- Details: Pray that God will give Pastor Pepe Rocha a deep passion for Christ in his pastoral ministry in the ILC Church in La Paz, Bolivia. Pray that the fruit of this discipleship will be a mature church committed to evangelistic effort taking the Good News of Christ to unbelieving people across Latin America. Debbie and Kep had a wonderful time with the ESI Chile team in the city of Temuco in April. There were 52 facilitators present at the Facilitator Training, and there is great interest in starting new ESI groups in Santiago, Concepcion and Valparaiso, Chile. Pray for Debbie’s work of evangelism and discipleship with the women in the ILC Church for much fruit that remains. Germany (Europe). Theological education was a major cause of decline in the national Church, because the unchallenged monopoly of state-endorsed academic training and the continued influence of higher criticism undermined confidence in God’s Word. Pray for more professors who openly proclaim the Truth in these institutions, and pray for greater numbers of evangelical students in what used to be spiritual morgues. Pray also for the many Bible colleges, seminaries and training institutions that retain a closer adherence to biblical truth; pray that effective and practical ministry training might also occur.
