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 two new CBS classes in Australia. Please pray that the participants will invite others to join in the study of His Word.

Praise the Lord, with the Philly Metro Zone, for wonderful attendance throughout this spring.  Please join a Philly Metro Zone class in prayer for discernment about relocating to a different Host Church and provision amidst robust registrations.

Praise God that the first Lithuania National CBS Conference held last month was a success. Please pray that the connections made among the participants will continue to be a blessing as they serve their communities.

Praise the Lord for a very special time of worship and prayer when the Class Prayer Opening guidelines were used in the Orange Inland California Zone.

Please pray for protection, provision, and God’s peace for dedicated CBS leaders and faithful class participants in an undisclosed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. Pray that amid danger and struggle, they would keep their eyes firmly secured on the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, persevering and continuing to run the race.

Please pray that the Word that was sown into the hearts of every child attending a CBS NextGen class in the Georgia Zone would take deep root and bear much fruit and that our next generation would continue to grow both physically and spiritually in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

Please pray for the Lord to bless the North America Agape leaders and pray for God to open opportunities for new classes, keeping His hand of guidance and direction upon them.

Please pray the Lord will provide wisdom and opportunity for West Texas Zone classes to reach the next generation with the transforming power of the Gospel message.

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.
