Prayer Requests 2022:

Local CSB Ministries across Canada:

• Pray that CSB in local churches will continue to Win and Train Boys and Young Men for Christ, and that together we will be fervently Building Godly Men of Today and Tomorrow.
• Pray for the boys and young men in Christian Service Brigade as they form life-changing relationships with the Lord Jesus Christ; that they will love Him with all their hearts, minds, souls and spirits; that they will grow into men of honour, courage, courtesy, purity, loyalty, obedience, and dedication.
• Pray against all the fear to participate that parents are facing at this time.
• Pray the men serving as leaders will be dedicated to Christ, and will be inspired with ways to touch the hearts of boys and their parents.
• Pray for the weekend and summer camps that Brigade boys get involved with. That they will provide a powerful way of connecting children with Jesus Christ.
• Pray for safety as our Brigade leaders, boys and families continue to  cope with the restrictions being applied to all of us during these days of Covid 19 that have virtually eliminated many of our CSB activities.
• Pray for the men in local churches to step into their roles as providers and protectors, and as prayer warriors for the people in their communities.
• Pray for our Men's Group; that it will build men and that it will build men who build boys through Brigade.
• Pray that God will stir up church leadership to give the men in their churches opportunities to disciple and mentor boys to manhood through action-packed, Christ-honouring, geared-to-boys ministry programs.
• Pray that there will be a resurgence of effort to reach out to the boys (and girls) in church communities. Churches should take the Gospel to their neighbours.
• Pray that doors will be opened in families and in the community as local Christian Service Brigade groups take the Gospel home from the weekly meetings.
• Pray that Bear Creek Community Church will be able to rebuild their Stockade unit.
  

CSB Canada:

• Praise the Lord for each one of our Donors who have supported us so faithfully over the years, especially our monthly pre-authorized donors, many of whom have supported the ministry financially for decades.
• Praise The Lord for His provision of the funds from our Special Christmas Fund Raiser, Double Your Impact. Our goal of $10,000 was exceeded, the greatest amount received in recent years for year-end appeal. Pray for wisdom  for the Board and Staff on how those funds should be used to advance and grow our ministry in the days ahead.
• Pray for CSB Canada as we desire to seek the Lord with all our hearts, knowing that His Plans for us are perfect.
• Pray for our efforts in "Winning and Training Boys and Young Men for Christ" as we encourage men and CSB leaders to be effective in their churches and ministries, families and communities to be mighty Men of God and worthy Christ-followers.
• Pray for the expansion of CSB to more churches in Canada. Pray that this ministry will continue to raise up multiple generations of Christ-following boys and young men is a partnership with churches. We are particularly focused on the communities around our staff members where it would be easy to reach out to parents and churches about a ministry to their boys.
• We also ask the Lord to give us the hard tasks to plant the ministry in faraway places.
• Pray for open doors and ideas as Brigade develops new ways to connect with churches with our ministry programs and discipleship materials.
• Pray for CSB's work in Men's Ministry for the building of men within local churches to serve Jesus Christ across the country and starting with the boys in their own churches.
• Pray that CSB Canada would be able to establish a network of contacts with former leaders, Pastors, boys and young men, especially Heralds of Christ, and get them involved as ambassadors for CSB as part of the revitalization of this ministry across Canada.   
• Pray that we would be able to raise a Team of Prayer Warriors who will regularly pray for the ministry across Canada.

• Pray for an organic flour mill business start up, that God will lead and guide the building of the business for His glory.
• Pray for all of our Churches. We do not know our congregations anymore, who remains, who has left, or how many boys or potential leaders for CSB we may have. Some folks have decided to stay online for now. Pray that by fall COVID restrictions would all be removed and that churches would be able to revive their CSB by then.
• Pray for a spiritual revival in our nation starting with our churches, our Brigade groups, our communities, and our nation and its institutions.
• From a Board Member - When we think about building CSB, I want to remind us all of what we have seen God do with Iron Sharpens Iron in BC. What we saw Him do with Dr Chuck Stecker in BC. What we have seen Him do in our Units when we listen to Him. What He did with CSB in the 60’s and 70’s, He can do it again. When we step out in faith and look to Him to show us the way and provide for that way what ever it is. CSB Canada was planted by men stepping out in faith. I feel we need to do that again. We need to listen to God calling us and not fear but trust as He leads us. Knowing He will provide. I would remind us all to pray. Pray with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul.
  
• Like a lot of churches, we do not know our congregation anymore: who remains and who has left, or how many boys or potential leaders for CSB we may have. Some folks have decided to stay online for now. Some have left. I was hoping to know by the Fall, assuming COVID restrictions are removed, if we are able to revive CSB by then. We need Church revival as well as CSB here in our community.
