Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Praise the Lord for the recent expansion in the Eastern Region of Malawi within a large denomination. We are thankful for a successful training of new CBS leaders and pray for fruit to begin to grow in the upcoming season.

Please join us in praising God for additional workers in the vineyard in the Southern California Zone. Please pray that two host church locations will be revealed as we trust in His mighty provision.

Please pray for enlightened, encouraging, and helpful fall leadership training in the Florida North Zone as Servants Teams prepare leaders to care for and provide welcoming environments for all class participants.

Please pray that all Michigan leaders would not forsake their first love for Christ or their love for one another (Revelation 2:4).

Please pray for open and receptive hearts for the “new” that the Lord is doing in the Northeast Texas & Northern Louisiana Zone, and that all leaders and class members will have humility and grace in times of transition and change.

Please pray that the Ambassador’s visit to Wales will be a time of encouragement for the CBS leaders and participants. Pray for safety and good connections during their visit.

Please pray for churches as they begin CBS classes in Costa Rica. Pray that other pastors who have been presented with the methods and materials would adopt the curriculum and ministry vision for their leadership program.

Please pray for CBS leaders and participants studying the Bible in prisons around the world. Pray for them to know the grace and mercy of God as their lives are transformed through the study of His Word.
