"Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'?
Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white
for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life
eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.”
John 4:35-36
- As we look forward to the new year, the statement that the fields
are white for harvest has never been truer in the Francophone world. As described
further in the passage, in the harvest there, are different roles. Some with 'boots
on the ground' are the harvesters that we seek to equip and provide printed materials
for. Our calling is to find the right resources and get them into the hands of the
harvesters. We need your partnership in prayer and funding as we together seek to be
faithful to God’s call.

Ella Hazzard Safe at home in the caring arms of our Savior
|
- Dear Prayer & Praise partners...
Today we just received word that Ella Hazzard, long standing
BLF volunteer
from the San Diego, California area, who has served for quite some time with BLF
Éditions in France, has been called home to now reside with Jesus. While we do not have
a lot of details, we understand that she left time for eternity by way of a condition
with cancer - something she kept private to herself. We do know that on January 13 at
10:30 AM, a memorial service is planned at the
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego.
Pastor Tim Powell from
Shadow Mountain Community Church
will officiate. (This is Ella's home church.) Her
husband passed away 15-20 years ago, and she served in missions for
many years. Ella's family currently reside in Brazil - please pray for her family during
this time of mourning.
While we are deeply saddened for her departure from time, we rejoice
that during her time, she choose Jesus Christ to be her Savior and Lord and actively pointed
people to know Him as their Savior and Lord. We are looking forward to seeing her again
soon, forever more, full of abundant life with Jesus.
