Praise God that the kingdom is growing like yeast and a mustard seed – small but bearing visible fruit.
Praise God for raising up an army of Area Directors and North American Ambassadors who are willing to engage in spiritual battle through prayer for the advancement of the gospel in the Mountain States Zone.
Please pray for the Servants Teams in the Western Pennsylvania-Ohio Zone as they come together to prepare for the coming CBS year. Pray for wisdom, discernment, and unity as they work whole heartily together seeking the Lord’s direction.
Please pray for the many new participants in the Northern Plains Zone to quickly get comfortable in their classes and know that God has called them to this study at this time.
Please pray for teaching directors and associate teaching directors to be strong and courageous in their service, pray that they would run and not grow weary and walk and not be faint. Pray for them to have a mission mindset, and to be bold in proclaiming the truth of the gospel through the study of the Psalms. Help them to find Jesus in every lesson and pray that they would shepherd and love the flock entrusted in their care.
Please pray for God’s provision to translate the materials needed for the CBS family in Romania.

Please pray for the shepherding and ongoing development of CBS zone coordinators in the Europe Region.
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.
