Join us in praying and thanking God for His answers:

Students at an elementary school in Mukedi
DRC
Pastor Jonas Muyima reports that 20 teachers of religion were trained in Lwende Nzangala on how to use BLF
Sunday School curriculum in their classrooms at elementary school and high school levels. The students at
an elementary school in Mukedi are amazed about the wonderful training their teachers of religion received
as the teachers present their well-prepared lessons. The educational program in the DRC authorizes the
teaching of religion once a week in each class at this level. Teachers and students thank God and donors.

Madagascar
Madagascar, a large island off the east coast of Africa, is suffering the worst drought in four decades.
1.4 million people are food insecure as famine looms because of reduced rainfall in recent years. People,
most of whom live on less than $1 a day, are trading what few goods they own for any food they can find.
Pray not only for compassionate relief and long-term solutions, but for the Gospel to spread there through
churches, missionaries, and Christian literature, so that people may have hope not only for this life but
for eternity too. “The majority of the population practices the old folk religions that have been a part
of their culture for centuries. This is vividly seen in the practice of venerating and reburying dead
ancestors.

The lack of biblically trained leaders and structured teaching for other Christians have allowed
many of these old beliefs and traditions to be incorporated into the Church.” (Source: prayercast.com).
Pray for Bibles and books to be distributed and for the training of leaders to teach them.
Burkina Faso
Pray for Nadège, a Sunday School teacher trained by Esther Schaeffer with the Christian and Missionary Alliance,
and recipient of BLF Sunday School materials, that she would prepare well for her Sunday School ministries and
continue to be an example for other teachers. Pray that as CMA distributes the Sunday School materials, they
would get into the hands of those who are teaching each week. Pray that CMA workers would be an encouragement to
each one of the teachers in their area of Burkina Faso.

Haiti
The Word of Life Bible school in Haiti continues to expand the cultivation of crops on their ground to create revenues for
the school. They are making very good use of the generator and water pump that were donated to them. The construction of
the Bible school Word of Life Haiti is advancing too.

Canada
High speed internet has been installed at the church where the new radio station will be hosted in Brownsburg, Quebec.
The municipality of Brownsburg have granted a permit for the modifications needed to accommodate the radio station.
Toe-Blake Roy has been in contact with the contractor that will be doing the work in preparation for the team coming from
August 15-20th from Hamilton, On (Galcom); Lachute, QC (Helpers on the site); Quebec City (electrician); and St-Camile,
QC (general help and food preparation for the week). This exciting project is happening because of your faithfulness in
prayer and financial support for which we are so grateful!
God leading us forward
We appreciate prayer for the leadership and staff teams of BLF Ministries, that God will inspire and lead in the decisions
and details as we update our website and communications pieces to inspire new people to participate in our ministries, and
as we adopt new projects to put biblical tools into the hands of French-speaking people who need them most yet can least
afford to buy them. Pray for generous new donors whose heart is to lay up treasure in heaven by using their earthly treasure
to finance God’s work so that people living without Christ will come to know Him and be discipled in His ways. We give thanks
for those who are already doing that.
Thank you for your valuable ministry of intercession.
