Pray BFF Letter #144
January 24, 2009
Dear Prayer Team,
Increase and Multiply
At the beginning of each year, I wrestle with numbers-not the finances or tax figures. I struggle to set a yearly goal of the number of people around the world who will be impacted by the Biblical Foundations for Freedom web pages. As mentioned in the last letter, God enabled us to surpass last year's goal of 1.5 million page views.
What do we want God to do this year? How many pages will be viewed? Last year the number of BFF web pages viewed increased by 500,000. Stats.jpg)
Our goal was only half of that. So this year we will seek the Lord to give us another 500,000 pages viewed on top of what we actually got last year. That will push it to be roughly 2.25 million pages.
Competition is getting stiff. If BFF does not stay in the top ten page rank for many key words, our goal most likely will not work be met. In today's world, many web pages are without content, just designed to get views for ads. The web pages of BFF are designed to strengthen the faith of God's people. By God's grace we have been able to avoid using ads to make money. Keep praying for us to keep on the cutting-edge of things.
What does this mean for us practically? We need to keep producing quality pages. Thanks to the Lord's grace, this has come easily. We trust Him for grace for the days ahead. There are many exciting materials coming out, including many more BFF video podcasts. (You can now go straight to our webpage and view/hear it).
We will also be producing one-on-one modular discipleship materials. More about that in another letter. Pray for 6,000 page views each and every day.
Pray each day for 6,000 enriching page views!
It is exciting to see how God is working through your prayers! Thanks again for partnering with us in prayer.
Praise
- God has really encouraged us by the increased readership this past year.
- The Discipleship 2 class has gone well. Each lesson is intense and requires about 10 web pages' worth of material with the need to manipulate many images.
- Preaching through Deuteronomy was challenging but wonderful. Thank you so much for your prayers. God seemed to work through the messages.
- God has opened up an opportunity to partner with a larger Christian organization working around the world. They hope to use BFF materials to develop a discipleship training course.
- Everyone in our family is well!
Pray
- Sunday, Jan 25th, Paul will speak on Overcoming Depression and Adopting God's Hope for the last Discipleship 2 class: Reaching Beyond Mediocrity.
- Grace for Brother E. in India who will help us duplicate and ship Libraries for India.
- Volunteers to help BFF with numerous tasks such as sound editing, word editing and Flash.
- Wisdom to finalize itinerary to Africa early this summer.
- Wisdom as I develop modular discipleship materials to be used one-on-one.
In Christ's Majestic Love,
Rev. Paul J. Bucknell
