Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith… Hebrews 12:1
Praise God for the global ministry of CBS, now reaching 1.3 million people in 125 countries and 100 languages. Pray that CBS would continue to reach Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth for His glory, and that changed lives would become faithful witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8).
Please pray for all CBS activities in an unnamed country in Africa during difficult times. Pray for the orphanage primary school where children are exploring the Bible together and some have come to faith in Jesus.
Please pray for Christ followers who continue to seek opportunities to be a blessing and to serve the Lord in their circumstances in a country in the Middle East/North Africa Region.
Please pray that the Lord would give wisdom to the Subregion Coordinators as they plan their next visit to Papua New Guinea to train and encourage local leaders.
Please pray for growing interest in beginning new CBS groups across Norway. Ask God to provide a skilled translator so that updated study materials can be prepared, enabling the ministry to grow and reach more people through His Word.
Please pray for the participants of a Spoken CBS training in an undisclosed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region to be deeply impacted. Pray that they will be strengthened and ready to launch Spoken classes on their communities.
Please pray for CBS leaders and participants who have been separated from their families and communities due to persecution for their faith. Pray they trust in the Lord and hold fast to the Gospel knowing that nothing can separate them from God’s love.
