Join us in this work. Lend us a hand through prayer so that many will give thanks for the gift that comes to us when God answers the prayers of so many. 2 Corinthians 1:11 (VOICE)
March 30th - April 5th
Week 14: Canada Monday (30th) - Brossard:
Our financial results have forced us to reorganise our structure as quickly as possible. We need to close the warehouse and one of our branches, which are both located in the same building in Brossard. As we are bound by a lease, we need to sublet this location. To do this, we are using the services of a real estate agent specialising in the field. Please pray that we might find someone to sublet as soon as possible.
Tuesday (31st) - CLC Book Counters:
As our territory is vast and sparsely populated, we find it difficult to actually take literature to the people living in the outlying regions. Because of this, we are starting a new structure this year - CLC book counters. Halfway between a book shop and a church book table, the counter will be a place where churches and individuals in the area can come and pick up books and other articles. Please pray for the introduction of at least three counters this year.
Wednesday (1st) - Publishing:
Having started publishing books last year, with Josh McDowell’s book More than a Carpenter as our first book, we want to continue in this area. Our goal this year is to start a new project every month. Please pray that we might find good authors and good books that will reach and bless the readers.
Thursday (2nd) - Staff Training:
Last year, we arranged staff training sessions, but on a ‘need’ basis. This year we plan to hold training sessions every quarter. Please pray that the training will be relevant and contribute to improving the service we give to our customers.
Friday (3rd) - Distribution:
We have been distributing to other book shops for the past 20 years. We have specialized in DVDs and games, with only a few books. However, we now want to significantly increase our distribution of books. Please pray that the Lord will open up opportunities for us in this regard.
The Weekend (4th/5th) - ZETeO:
In 2014 we set up a regular event we have called ‘ZETeO’. Zeteo is a Greek word which means ‘to look for’. Every two months we hold a lecture in one of our bookshops. These are given by a guest speaker, based on his or her theological specialty. The speakers are professors or students who have published an academic thesis (masters or doctorate). Pray that our guests will be inspired and able to impart knowledge that can be used to build-up and attract the interest of listeners.
