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!
How has prayer impacted YOUR life?
Because of God's faithfulness in prayer,
how has God affected your life
and the lives of others you've prayed for?
We invite you to share. Not to boast in anyone but the Lord of glory! In a brief paragraph, e-mail your what God has done in your life and the lives
of those you've seen God change because of prayer. Let us know at
info@blfusa.org.

For BLF
Editions ...
- Praise God for a group of youth that has offered to come work for a week at BLF in July!
The group is from different churches in Lille, the nearest "big city" to our headquarters in Marpent. They will come in July
to sand and paint the tall walls in the warehouse, construct new shelving to better organize our growing stock of books,
and do some of the yard work that has fallen behind. This is a great continuation of the work done previously by teams
from BLF USA.
- Please pray for "The Word and the Acts: The Life of a Disciple in the Light of the Cross" conference to be held this week,
Wednesday to Saturday, at the Bible Institute in Geneva. The conference is given by Evangile 21 - the French branch of The Gospel Coalition.
It features Kevin DeYoung and John Piper and coincides wonderfully with the release of the French version of Taking God at His Word by DeYoung
- as well as the March release of The Biggest Story in French, also by DeYoung. Pray for the speakers and the participants as they teach and listen,
that God will encourage and motivate each one on each day. And, please pray for Philip who will attend, that he will be able to have time
to meet with Kevin DeYoung, John Piper and others.

For BLF
USA ...
- Please pray for BLF USA executive director Rory Clark as he travels to France on Monday for the BLF Editions board and general assembly meetings.
May God guide our discussions and decisions.
- As we anticipate praying for Muslims during Ramadan (June 6-July 5; see
https://waymakers.org/pray/30-days),
please remember the Muslim peoples of the French-speaking world (which includes 15 majority-Muslim countries and territories).
According to the
Joshua Project, Niger (94% Muslim) has 36 people groups (28 unreached).
Please pray for more laborers and that movements like those described in the BLF edition of
Miraculous Movements would happen there.
In the country of Niger, there are the following peoples:
(click on the links for more info)
77,000 Kanuri, Tumari
48,000 Iberogen, Igdalen
38,000 Tuareg, Hoggar
15,000 Tasawaq
Their primary religion is Islam. With the exception of the Tasawaq (which has .4%), the other peoples above are 0% Christian, generally considered some of the least reached for Christ in the world,
have never heard the Gospel from any source - they are totally unreached
- lost for eternity in their present state.
Please pray for the now over 240,000 people in the Diffa region who have been displaced by the violence of Boko Haram. There are an estimated 2 million food insecure
people and 1.5 million malnourished (1.2 million children) in Niger, which is also one of the world's least developed countries.
