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 using CBS Connect to draw to himself people who are new to CBS and/or new to Bible study.

Praise God for the safe and successful Zone and Country Coordinators Conference in Tanzania. Please pray for the upcoming trainings and new leaders who have volunteered to serve with the Children & Youth ministry. May God use them mightily.

Praise the Lord for the new Genesis resources available across North America. Please pray that the teaching helps, media resources, leadership development ideas, and Core Group discussion tools will build excitement for the study and lead to transformed lives through God’s Word.

Please pray that the Lord would expand the ministry of CBS in South Korea. Pray for opportunities to collaborate with other Christian organizations in the country.

Please pray for CBS in Serbia, that God would raise up young leaders to serve, bring greater balance with more men involved, and draw more people to study His Word through CBS.

In a country whose name is withheld for security reasons, about 50 participants received certificates after completing the study of Luke. Please pray that God will strengthen, provide for, and encourage them as they continue studying His Word in challenging circumstances.

Please pray for the physical and emotional health of all the CBS leaders who serve in Brazil. May God strengthen them and help them face the concerns and pressures of daily life with wisdom and serenity.

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.
