- The roots of Bibles and Literature in French run deep to a solid calling to provide Christian materials to the entire Francophone world - to come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and to grow in Him. Throughout the French speaking world, good, solid Christian materials remains a rarity. This is even more intense in underprivileged countries - many of which reside in Africa.

Many other missions organizations rely on the books and materials that BLF produces. BLF partners with many mission organizations to distribute these materials to those they are in contact with. This, in part, fulfills our vision to get God's truth into the hands of those seeking to know God more closely, serve Him faithfully and give Him glory. God is using your solid foundation of prayer and financial support with BLF to make that really happen! Here is some feedback from one such outreach, Hope 4 Congo, to thank and encourage all of us at BLF - including you, who are part of BLF in your service of Prayer and Praise. ...

From Brad Graber – Hope4Congo ...
-- 2020 will bring new unforeseen challenges. But God is faithful. He is El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh. Let us not trust in horses and chariots but in our almighty God to provide what we need. My prayer for all of us is that Almighty God would keep us humble, malleable clay in the potters hand, and His willing servants in 2020. That He will comfort us in our troubles so that we may comfort those in trouble. May His hope fill us with all joy and peace so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thanks everyone for your commitment and perseverance.  -Brad

-- Leonard Kiswangi is a partner with Hope4Congo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. BLF sent a set of BLF Sunday School Curriculum for Africa via surface mail a couple of months ago and it made it to Leonard in one piece –(yay)! Brad will likely plan to mail other BLF materials in the coming weeks.  Here's a note of thanks from Leonard ...

"Greetings and thank you very much from pastor's heart, to manifest God's love and compassion towards the hopeless and destitues in our communities! Sharing in your encouragements, I pray that God will affirm the work of our hands, yes He will affirm the work of our hands for His sake! He will not take away difficulties but He will rather provide us with His presence so that we will be more than conquerors in all that !!!!
Psalms 90:17. We will rest from the work of our hands because the Lord is waiting to show us His grace more than ever before...
Isaiah 30:18. We have the assurance, not in powers nor in possessions, but in His love.
Psalms 27:13. Yes, He will show us His compassion even in the land of the living!!

Our hope remains in the Lord, Congo will be saved, yes, Congo will be certainly saved!

May you have a blessed New Year in 2020!"
     -Leonard Kiswangi

From all of us at BLF,  Thank You for your persistent, tireless faithfulness in partnering in what God is doing through His work at BLF to reach the Francophone world for Jesus Christ!
