Kep & Debbie July 2025 Update
We are thankful to God for your partnership in the gospel with us as we seek to help pastors honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures. Here are specific ways you can pray for the 3,000 pastors and church leaders studying Romans with us in 37 countries.
* Praise for the encouraging visit that Debbie and I made to pastors in Costa Rica a few weeks ago. We were there with Paulo and Jose -- and met several groups of pastors and pastoral associations. Many recognize the damage they have caused shifting away from the Bible over the past 40 years and promoting Prosperity Heresy in their churches. Many expressed a desire to join ESI and to start studying Romans with us. Please pray for the ESI training we are planning in San Jose in February 2026.
* Pray for Debbie, me and Rusty Johnson July 4-10 in Amsterdam meeting with Dutch pastors and church leaders, that God would awaken in their hearts a desire to study the Bible in ESI groups.
* Pray for Paulo as he follows up with pastors he trained in Islamabad, Pakistan who have expressed a desire to study the Bible in ESI groups.
