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 God with NY Metro Zone for His blessings and the privilege of studying His Word, so that we can grow alongside one another in truth and light. May He fill every person’s heart with peace, joy and love as He transforms hearts toward faithful living.

Praise God for the excellent, dedicated leadership team in an unnamed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. Please pray that the ministry will continue to expand in this large country and reach more people with the truth of the Gospel despite many daily challenges.

Please join the North Carolina East Zone in praying the Lord would continue to draw younger men and women into our classes as well as give our class leaders creative ideas and ways to create an inviting place for the younger generations to join the life-transforming study Community Bible Study offers.

Please pray for the planning of a Leaders Retreat in January to go well in the Southern California Zone, and for the retreat to be a blessing to the Leaders Council.

Please pray that God will open doors to allow the promotion of CBS on a local Christian radio station in Czechia.

Please pray for the East Asia-Pacific Regional Director and his family to get settled in after their recent move to the Philippines. Pray for God’s blessing upon this move, and that He would continue to order their steps.
