- ECFA, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, is an organization
BLF has been a member of and accountable to for financial integrity before God and all who partner
with us, since 1999. ECFA has member organizations world wide. Here is a recent message from an
ECFA contact in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo...

"We are healthy but still in confinement! According to the official report from the Ministry of
Health in the DRC, we now have 215 confirmed cases of coronavirus, 20 deaths, 13 cured and 139
patients healing well. It is difficult for the more than 13 million inhabitants of Kinshasa, many
of whom are destitute, to respect the health advice. We pray that God will help us, especially
when we see how this pandemic is ravaging the West!
Please pray.

From Russ and Mary Ann Miller ...
- With the current events of our day, we are not able to travel around the country
and update supporters, groups and churches about BLF as we have in the past. We are, instead,
preparing to use the telephone and call people on behalf of BLF. Please pray for us during the next
weeks as we make these calls, that the Lord will use our efforts and help people across the US to
stay in touch with BLF.

For
BLF Éditions ...
|
From the president of the BLF Éditions board ...
I am thankful for your prayers and support throughout the Coronavirus situation.
Here are some prayers updates for BLF Éditions in France:
- A large evangelical church in the East of France was one of
the first clusters in France for the Coronavirus. This means that evangelicals
(less than 1% of the population) are regularly being falsely accused of propagating
the virus across France. Some pastors are even receiving death threats. Please pray
for the Church in France, that we would glorify God by our loving response.
- While sales and books distributed were looking on the up in January /
February, the Coronavirus situation in France has meant that all bookshops (including
Christian bookshops) have now been closed. The impact is huge for BLF with a miss of
revenue of over 100 000 Euros. We have put some actions in place in order for us to survive
this crisis, but it is looking difficult. Please can you pray for the board as we seek
for solutions, prayer and financial help from Christians and BLF supporters?
- We will be translating and publishing
John Lennox’s book
- "Where is God in a
Coronavirus world". We believe that BLF books must be relevant and we pray that
this one will be for the French-speaking world. We are taking a big leap of faith by
publishing this (due to the financial situation), but we believe this is a book that the
French-speaking world needs right now.
Thanks again. Stay safe.
