For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.  Psalm 62:5

Praise God for the Host Churches who embrace and support the ministry of CBS as they share their facilities with classes each week.

Praise God for using the study of Psalms to clearly show U.S. leaders and participants that He is our only help and is always watching and with us.

Praise God for the training of Spoken CBS in Peru. Please pray that classes will begin and lives will be transformed through this method of studying His Word.

Please pray for the filling of current leadership team vacancies and that God will provide the right people: an additional board member, a staff member, and a new group coordinator for the National Servants Team in the Netherlands.

Please pray for smooth processing of travel documents for young tech-savvy representatives from Tanzania and other countries, so they may attend the CBS Connect launch in Kenya in February. Ask God for guidance and favor in their preparations, that this initiative will bless many communities across Sub-Saharan Africa.

In a country within the Middle East/North Africa Region, not specified due to safety concerns, two new groups have begun meeting after completing their study of Philippians and are now preparing to study Ephesians. Please pray for ongoing fruitfulness, particularly among the women.

Please pray as plans come together to hold a Spoken CBS and Children & Youth training in an undisclosed location in the East Asia-Pacific Region. Pray for the safety of the CBS family and God’s direction in all planning efforts.

Please pray for encouragement and growth in the CBS Connect classes in Haiti. Pray for more leaders and clear communication between Creole-speaking leaders and the regional team.

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.
