… for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Praise God for steady growth of the CBS ministry in a location withheld for security purposes in the Middle East/North Africa Region. Please pray for the leadership team, the youth summer outreach, women’s ministry, deaf and blind groups, and the office team.
Praise God for His faithfulness and provision in Paraguay; pray for continued commitment and faithfulness among group leaders and all involved in the ministry nationwide.
Praise the Lord for providing the current and future leaders for classes in the Northeast Texas and North Louisiana Zone. Praise Him that we wait with confidence in His provision for needed leaders to be revealed.
The Philly Metro Zone is grateful for the opportunity to serve God through CBS, witnessing His provision and how His Word transforms lives. We pray that the Lord gives new ST and LC leaders faith and confidence that He has called them and will give them the ability to accomplish all that He has called them to do and that they won’t doubt the call.
Please pray for the Annual Leadership Training in the North Carolina East Zone classes, that it will be a time of fellowship, leadership unity and excitement for what God will reveal to us through our study of the Psalms and may God equip the saints to serve with excellence.
Please pray the Good Shepherd will lead all His Community Bible Study servants in the Arizona/New Mexico Zone to consecrate themselves afresh to the LORD during personal devotional time in preparation for the next study year. (John 15:4 & 2 Corinthians 8:5)
Please pray for God to call people to come to Ethos classes across North America.
Please pray He would make many people aware of these classes and connect with people who would come.
Please pray for the CBS leadership in Austria as they coordinate the logistics, group attendance and group organization for the next class year. Pray also for unity as they combat any spiritual warfare coming against the ministry.
Please pray for the upcoming Francophone Spoken CBS training scheduled this month in Togo. With the exciting opportunity to raise up national training teams for four countries, ask God to grant the trainees diligence and faithfulness as they prepare.
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.
