“I wash my hands in innocence,
and go around your altar, O
LORD, singing aloud a song of
thanksgiving, and telling all your
wondrous deeds.”
—Psalm 26:6–7
“Let your work be manifest to your
servants, and your glorious power
to their children. Let the favor of
the Lord our God be upon us, and
prosper for us the work of our
hands—O prosper the work of our
hands!”
—Psalm 90:16–17

People from Serbia, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Bali, the United States, Germany, India, and New Zealand come
to Bali, diverse in culture and faith, to study the arts or build a life. Many come seeking a spiritual connection on
the fabled island, but after a while, they look for community. CBF field personnel Jonathan and Tina Bailey minister
through the arts to people of all faith, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds living in Bali. Whether through music,
painting, dance, exhibitions, or concerts, art brings people together and offers them the space to build community
across religious, ethnic, and personal boundaries. Residents form relationships and meet one another’s physical and
spiritual needs. They share spiritual journeys where Christ is found. Pray that residents of Bali will find their life in
the God of grace, love, and peace. Learn more at www.thefellowship.info/jonathantina.
No page at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, gets CBF-endorsed chaplain Reagan White’s
heart racing faster than an emergency alert. In the emergency room many families face the worst day of their lives
as medical personnel fight to save their loved ones. Parents stand thunderstruck as they watch doctors working
feverishly to pull their child back from the brink of death. In these moments, when strands of hope begin to fade,
many families cry out for answers or understanding. Where no suitable answer exists, White and other chaplains
offer assurances of God’s continuing love. Pray for God’s continued work in often-desperate circumstances at Cook
Children’s Medical Center. Pray for Reagan White as he ministers among the hurting and hopeful alike.
