The James Family
James Family August 2016 Prayer & Praise
• Pray for our Equipping Servants “Fundamentos 2016” pastors conferences this month. We’re expecting 600 participants in Santa Cruz (Aug 18-20), La Paz (Aug 25-27), and Huanuco, Peru (Aug 25-27). Please pray for gospel impact as pastor Alex Donnelly from Peru preaches on seeing Jesus in the book of Ruth in Bolivia and Jerry Cross in Peru teaches on living the gospel.
• Pray for the 750 active Equipping Servants participants in Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, and for the 1550 total graduates since 2002, that each church/ministry leader will grow in their desire to honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures discipling believers and reaching the lost with the gospel.
• Pray for the Equipping Servants team starting groups in Uruguay this month. Pray as we train key pastors from Bogota, Colombia and Cajamarca, Peru over the next several months, as well as gear up to train Tacana Indian church leaders in the jungle region of La Paz in September. Pray that we will help church leaders better study, teach and preach the Bible to more effectively disciple believers and mobilize the church to reach the least-reached of Latin America -- so that no one will live or die without hearing the Good News of Jesus.
• Pray for God’s supply for the 2500 Pastor Book Sets needed between now and 2020 to open Equipping Servants in 5 new Latin American countries in the next 5 years in our effort to place Pastor Book Sets in the hands of pastors and church leaders around Latin America and Africa – and train them in the use of these materials.
• Pray that Equipping Servants participants will grow in their love for Jesus with a growing commitment to live on the basis of Christ’s righteousness in obedience to God’s Word.
• Pray for pastor Tomas Diaz as he works with 5 groups of Equipping Servants pastors in Loja, Ecuador. God is using the study of Romans to impact many lives and churches in southern Ecuador.
