The James Family
James Family May 2017 Prayer Requests
1. Pray for one of our ESI pastors in Oruro, Juan Carlos, who is leading an ESI group of 15 people there. He asks for prayer as he consider starting a church plant in that very spiritually needy and idolatrous city.
2. Pray for our ESI team in Santa Cruz. They are considering starting 10 ESI in 10 strategic towns outside of Santa Cruz in the next few months. There is a great hunger in this region to study God’s Word.
3. Pray for the 10 new groups (150 participants) starting ESI in Bogota, Columbia and the 20 groups (300 participants) starting in Temuco, Chile in July -- and all that this means for May and June, needing to train new facilitators and purchase ESI Pastor Book Sets.
4. Pray for ESI in Santa Cruz, Bolivia as our leaders contact pastoral groups in Brazil and Northern Argentina in June and July to see if there might be interest in starting ESI there in 2018.
5. Pray as we dialogue with a pastoral association in Cuba about the need to train pastors there. The church is growing rapidly but without much knowledge of God’s Word. Pray that the Lord will guide us to know if we should have a part in helping pastors and church leaders in Cuba honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures.
6. Pray for the 40 pastors and church leaders in Temuco, Chile as they study Romans 1-4 in preparation for ESI Facilitator training we’ll be doing in the month of June.
7. Pray for Debbie as she works with women in the ILC Church, for much fruit that remains in their evangelistic effort, and good growth in grace as they disciple these women.
Thank you,
