For Wednesday, June 21
st
, 2017
This past Sunday, in the US and other areas, we celebrated
Father's Day. An opportunity to celebrate each one's dad. And yet a higher calling persists,
that of celebrating our Heavenly Father. Perhaps this week we could choose to celebrate this week as "Father's Week."
"Thank you Father God, for your indescrible grace. Thank you for directing our steps. Thank you for caring about the details of our lives.
We humbly seek your guidance with great praise. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen."
May God richly bless you as you pray and praise!

For BLF
Canada ...
- We are praising the Lord for the arrival of the shipment of 58 boxes of books, audio Bibles, 150 Bibles,
and a photo copy machine with lots of paper for the pastors of
Gonaives, Haiti. (The copier is God's provision
to photocopy
Sunday
school materials and 150 copies of course notes for the Haitian pastors involved.)
Unfortunately, during the shipment, the container that held the materials also had a barrel of vegetable oil which
had burst inside the container during the trip and spilled inside. We have yet to determine
the extent of damage
to BLF's contents as to what is still good, what is acceptable to keep, and what is in ruin. This was the third year BLF Canada has used this shipping company without any incident.
--- Please pray for BLF Canada director Toe-Blake Roy as
he will arrive to teach
Haitian pastors from July 5th to 12th.
--- Please pray for wisdom as solutions are sought. As usual the distance, the lack of consistent internet and reliable phone communication makes
it challenging to be expedient in dealing with the situation.
--- Please pray that the shipping damage would be minimal so that the materials would prove to be a blessing for the pastors and those they serve.
Thank you so much for uplifting us in prayer.

For BLF
USA ...
Central African Republic (C.A.R.), a French-speaking country where BLF reps,
Russ and Mary Ann Miller were missionaries,
is in great turmoil at present. American and Ugandan militaries have been working together in C.A.R. to eliminate
the
Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). At present, both governments have decided to terminate this mission and pull out
of C.A.R., leaving a vacuum that rebel groups are already filling. Millers prepared and taught Bible lessons, and
trained teachers to use them in the local schools. Please pray that the Lord will protect these local believers
as they persevere in these difficult days.
- Please continue to pray for the Muslims of the Francophone world using our interactive Ramadan prayer calendar.
- As we continue to pray for the leaders of the Francophone world, this week our focus is:
Réunion - one of the
African islands located east of Madagascar.
Didier Robert is President of the Regional Council. Although a Catholic majority is present,
many blend Christianity with other religions or the occult. God is at work though renewing the Catholic Church and the charismatic and
house movements. Pray for the government and islanders to know the power of Christ in their lives.
