In Myanmar, CB Global is connected with two ministries. Pastor Go, one of our pastors there, wrote about his trip to Taiwan to attend the missions conference at a CB Taiwan church. He wrote.... "This year, in September, thanks to Wuchang Baptist Church and Pastor John Kou, the Lord opened the door for us to visit CB Taiwan. In November, we visited Myanmar Refugees in Malaysia.
Prayer requests:
- Pray for Myanmar refugees in Malaysia. Some of them have a UNHR card. Card holders are safe to go everywhere in Malaysia, and it's easy to get job. But people without this card are not safe and live in fear. They are hungry for God and God’s protection.
- Pray for Myanmar's peace and tranquility.
- Pray for Myanmar church planting and missions. Every mission organization is working to reach the nation for Christ. “With approximately 48 million Buddhists, Myanmar has the third largest Buddhist population in the world, after Thailand and China.”
- Pray for our children's camp which will be conducted in the last week of March, 2026. We expect 200 children may be gathering.
In His Vineyard,
Pastor Go

Nine Latin American church networks that have joined CB Global in 2025—spanning from Argentina to El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru—highlighted the expanding impact of their shared mission to spread the gospel. Let's be in prayer for these dedicated leaders, reaffirming CB Global's unwavering commitment to uplifting and supporting church communities worldwide through our shared faith and outreach.

Pastor Elvis Dominguez is a dedicated leader of Abundant Life Baptist Church in Guatemala and a vital part of the Abundant Life Network, which is part of CB Global. They are embarking on an inspiring new church plant initiative that calls for our collective spirit of support and prayer. As he envisions a new section of the church building that will serve as a nurturing classroom for children, providing a space for Sunday School and various community activities, we are reminded of the profound impact this initiative will have on the lives of many families in the area. Pastor Elvis, who selflessly balances his role as a bi-vocational school teacher while investing his personal finances into the ministry, exemplifies the unwavering commitment and dedication that resonate deeply within the values of the CB Global. | |
Pastor Rigoberto and Claudia Reyes have been serving in Nicaragua for years with a network of CB churches who joined CB Global in 2013. His ministry has expanded to include 30-40 leaders across 12 countries, overseeing around 500 churches. One of the main challenges they face is the lack of formal theological education, with over 90% of ministry leaders in Nicaragua and similar numbers across the region lacking this training. To address this, they aim to strengthen key leaders advancing to higher education (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees) and expand theological education to new countries through their program, Biblical Education for Expansion (BEE). Over the next five years, their focus will be on developing these priorities to help expand and deepen the Gospel’s reach in Latin America.
