Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.  Philippians 1:27

Praise the Lord for the new prayer coordinator and the new senior leaders serving on the leadership team in France. Please pray as they settle into their new role.

The Global Leadership Forum was rich and fruitful. Praise God for the content that will be used in retreats and trainings. Please pray that teams will have wisdom to prayerfully use these resources, tailoring them to meet the needs of their leadership teams.

Please pray for potential growth in the northern region of an unnamed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region following the recent country coordinator meeting, where CBS was presented and new collaborations were explored. Also pray for the communities impacted by flooding and ongoing violence over the past three months, asking for healing, stability, and recovery.

Please pray that God will raise up more leaders in Uruguay to step forward and commit to leading new groups. Pray for everyone involved to have a clear understanding of His Word so they can teach and share it effectively.

Please pray that the Lord would raise up a National Coordinator for CBS Mongolia.

Please pray for freedom for CBS leaders and participants to be able to gather together to study God’s Word in countries that are hostile to Christianity.
