Please pray for the next steps of creating In-Prison guidebooks for the ministry. The team is trusting the Lord for clarity, purpose, and discernment on how to write for this audience and meet the required needs. Praise God for the training, editing, and administrative team He has raised up. A unified structure of committed servants is being used to strengthen and fine-tune training to meet the needs of the field (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12).

Please pray for two upcoming gatherings in Taiwan: a CBS small group leaders’ gathering and a pastors’ gathering. Please pray for good attendance and for the presentation of CBS to the pastors who will be attending the latter.
Please pray for the Spirit of the Lord to be with CBS leaders and participants around the world who are not free to openly follow Jesus. Pray that they will be empowered by the Lord to stand in the face of opposition and hold fast to the hope of their eternal reward in Christ Jesus.
