Prayers of the People - Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

March 9–15 March 16–22
“So if anyone is in Christ, there is
a new creation: everything old has
passed away; see, everything has
become new!”
—2 Corinthians 5:17
“Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like
the watercourses in the Negeb. May
those who sow in tears reap with
shouts of joy.”
—Psalm 126:4–5
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship assists those called to all types of ministry. For those pursuing a call to church
planting, CBF offers an online cohort twice a year. The cohort facilitates community among potential church planters
while helping them discern their particular call to ministry. In addition, church planting candidates participate in an
annual exploratory conference for more intensive training. Pray that these candidates will realize they are not alone.
Pray that they will discern God’s call and receive the necessary support to follow through with reaching others with
the gospel. To learn more about CBF church starts, visit www.thefellowship.info/Missions/Network/Church-Starts.
