Matthew 19:14

Jesus said,“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.



PRAYER & PRAISE

Do you know who Maribel, Daisy, Rainbow and Sabrina are? They are four people among the many who send us email reports of how God is blessing them as they use Bible For Children material in their efforts to reach the children of their country for Jesus. Their particular countries are Peru, Philippines, mainland China and an unnamed French speaking land.

As you read the letters in our Mail From Around The World section, please pray for all who write us. They are brothers and sisters in Christ; precious co-workers; and individuals who need God’s enabling grace to impact their societies. Many live out their witness for Jesus and serve Him in places where governmental hostility to the Gospel makes Christian witness a dangerous task.

Please pray for the countries and people groups you read about in this issue of PrayerLink. And praise God for the many languages, and coworkers who, across the world, benefit from BFC.

BFC Annual Meeting
September 11th, 2015 6:30 p.m.
Faith Church
386 McGregor at Mountain, Winnipeg.

Bring your children along to our annual banquet this year. We would love to have them, and give them a free meal (better than McDonald’s). We will be highlighting some exciting things God has been doing this year. Adult tickets are only $10. We thank Faith Church for allowing us to again use their facilities at 386 McGregor Street. The meal is at 6:30, and we are usually saying goodbye before 8:30 pm.

Mail from around the world

Peru: (translated from Spanish)
Today I went to the bank to resolve some outstanding issues. When I entered I saw that there were many people in front of me, so I sat down and I was waiting my turn. Suddenly a sister appeared delivering some literature, which I read and enjoyed. I asked her where she had gotten this literature. She said from you. I am the leader of a group of children in the church who like to evangelize. I ask humbly for this literature. Maribel

Philippines: I am teaching Bible lessons to kids in my neighborhood. I have about 25-30 children every week, age ranging from 5-13. I came across your website as I was looking for Cebuano materials that I can use. Either a Bible in Cebuano, storybooks, or coloring materials. I'd like to know if you have available materials in Cebuano. Daisy

China: Dear brothers and sisters, I don't know whether you will receive this email or not. I just try it. I am very glad to find this website, because I am finding the lessons to teach the kids in our church, which is located in Liuyang City. Your lessons are very interesting and popular to kids. They love it very much. Here are two of our pictures in the attachment. you can see it. I hope you can help me. If it's difficult to you, it's OK, no problem. Pray my Heavenly Father bless your every work for Him. Jesus loves you. Rainbow

Mauritius: (translated from French)
I like your site Bible for children. I like having the assignment to teach children the Bible. Thank you a lot. Sabrina


Heart to Heart

Once again my wife and I had the joy of travelling together on a short holiday. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia unfolded before us as we drove along and enjoyed God’s beautiful creation. We had to take a long detour in B.C. to avoid a forest fire, but that was all part of the adventure.

We had the privilege of sharing the Gospel at a family reunion, giving Gospels of John to a group of young people from Quebec, and handing Bible Story tracts to many people along the way. Not one person refused to receive our tracts! We pray for each one, that God will bless His Word and save them.

Let us use our brief summers to get out the Gospel wherever we can.


What every one in the world should know about The Gospel of Jesus Christ

It answers the question, "Does God care about me?"
It validates the identity of Jesus of Bethlehem.
It satisfies the legal judgment linked to my sins.
It requires me to put my trust in Jesus alone.
It demonstrates God's sovereign power over death.
It equips me to live my life with a God-pleasing focus.
It fulfils O.T. Messianic 'suffering Servant' prophecies.
It leads Heaven's list of top Praise Songs.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honour and glory and blessing!”
“Blessing and honour and glory and power
Be unto Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
