Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27

Praise God for two new classes in the New York Metro Zone. May the Holy Spirit fall fresh on these new leaders and participants. Pray that the powerful voice of the Lord would thunder and shake the wilderness of faith in this Zone, creating new birth in every corner through new CBS classes (Psalm 28:8-9).

Praise God for the expansion of the ministry and for the growth and quality of training this year in an undisclosed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. Please pray for safe travels for a leadership team as they go to a large province to train, retrain, and visit classes.

Praise God with the leaders in Canada for His faithfulness and steadfast love as they prepare for the fall start of classes. Pray their leaders and class participants would remain in the Word throughout the summer and for the Lord to guide and bless them so their lives will honor Him.

Please ask God to protect and strengthen the CBS classes in an undisclosed country in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region as they continue meeting in spite of the government’s objection to sharing the gospel.

Please pray for more young people in an undisclosed country in the East Asia-Pacific Region to take an interest in CBS and studying God’s Word. Pray for the Lord to use them mightily to minister to their families and peers.

Please pray for the Servants Teams in the Mountain Pacific Subregion that as they plan for a new class year, there will be unity and a joyful spirit in training CBS class leaders.

Please pray for the many churches in Cote d’Ivoire during this annual season of change and for the continuation of CBS classes during the upcoming moves of some pastors from their churches to new ones. Please ask the Lord to bring pastors who are also passionate about CBS and seeing their congregants engaged in in-depth Bible study.

Please pray for the Spirit of the Lord to be with CBS leaders and participants around the world who are not free to openly follow Jesus. Pray that they will be empowered by the Lord to stand in the face of opposition and hold fast to the hope of their eternal reward in Christ Jesus.
