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 the few CBS classes that exist in Panama; may God continue to encourage and strengthen them to keep moving forward in the study of His Word. May He call and equip the leaders needed for the national team.
Praise God for the CBS group of young couples meeting in an unnamed country in the Middle East/North Africa Region. Please pray that the participants will invite others to join the group and that they remain committed to the study of His Word.

Please pray for leadership needs in the Florida North Zone, that Servants Teams will wait expectantly and recognize whom God is calling to serve and in the meanwhile give strength and endurance to those taking on additional leadership responsibilities as new leaders are called.

Please pray that every class participant in the New York Metro Zone would value and be blessed by their time serving in their Nextgen classes. May every participant consider it a privilege to humbly serve our children.

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.
