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 safety of the CBS leader who has been under scrutiny in a country that is hostile to Christians in the Middle East/North Africa Region. Please pray for an end to the pressure they are under, and for this person to be a strong witness among new believers.
Praise God for the Training of Trainers participants who have gone out to spread the Word throughout Madagascar. May much fruit be seen.
Please pray for the CBS leaders in the Western Pennsylvania/Ohio Zone to have a deep sense of purpose and impactful service.
Please pray for God to call and equip the leaders needed to establish a national team for the CBS ministry in Bulgaria.
Please pray for the opportunity to share the CBS ministry with the young people representing three churches in Peru. May this encounter result in many youths engaged in the study of His Word.
Please pray on behalf of CBS leaders and participants who are experiencing persecution for their faith. Ask the Lord for mercy for them and for the courage to endure the trials they are facing. Pray they will be aware of God’s presence with them.
