In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16

The North Carolina West Zone is praising God for the freedom we have in our country to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Praise God for establishing two new potential In-Prison Remote Core Groups in two separate women’s facilities in the New York Metro Zone. Please pray that He has already begun the cultivation process in the hearts of these women to taste and receive the feast He has prepared for them.

Praise God that the CBS group in Portugal has begun a second study. Please pray that the Lord, in His perfect timing, will raise up a dedicated leader to shepherd and inspire this blossoming community.

Please join us in praying for unity in our country; and for our Servants Team’s continued reliance on God as they plan for training for our growing leaders’ councils.

Please pray for God to use the upcoming annual training days to align hearts with His for a successful CBS year in the Arizona/New Mexico Zone.

Please pray that all participants and leaders in Western Pennsylvania-Ohio continue to thirst for His presence as they consistently seek Him in the Word and in prayer. (Psalm 63:1).

Please pray that in the Northeast Texas & Northern Louisiana Zone the Lord will bring prodigal sons and daughters back home to relationship with Jesus.

Please pray that Kenyan regional coordinators will bring encouragement, clarity, and joy back to the CBS leaders in their own areas after the gathering with the Sub-Saharan Africa leadership team last month. Pray that they will grow even more confident in the mighty work God is doing and effectively shepherd their leaders who are facing difficulties and discouragement.

Please pray that the CBS materials needed for the new group in a school in Haiti will be translated, formatted, printed and sent to the school in time for the October start date.

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.
