Pray with the Bibles Societies

JANUARY - Week 5

Bulgaria: Give thanks for the printing and distribution of thousands of Bibles over the last year. Ask that the Word of God may reach many non-Christians, especially young people. Pray also for the final revision of the new Bible translation, thanking God for his guidance during a project which has lasted more than 10 years.

Moldova: Give thanks for God’s protection and blessings during political difficulties here. We continue to pray for the political situation. We also give thanks for the successful distribution of Bibles to public libraries and needy people. Also, we want to praise God for the successful printing of the revised and newly typeset Romanian Cornilescu Bible. Pray for our distribution and fundraising and that, for all those receiving a Bible, it will change their lives.

Ukraine: Please pray for Bible work in this country.

CANADIAN BIBLE SOCIETY PRAYER NEEDS

• Pray that Bible work can continue effectively around the world despite wars, political tensions, changes in religious climate, economic hardship and frequent natural disasters. Pray for Bible work in countries where distribution is restricted or not permitted at all.

• Pray for translation projects in Canada especially the Inuktitut translation. Pray for the Inuit translation team - Benjamin Arreak, Jonas Allooloo, and Joshua Arreak - who have sacrificed much so that their people will receive their long-awaited complete Bible.

• Pray for sufficient financial support from churches, individuals and organizations to maintain Bible translation work, the supply of subsidized or free Scriptures, and other Bible-based programs.

• Praise God for our partner organizations in Canada that provide us with the opportunity to reach out with God's Word to homeless people, immigrants, young people, new readers and many others. Pray that this work will continue and grow.

• Pray for our soldiers in conflict zones around the world. Praise God for Operation Bible, a joint project of the Canadian military and CBS, which is making a complete Bible in camouflage cover available to all soldiers.

• Please continue to pray for all CBS staff and volunteers. Pray for our National Director, Rev Ted Seres, for the Board of Governors, and for all Directors, as they lead our organization in response to God's call.

Remember the work of our partner district in Bermuda.
