“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live…” John 11:25

Praise God for the new Children & Youth ministry that has launched in two additional churches in Zambia. Please pray for God’s guidance as leaders continue engagement with another church considering CBS curriculum and methodology.

Praise God for the availability of the CBS Matthew study to be translated into many different languages. Please pray that in the North American Region the Lord would draw many foreign language speakers and English learners into CBS classes especially classes with Ethnos Core Groups.

Praise God for the leaders that have been raised in the Western Pennsylvania and Ohio Zone.

Please pray that the Leadership Training in the Florida North Zone will equip leaders to serve with excellence in their roles and unite the hearts of the leaders as they prepare for the class year.

Please pray that the CBS ministry will serve as a refuge and a light in the darkness for those living in an extremely difficult time in an undisclosed country in the Middle East/North Africa Region.

Please pray for the four people considering serving the CBS family on the national team in Costa Rica. Pray for God’s direction as decisions are being made.

Please pray for the Lord’s favor to be poured out on the new Edmond, Oklahoma class in the Oklahoma & Arkansas Zone as they begin offering CBS in their community and that many adults and children will be transformed by Jesus as they encounter Him through His Word.

Please pray for the Europe Regional Director as he travels to the Netherlands this month. Pray for safe travel and productive connections with CBS leaders as well as others that have expressed interest in CBS materials and methods.

Please pray for the protection of the CBS leaders and participants in the many countries hostile to Christians. Ask God to strengthen them and encourage them to persevere in spite of persecution.
