For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.  Psalm 62:5

Praise God for supplying such committed Coaches, Group Leaders, and team members to bring the word to the North American Region through CBS Connect.

Praise the Lord for continued growth in our NextGen ministry and for the abundance of faithful participants who support it in the Southern California Zone. For the 2026-27 class year, please pray for God to call and reveal a needed Servants Team leader and new NextGen teachers.

Praise God for the encouraging financial and prayer support from the North American international link classes that make ministry in a confidential country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region possible.

Please pray that leaders and teachers in the Michigan Zone would have wonderful rest during the holiday and that they will be rested and ready to serve in January.

Please pray that God would open hearts and bring more individuals to the men’s CBS group in Germany. Pray that the group will flourish as new participants are welcomed and experience growth as they study His Word.

Please pray for God to call and equip young leaders to serve the growing CBS classes in a country in the Middle East/North Africa Region not named here for safety reasons.

Please pray for the protection of all persecuted Christians in an East Asia-Pacific country not named here for safety reasons. Pray that justice would be upheld for them and that their persecutors would encounter God and experience true transformation.

Please pray for the leaders serving the CBS participants in Uruguay. Pray for encouragement and strength as they lead.

Please pray for God’s sustaining grace for CBS leaders and participants who live in countries hostile to Christians.
