese sex trafficking networks. Please pray that these women--and the men who seek them out--will find freedom in Christ and become
a blessing to their communities. May BLF’s recently published Être libre, c’est possible! (Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace) by
Heath Lambert help many French-speaking men who struggle with pornography.
- Please pray for the 40,000 people in eastern Congo-DRC who face food shortages as floods hit the region.
- Time-sensitive BLF-related offer: Gary Thomas’ Sacred Marriage is available on Amazon and iTunes in Kindle and iBooks formats
(respectively) for $1.99 for a limited time only. This book was translated and published by BLF under the title Vous avez dit oui à quoi
(You said yes to what?). May many take advantage of this great offer.
