… but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Praise God for the many trained leaders ready to serve in a Middle East/North Africa location withheld for security purposes. Please pray that participants will encounter Jesus through God’s Word and that He will guide those affected by regional tensions and visa cancellations.
Praise God that to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. As Ephesians 4:7–8 says, “When He ascended on high, He took many captives and gave gifts to His people.” We praise Him for the gifting of each leader in North America.
Please pray that every CBS leader and participant will faithfully use their God-given gifts with joyous and humble hearts. Through His Spirit, may we strengthen one another, and build up the body of Christ for His glory and fame (1 Chronicles 16:34).
Please pray for leadership development in Honduras and for God to raise up the right team to support ministry growth. Pray that leaders attending training would grow in wisdom and deepen their understanding of God’s Word.
Please pray for the new contacts and groups planning to start this autumn in Finland. Ask God to guide and strengthen these new leaders, bless the formation of these groups, and draw people who are eager to study His Word. Pray for a strong foundation that will lead to lasting spiritual growth and thriving Bible study communities.
Please pray for the Lord’s guidance on resuming CBS in Samoa in His time.
Please pray for peace and stability in an undisclosed country in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region, for those affected by conflict and hardship, and that the ministry would continue to grow. Pray also for wisdom, strength, and God’s provision for ministry leaders and the communities they serve.
Please pray for the health and growth of CBS classes in Cambodia.
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.
