CSB Canada National day of Prayer 2023 Starting soon

The 2022 National Day of Prayer concluded in this way...
Praise the Lord!
Our twenty four hours of dedicated intercession for the ministry of Christian Service Brigade across Canada has concluded for another year. And praise the Lord, He has encouraged us in so many ways. The staff of CSB have yet to come together to understand the extent of what God has done for us, but we saw at least four important prayer items answered during the day. There is work to be done and major goals to be attained, but God has given us the confidence to push forward. In fact, He has inspired us to establish a Prayer Team that will bring the needs of all of CSB, local to national, to God's Throne of Grace on a monthly basis. Praise the Lord!


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Lord. Thank you all.

Thank you, Lord, for being our Provider and Protector; for Calling us to do Your Will. Our prayer is that You will make us faithful in pursuing the tasks that You have given us.

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:13

Thank you for joining us. We will report back to you shortly about how God has answered your prayers.

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 with our churches, Units, leaders, families, and supporters, we all 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 these guys will love Him with all their hearts, minds, souls and spirits; that they will grow into men of honour, courage, chivalry, purity, loyalty, obedience, and dedication.
  • Pray against all the fear to participate in church that parents are facing at this time.
  • Pray that the men serving as leaders will be dedicated to Christ, and will be inspired with a variety of 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 final days of Covid 19, which have 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 the Men's Groups; that they will build men, and in turn, that those men will build boys and young men through Brigade.
  • Pray that You, Lord 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. Lord, help churches 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 their weekly meetings.
  • Pray specifically that Bear Creek Community Church will be able to rebuild their Stockade unit.
CSB Canada:
  • Praise you, Lord, for each one of CSB's Donors who have supported Brigade so faithfully over the years, especially those pre-authorized donors, many of whom have supported the ministry financially for decades.
  • Praise you, Lord, for Your provision of the funds from CSB's Special Christmas Fund Raiser, Double Your Impact. Thank you that the goal of $10,000 was exceeded. Pray for wisdom for the Board and Staff on how those funds should be used to advance and grow Brigade's ministry in the days, weeks and months ahead.
  • Pray for CSB Canada, that they will seek You, Lord, with all their hearts, knowing that Your Plans are perfect.
  • Pray for CSB's efforts in "Winning and Training Boys and Young Men for Christ" as they 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 in a partnership with churches. We pray particularly for the communities around CSB's staff members' homes, as it would be easy to reach out to parents and churches there about a ministry to boys and young men.
  • We also ask You, Lord, to give CSB the hard tasks in planting the ministry in faraway places.
  • Pray for open doors and ideas as Brigade develops new ways to connect with churches to the CSB 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, 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 CSB would be able to raise a Team of Prayer Warriors who will regularly pray for the ministry across Canada.

Other Prayer Requests:
  • Pray for Board Members of CSB Canada, Warren Hart, Art Maitland, Gord Lovegrove and Wayne King as they provide the overall leadership and determine the direction of the organization.
  • Pray for our partners south of the border, particularly for Interim President, Dennis Thompson, and all the staff and board members of CSB USA.

Specific Prayer Requests:
  • Pray for wisdom for a dear brother who is serving as the interim pastor at church in Ontario.
  • Pray for two children being adopted; that they will come to know Jesus as their personal Saviour and experience healing from their past trauma.
  • 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 the churches. Pray for one church in particular where the concern is that they do not know their congregation anymore, who remains, who has left, or how many boys or potential leaders for CSB they may have. Pray for those who have decided to stay online for now. Pray that by the fall COVID restrictions will all be removed and that churches would be able to revive their CSB Units by then.
  • Pray for a spiritual revival in our nation starting with our own churches, the 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.
  • Lord, we pray for our country and for a healing of the division that has become so evident in recent days.
  • Lord, we pray for all churches, for the same division that has crept into them.
  • Lord, we pray for the unity of Your people all across this country.
  • Lord, we pray for a revival that causes repentance and results in healing as we truly seek You.
  • Lord, we pray that CSB will serve in growing Your Kingdom by taking the Gospel of Christ to neighbourhoods across Canada.
  • Amen, Lord. Amen!
