James October 2009 Family Update

Pastors Conferences:

Since 2002 we have held annual regional pastors conferences around Bolivia. This year’s round of conferences focused on the important topic of “Giving proper attention to our marriages in ministry”. Pastor Phil Train was our speaker, & we saw many evidences of God’s grace working in many lives & marriages during these days. Last week we had 100 participants in Cochabamba, & our final conference will take place in 2 weeks in the city of Riberalta in the Amazon. Please pray for much fruit that remains as pastors & church leaders find the right balance between service & family life in the rigors of ministry.
