Sharing BLF African Sunday School Curriculum




Meeting with Pastor Alain

- D.R. Congo, is a country located in Central Africa. It is still sometimes referred to by its former name of Zaire, which was its official name between 1971 and 1997. It is, by area, the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, the second-largest in all of Africa, and the 11th-largest in the world. It is about a third of the size of the United States and has a population of more than 78 million. Congo has seen much conflict, exploitation of its people and disease. DR Congo's level of human development was ranked 176th out of 187 countries by the Human Development Index. As of 2018, around 600,000 Congolese have fled to neighboring countries from conflicts in the center and east of the DRC. Two million children risk starvation, and the fighting has displaced 4.5 million people.

There is much work to do in Congo. Please be in prayer for these precious people who need to see the love of Jesus in so many ways. BLF's part as you know, is through the provision of biblical resources such as Bibles, BLF African Sunday School Curriculum and materials that provide a moral compass.

Mamie, who recently returned from Congo gave BLF African Sunday School Curriculum and materials to five churches. Here she is with Pastor Alain, at his church in Kingasani in Kinshasa. They have 80 children every Sunday in Sunday school.

BLF Canada Fundraiser October 19th, 2019




Haiti Project 2019:
Digital Study Library

- BLF Canada will hold its semi-annual fundraiser on October 19 (click on image, left, for details). Our project this year is the result of our partnership with Publication Chrétienne in Québec. In past years, we could only offer pastors in Africa or Haiti, Bible ressources in paper format. As you know from these projects, the cost of one concordance was $75, shipping included. With the advancement of technology spreading to third-world countries, thousands of pages of Biblical resources can now be offered to pastors in Africa and Haiti for the same cost. Publication Chrétienne put together the resources and financially assumed the cost of copyrights, converting these resources to fit on an SD card. These resources can now be purchased at a cost of $75 per SD card. Here is a brochure which includes a detailed list of the Bible resources made available on the SD card. Because the SD card is the size and thickness of a finger nail, the shipping cost will be none existant.

If you or your church are considering a mission project this year, I would encourage you to consider an educational investment in the ministry life of a French pastor in giving him the tools that any pastor needs to feed his sheep.

Thank you so much for faithfully praying for the Roys as we seek together to reach the French World for Christ!
