 This is the "short list" version.  For the full version, please go to: http://p-p.blfusa.org/PPNL/pp071120.htm

Dear Friend of BLF,

As you think of BLF this week, please join us in prayer and praise for the following ...


Most who receive this Prayer & Praise e-newsletter are in the U.S.  Thursday, we celebrate a time of Thanksgiving.  Throughout history and as outlined in God's Word, over and over again, it is key to be reminded of important things to keep in mind.

  • Praise God with a heart filled with thanks and gratitude for His forgiveness in our lives.

  • Praise God for the measure of faith He has blessed each of us with as we look to His Son for our salvation.  God gave us faith to have and use for His glory.

  • Pray for others this Thanksgiving holiday that they would receive God's prospective that to truly follow Jesus is to make Him our greatest priority.

As you gather with your family, you may want to review the heritage of the Thanksgiving story we originally shared in our Prayer & Praise newsletter on November 23rd, 2004 (see below).


Pilgrim William Brewster holds a Bible as the Pilgrims pray for a safe journey as they leave for America from Delft Haven, Holland, on July 22, 1620.


Pray for a 'pressman' for BLF Europe. As you know, Mike Jensen, our present printer, is in the U.S. due to family health concerns. They may need to stay States-side for an extended period to care for these concerns resulting in the need for a printer in France.

If you are interested in more information regarding the technical specifications - please contact Harry by e-mail or at the Wheaton office at (630) 221-1980.


  • Pray for the 50,000 New Testament Project for France. 10,000 N.T. have been funded.
     

  • Pray for funds to print 40,000 more still needed.
     

  • Pray for God to prepare the hearts of those who will receive a N.T. "...my word shall not return void, but shall accomplish what I desire..."


Praise the Lord for the move our new office here in Carol Stream, IL! It's only a few blocks from where we were but the new facility where we share with 3 other Christian organizations is nice.  This move allows us to office with lower rent and be even more fiscally responsible.

Praise God the move has been relatively smooth.  Pray for His provision as we unpack, string cables and all the rest of that good "moving stuff" we need to complete to get back in the swing of things.
