Firming Up Our Foundation
Dear Prayer Partners, Nov 4, 2026
God continues to startle me with the many great changes taking place in the distribution of BFF Christian training resources. When we began 25 years ago, we couldn’t even imagine the biblical training resources to offer to the world. AI has enabled us to open our throttle and move throughout the world with our translated resources in a much more winsome, encouraging way, even into countries we never could reach.
This is just the beginning, and I’m working hard to firm up the foundation to support the many international resources coming. We are getting a mere taste of what those changes mean. Pray for us!
Praise
- We had a great BFF Board meeting.
- Our Pittsburgh trip was wonderful, with the opportunity to preach at the PCC mother church’s mission conference and OIF’s worship service.
- A brother volunteered to further improve our website!
- Praise the Lord for more resources being posted in Odia and Oromo languages.
- Here is the second of 3 videos celebrating how God has worked through BFF over the past 25 years. This one focuses on how God marvelously began BFF and sustained it through the years.

Pray
- Paul will preach the next two Sundays in November, one in English, the other in Chinese.
- Pray for new leaders. BFF is growing and needs assistance to reach God’s goals. Though Paul isn’t retiring yet, he wants to train someone to take BFF further around the world.
- Pray for Linda’s right knee. The pain doesn’t want to go away.
- We are praying for responsible, godly leaders to evaluate BFF’s newly translated resources for many new languages.
- Pray for God’s greatest blessings on our children, some going through difficult transitional times.
