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

Praise God for the unity of the CBS team in the Dominican Republic, who with humility and dedication serve in every class: the coordinators, teachers, facilitators, and children’s ministry, all moving forward each week with one spirit to see lives transformed by the Word of God.

Praise God for the widespread desire to see CBS classes expand across Madagascar. Please continue to pray for a peaceful solution to the ongoing challenges related to accessing water and electricity.

Praise God for new vision and inspiration given by the Lord to the CBS Canada Zone team at the Global Leadership Forum. Please pray that we will go forth in utter dependence on the Lord, following only where He leads, so that the lives transformed by God’s Word through the CBS ministry will not be limited to “scattered little pockets”, but that the fire of revival and repentance will burn across this nation (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Praise God that the Northern Plains classes have the needed class leaders to give participants the best CBS experience.

Please pray NextGen participants will be steadfast and resolute to study God’s Word as the holiday season approaches.

Please pray for unity among leadership team members in the Florida North Zone as they continually seek to serve their class participants each week with joy and excellence.

Please pray that all leaders and participants in the Orange Inland California Zone will be built up in their faith through the study of Psalms. May we enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise, delighting in the word of God, mature in our walk with Jesus.

Please pray for God to reveal who he is calling to servant team roles for a future class in the New England/Upstate New York Zone.

Please pray for the young adults who meet online for their Spoken CBS class in an unspecified country in the East Asia-Pacific Region. Pray that God would raise up more young leaders as they increase in number.

Please pray for the CBS leaders in El Salvador, that those teaching the CBS Discipleship Program across various ministries stay uplifted and motivated to keep sharing God’s Word throughout the coming year.

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.
