Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.   2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Praise the Lord for leaders answering His call to serve in the South Carolina Zone for various Servant Team roles and filling the roles needed.

Praise God for needed leadership in the Northern Plains Zone and for the new leaders who have answered His call to serve in this ministry.

Please pray for the servant leaders in the Pacific Northwest as they prepare to begin a new class year with excellence, specifically, that “whatever we do, we would do our work heartily as for the Lord.” Colossians 3:23-24

Please pray for the Western Pennsylvania-Ohio Zone that God would continue to grow their Next-Gen ministries with children and leaders.

Please pray for the Northern Plains Zone classes as they begin the study of Psalms, may God generously equip the Teaching Directors as they prepare their teachings, core leaders as they lead the lesson discussion, participants as they complete their weekly lessons and NextGen classes as they learn about Jesus.

Please pray for God’s anointing and clarity as the team in an unnamed country in the East Asia-Pacific Region works on translating the Book of Psalms for CBS participants. May the translated materials speak to the hearts of those who will study and lead.

Please pray for the opportunity to present the CBS ministry to Baptist church leaders and pastors in Panama.

Please pray for a CBS gathering next month in North Africa. Pray for the Regional Director and his team as they lead, that all will be strengthened and inspired by God’s Word.

Please pray for CBS leaders and participants who have been separated from their families and communities due to persecution for their faith. Pray they trust in the Lord and hold fast to the Gospel knowing that nothing can separate them from God’s love.
