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 God for giving class members in the South Carolina Zone the wisdom needed to study the Psalms and receive the encouragement needed to meet each day with enough of all He desires us to receive. Praise God for his abundant provision of helpers, servant leaders, facilities, guidance and more — all pointing to his indescribable glory.
Praise God for the church leaders He has called to serve the youth attending CBS classes in an unnamed country in Latin America and the Caribbean Region. Please pray that as they lead, they experience God’s wisdom and grace, encouraging participants in their spiritual growth.
Praise the Lord that after over a year of waiting and praying, 735 Kirundi Bibles were delivered in October for CBS participants in Burundi. As classes grow, please continue to pray since “there will always be a need for Bibles in Burundi until Jesus returns.” We thank Him for His ongoing provision.
Please pray for God to raise and call up a younger generation of leaders for classes in the Southern California Zone next year.
Please pray that the Lord would raise up North American Ambassadors in the New England/Upstate New York Zone to increase a harvest of righteousness.
Please pray that new leaders in the Northeast Texas & Northern Louisiana Zone will grow in confidence and would have joy as they serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Please pray that the Lord will prepare His people in Samoa to be part of CBS, that those He is calling will respond, and that classes will begin in His perfect timing. Also, pray for wisdom for the Subregion Coordinator as they communicate with contacts there.
Please pray for the ongoing growth of CBS groups in Scotland and for fresh opportunities to emerge. Pray for a new contact person who can help spread the word, support existing groups, and encourage the formation of new ones.
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.
