For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. Psalm 62:5
Praise the LORD for His faithfulness to the ministry of CBS and for the wisdom He provides every leader in the Arizona/New Mexico Zone.
Praise God that members of a new evening class in the Philly Metro Zone are already having people agree to come to their Visitors’ Day/Fellowship Night in January.
Praise God for the growth of the expat class meeting in a secured location within the East Asia-Pacific Region. Because of this increase, they were recently able to divide their large group into two separate classes to better accommodate everyone.
Please pray for God’s direction and leading for next year’s planning in the Northern Plains Zone, especially for leadership.
Please pray for a potential new online CBS group to begin in Wales at the beginning of the year. Pray for God to pursue and call the key individuals needed to lead the group.
Please pray for the leader training this month at a Christian school in Haiti. Pray that the training will lead to a new class of staff members.
Please pray for the February Leadership Conference in Kenya to display God’s power, depth, and transforming grace through His Word. Pray for the young adults attending to capture the vision of CBS Connect and guide this project to become a river carrying His truth to many shores, hearts, and nations in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Please pray for God’s wisdom and guidance as CBS regional leaders meet in an unnamed country in the South Asia Region. Pray that their time together will be an encouragement as they begin the new year.
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.
*Please note that our MinistryWide Day of Prayer and Fasting will be next Thursday, January 8.
