Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.  2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” 2 Cor. 1:3-4

Praise God for the Servants Teams in the Central Plains Zone as they so faithfully serve their classes to bring the Word of God to Life.

Praise God for a fruitful time with the deaf community in an unnamed country in the Middle East/North Africa Region. Please pray that the CBS participants will continue to grow spiritually as they study His Word together.

Please pray NextGen leaders, participants, and all in CBS would dwell together in unity, so God’s blessing will be lived out forevermore.

Please pray that all Canada Zone leaders serve the Lord faithfully in relationship building, clear communication, unity and love (with great joy), while trusting the Lord to give us guidance and discernment in shepherding those to be called into succession leadership.

Please pray that Class visits and Leaders Council visits by Area Directors in the Florida North Zone will be encouraging and helpful to Servants Team members, and that these visits will enable them to serve in their roles with excellence and confidence as they trust in God’s provision.

Please pray for growth in our NextGen program in the Los Angeles & Hawaii Zone. Please pray for the Lord to comfort and bring peace to the Michigan Zone leaders and/or family members with health struggles or loss of loved ones.

Please pray for the translator serving in an unnamed country in the East Asia-Pacific Region as they diligently work to translate the study of Psalms into the heart language of the participants. Pray that they will be able to complete each week’s study in time for immediate use.

Please pray for God’s wisdom and direction as CBS key leaders gather in an unnamed country in the South Asia Region to engage in prayer and strategic planning for 2026. Pray for protection over all who attend, and that this gathering would lay a strong foundation for the future work ahead.

Please pray that as CBS participants in South Sudan learn about God as peacemaker and reconciler, they will see His peace in their country. Praise God for open doors for new leadership to develop!
