Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.  2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Praise God for providing the Western Pennsylvania/Ohio Zone classes with host churches who lovingly provide for and serve their CBS classes.

Praise the Lord for guiding the Central Plains Zone to fulfill His Vision of transforming lives through the Word of God.

Praise God for the well-attended recent CBS launch trainings in Zambia, and pray that newly trained leaders are filled with passion, boldness, and confidence to begin new classes. Please also continue to lift up the need for God-called servant leaders to serve as Country Coordinators.

Please pray for the potential collaboration with a Christian student movement in Spain. Pray that this momentum will continue, and that progress will be sustained as these relationships develop.

Please pray for God’s presence and guidance during the regional prayer meeting held this month in Argentina.

Please pray that the Subregion Coordinator would be granted wisdom in reaching out and communicating with contacts in Vanuatu. Pray also for doors to open to launch classes and share CBS with additional ministries through these relationships.

Please pray for the opportunity to present CBS at a graduate school in an unnamed country in the South Asia Region. Pray for God’s favor and that the fruit of this encounter will result in many people studying the Word of God.

Please pray for the protection of the CBS leaders and participants in the many countries hostile to Christians. Ask God to strengthen them and encourage them to persevere in spite of persecution.
