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

Praise God for a recent and meaningful meeting in Eswatini with a key leader. Please pray for God’s wisdom and insight to establish a strong foundation that will multiply and bear lasting fruit.

Praise God for the privilege of meeting and training two groups in a new location in the Middle East/North Africa Region. Please pray that as these groups are formed, the participants will desire to reach out to others and invite them to join the study.

Praise God for the CBS participants in the South Asia Region. Please pray that they remain committed to the study each week as they learn more about Jesus and His Word.

Praise God for the dedicated youth and young adults who are attending their weekly Spoken CBS classes online in a protected location in the East Asia-Pacific Region. Please pray for transformation in the lives of the attendees and that God would continue to draw more young people to study His Word through these classes.

Praise God for all the new class participants in the Southern California Zone. We praise God for the Children and Youth participants who recite their memory verses each week.

Please pray for the growth of a strong and healthy CBS team in Poland – made up of mature, committed Christians who seek God’s will above all else. May He raise up humble leaders who value the study of His Word, are passionate about sharing the Gospel, and remain open to feedback with a teachable spirit.

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.
