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

Praise God that His Word permeates the whole world through the Internet - even countries where godless rulers and governments oppose.

Pray that Bible for Children stories will impact the lives of children in Cuba, in ‘closed countries’, in the lands named in “Mail from around the World” column, and amongst all the world’s peoples.

Pray for the children in your own sphere of interest. Children in your family, in your neighbourhood, and in Canada and North America are amongst ‘the world’s children’. They also need to be brought to Jesus.

Praise God for ever-increasing opportunities to share Jesus with the millions of children who are accessible through the Internet, and who are being reached through BFC website.

Pray for the staff, volunteers and supporters of BFC.

More Languages

This is our constant prayer. Dear Lord, please send us more translators. More languages. More children to hear about Jesus.

There is a major organization that is producing educational material for the Internet for many languages in Africa. Bible for Children has stories in many African languages which this group should welcome. However, they are secular, so will they welcome us?

We are asking you to pray for this opportunity. We need your prayer support before moving ahead. Then we will approach the group in about a month. Thank you!

For those in the Winnipeg area.

Cuba in World News

Bible For Children - Your favorite stories, absolutely free.


For some years now, friends of BFC from Winnipeg churches have been distributing Bible Stories while vacationing in Cuba. Evangelical pastors of house churches there have expressed their appreciation of the material and of the love and prayers of those ‘messengers’ of hope.

In a US Today article posted on the Internet on Sept 22, 2015, journalist Alan Gomez notes that, “While the constitution and government that Castro ... established after taking over the island in 1959 allowed for freedom of religion, that wasn't the case in practice. The ruling Communist Party ... closed churches, nationalized properties owned by religious organizations and forced the faithful underground.”

Still God’s Word bore fruit, and God’s Work thrived. Now that Cuba has restored diplomatic relations with USA, opportunities for helping the Cuban body of believers in Jesus have increased.

BFC rejoices to provide Spanish-language Bible stories for the dear brothers and sisters who labour in the Lord in Cuba. Demongraphically, of the over eleven million population there, 16% (close to two million) are under age 14.

 


Mail from around the World

Mexico [translated from Spanish]
God bless you dear brothers. A brother from Peru told me about your Bible stories. Can you please help us with brochures for children to evangelize our city and to share with other brothers who are engaged in preaching the Gospel? I hope in the Lord you can help us extend the Kingdom of God in Nuevo Laredo. God bless you greatly! Luis

Netherlands: [translated from Dutch]
What a wonderful website with wonderful stories! I would like the story of the calling of the twelve disciples to tell at the children's evangelism. I was wondering if you also have a text only document of this available, so I do not need to print the whole story with pictures. I look forward to your response. Anne-Marie

Peru [translated from Spanish]
Greetings in Christ. Can you please can send me a box with tracts in Spanish to evangelize? Thank you for your effective literature for evangelism, which helps us to present Christ to many non-Christians. God bless you. Yesenia

Cuba: [translated from Spanish]
Dear brothers: We greet you from the Evangelicals of Cuba. We thank God for your Ministry in the promotion and dissemination of biblical material. We’d like some of the materials that you share to make a work tool for evangelism for our Biblical Theological Seminary here in Cuba. Daylanis (Dean of the Seminary.)

England: I run a Christian ministry that takes tracts all over the U.K. My daughters have recently started their own ministry that concentrate on young children and youth. The reason for this email is to ask if my daughters may put their ministry details in the blank squares on your tracts and they would love to put your ministry web site onto their site so others could click onto it and be directed onto your site. Also the kids would be grateful to receive some of your coloured tracts. Pastor Stuart

Pakistan: Hi I am from Pakistan. I running a kids ministry in Pakistan. I have 42 Sunday school. I need a urdu Sunday school books. please send me a books and pray for my ministry. reply me. God Bless you and you work. Sagar

Haiti: My husband and I are part of an organization called “His Kids”, an orphanage in Jacmel. We actually are raising 20 children from age 4 to 9. We are in need of Bible for these children. Would you be able to provide a couple of French Bibles for them to share? Michelle

Gabon: [translated from French]
Good morning, may God’s peace be with you. I am Gabonese, residing in Gabon, a French speaking country. I would like to know how to get the bible for children.


Heart to Heart

Mary-Anne and I have just celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary - 45 years of God’s wonderful unfailing grace. We were already married when God intervened and brought the light of the Gospel to our lives, first saving me and then my dear wife.

God’s blessings continued as He led us into ministry in our local church and finally called us to leave the job I held in the Federal Government (engineer) and follow His will into full-time Christian ministry. Through it all, God has blessed us and our dear precious children and grandchildren.

Mary-Anne, my true help-mate, has stayed by my side as God took us through many challenging times and difficult decisions. She has travelled many miles as we represented various ministries over the years.

At this special anniversary time, we look back with deep gratitude and look forward with joyful anticipation. Our hearts are full of praise as we reflect on His Lordship and leading in the past - and His glorious promises for the future. Both of us would say one thing to summarize our life together: “God is faithful”. Greg
