You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

Praise God for upcoming leadership training and a new ministry partnership in an undisclosed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. Please pray for continued growth through God’s Word, wisdom for leaders, and God’s protection and peace for ministry leaders, volunteers, and their families.

Praise the Lord for the interest in men’s groups in North America. We also thank God for His provision of new opportunities to make in-person CBS available to men.

Canada’s Men’s class seeks prayer for growth, and that God brings back former class members and new men to the Class. Please pray for more core group leaders to lead in-person and join us as we pray for the salvation of men who have not yet committed their lives to Jesus. Please pray for intentional shepherding and modeling of the Christian life to these men and to all.

Please pray for God’s guidance as leaders prepare for upcoming youth and teen training opportunities in Ecuador. Ask Him to provide wisdom, creativity, and clear direction to reach more young people through Bible study.

Please pray for a church leader in Northern Ireland who is helping introduce CBS studies to local churches. Ask God to bless this partnership and draw many people to study His Word together.

Please pray that God would strengthen the leaders in an unnamed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region who serve in Spoken CBS as they learn and share Scripture and raise up dedicated volunteers to support this work. Please also pray that God would provide additional volunteers to serve in prison ministry so that more people may be reached with the hope of His Word.

Please pray for the preparations for the upcoming leadership training in Mongolia. Pray that the Lord would clearly identify those whom He has called to serve in various roles.

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.
