ast summer we shared with
you the tremendous need for
books for the schools in Sierra Leone.
We have now completed the first phase
of the project, receiving donations
towards the books. The response has
been tremendous and we are delighted
to have greatly exceeded our target of
10,000 books! This means that instead
of providing 25 schools with library
books, we will be able to provide about
50 schools (300 books per school)! We
are now negotiating book prices and will
be ordering specific books which will be
packed into “school bundles” so that the
volume will be manageable. Since it is
such a huge quantity of books, it will take
some time to prepare the shipment. The
books will then be delivered to our CLC
bookshop in London where they will
need to be stamped to identify them as “Library Project books” and they will then
be repacked together with other donated
Bibles and children’s devotionals. We hope
to have this process completed and ready
for shipping by the end of January so it
can be sent in a container that is scheduled
to leave England in early February. The
team in Sierra Leone should then receive
the container within a month, upon
which they will have the immense task of
distributing the packs to the schools. Pray
that God will then use this written treasure
to reach into the hearts of these children
and begin a process of molding a new
generation of Christ-followers!

In Memorium: Sandy Chantelau , wife of CLC USA advisory board member George Chantelau goes home to be with the Lord.
Sandra J. Chantelau, 59, of Souderton went home to be with the Lord on February 16, 2010. She was the loving wife of George E. Chantelau for almost 42 years.
Born in Sellersville, she was the daughter of Marcus and Blanche (Diehl) Rickert of Souderton.
An outstanding homemaker devoted to her children and grandchildren, Sandy worked with her husband at Chantelau, Inc., a machine shop in Telford. She was a member of Grace Valley Fellowship Church in Valley Forge and served on the missions team. She will be remembered for her generous and selfless spirit and deeply missed by all who loved her.
In addition to her husband and parents, Sandy is survived by four daughters: Marianne J. Williams and her husband Bruce, of Souderton; Joanne G. Chantelau of Franklin, TN; Suzanne M. Chantelau of Sumneytown; and Dianne M. Oetzel and her husband Eric of Quakertown. She will be remembered as Nonni by her four grandsons, Jared, Stephen, Reuben and Branden, and one granddaughter, Ashlyn.
Her funeral service held on Saturday, February 20th was standing room only. One of her dear friends testified that she lived her life by the J.O.Y. principle – Jesus, Others and you. The outpouring of love from her friends was a testament to that reality in her daily life. Please keep George and the rest of his grieving family in your prayers at this time.
CLC USA Welcomes Fourth Church Store
On Sunday, September 20, CLC took on its fourth church bookstore in partnership with Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia. The shop, called Bread of Life Bookstore, is a true team effort, with many CLC staff and Enon volunteers involved. The opening day was wonderful, with guest author Patricia Haley signing her book, Chosen, in the store. Enon Tabernacle Baptist has a special relationship with CLC, as their senior pastor, Dr. Alyn Waller, is the author of the CLC title, Enjoy Your Journey. The church, which seats 5,000 people in its auditorium, has a tremendous ministry in the urban Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia and is committed to both evangelism and discipleship there. Through this, our largest church bookstore at about 2,000 square feet, we look to see how God will use us and it to provide both the resources and support that this church needs to fulfill their vision of making mature disciples through in-reach (Bible study), up-reach (worship), and outreach (meeting the needs of others).
