So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:10

Praise God for the influx of new people into our CBS community.

Praise God for the faithful ministry among a longstanding Christian community in a Middle East/North Africa country withheld to ensure the safety of local partners. Please pray for new connections and opportunities to expand Bible studies in their heart language.

Please pray for our classes in North America as new members blend into the smaller groups. We know that true vulnerability and trust take time, so we ask for Your Holy Spirit to accelerate the bonding process. Create an atmosphere of safety, warmth, and grace where no one feels like an outsider. Help the participants listen deeply, laugh freely, and carry one another’s burdens. May the core groups become sacred spaces of tight-knit, Christ-centered community. The Next Gen participants will feel comfortable, cared for and confident in their core groups.

Please pray for strong and growing CBS groups in an undisclosed country in the Latin America & the Caribbean Region. Pray also for strength, wisdom, and provision for leaders and participants as they share the hope of the Gospel amid challenging circumstances.

Please pray for new CBS groups to begin in Croatia and for God to open doors to people eager to study His Word. Ask Him to raise up committed leaders and establish a thriving CBS ministry in this country.

Please pray that the Lord would guide the translation of CBS materials into Tongan with clarity and care.

Please pray for peace and stability in Zambia, for wisdom as new leaders step into their roles, and for fruitful ministry partnerships and training opportunities. Pray that God would strengthen and guide leaders as His Word continues to transform lives.

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.
