“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live…”  John 11:25

Praise God for a good start to the CBS year in Canada and for His wonderful blessing on the January trainings where leaders recognized and embraced the mission He has called us to. May this leadership development yield abundant fruit for His Kingdom!

In a location that remains confidential for security reasons in the South Asia Region, we rejoice in God’s unwavering faithfulness. A devoted church leader, previously detained under restrictive laws, has now been released. Please pray that God will continue to protect and guide the CBS ministry in this area and throughout the region.

Please pray for the upcoming Area Gatherings and Leaders’ Retreats across the U.S., that there will be great times of connection, encouragement, fun, fellowship, and sharing of ideas.

Please pray that the Lord would open doors to launch new classes in Tonga this year and that He would bring in new participants for the existing classes.

Please pray for the health and well-being of all CBS participants in Sweden, including those considering joining local churches and those facing serious health challenges.

Please pray for our pastors and missionaries in Madagascar who are serving faithfully in areas where they face persecution. Ask God for protection, courage, strength and safe travel as they share His Word.

Please pray for God’s peace and provision in a confidential location within the Middle East/North Africa region, and for continued progress in translating more CBS study materials into their heart language.

Please pray for the upcoming Zoom training sessions for children, youth, and adults in Panama. Pray that the internet connection will work smoothly in all areas and that participants will be receptive to the vision and mission of CBS.

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