So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.  Galatians 6:10

Praise God for the North Carolina West Zone faithful Servants Teams and fantastic teachers bringing the book of Psalms to life through excellent illustrations and transformative applications. Please pray for God to bless and protect the leaders, their families, and their work so they can continue to serve faithfully and give generously.

Praise the LORD for His faithfulness to the ministry of Community Bible Study and for the wisdom He provides for every leader.

Praise God for the continual growth of classes in the New England/Upstate New York Zone. Please pray for the Lord to open doors over the holidays to testify to God’s faithfulness and invite others to Community Bible Study.

Please pray that every Christmas fellowship and Leadership Retreat in the New York Metro Zone will be a time for leaders to draw closer to the Lord and to each other.

Please pray for the Lord to open a way in the Central Plains Zone for 2 classes in need of a NextGen Program and may they not grow weary in the waiting.

Please pray for a fresh awakening in Wales and for a new hunger for God’s Word. Pray that the Lord would draw people to Himself especially during the Christmas season, that the church leaders will proclaim the Gospel clearly and more people will learn the truth about Jesus.

Please pray for the people of Jamaica recovering from the hurricane. Pray that CBS leaders will have their strength renewed as they continue to encourage and serve their classes during this difficult time.

Please pray for the December ambassador trip and the important meeting mid-December in Rwanda, where CBS will be presented to 90 Bishops – 40 already using CBS and 50 considering it for discipleship. May God’s presence guide and be felt throughout the gathering.

Please pray that the CBS ministry would resume in Guam according to the Lord’s perfect timing, and that God would raise up local leaders for the work. Pray for God’s wisdom in recognizing and equipping those He has called to lead.

Please pray for CBS leaders and participants who have been separated from their families and communities due to persecution for their faith. Pray they trust in the Lord and hold fast to the Gospel knowing that nothing can separate them from God’s love.
