As I write, dozens of scholars and church leaders throughout Latin America are writing their allotted section for this unique commentary. I am excited to share that the Latin America Bible Commentary has just received a grant to continue work on this important project: $50,000!!! We are so thankful for the generosity of those who understand the need for this strategic work in Latin America. Please pray with us that this important resource will have a far-reaching impact on Latin America.

Francophone PBS Conference Planning

Written by Joel Purcell

Please continue to uphold those coordinating the Book Set project in the 14 countries receiving the books. Plans are coming together for the conferences to be held in early 2012. This labor of love is incredibly hard and challenging. Pray for these leaders who need our support in prayer as they make many important decisions each day concerning the Francophone PBS.

Written by Joel Purcell

An incredible praise is that an additional book on Christian Ethics has been included into the Francophone Pastor's Book Set by the remarkable effort of Daniel Arnold, the author, who worked tirelessly so that this book would be a blessing to African pastors.
