The James Family

Hi from La Paz! We trust you are well. Thank you for your prayer for our family and ministry. Here are a few specific prayer needs we'd appreciate prayer for this month:

1. We have many upcoming ESI (Equipping Servants) pastors conferences over the next few months. Please pray that we will be an encouragement to pastors and church leaders around Bolivia
- Oruro June 4,5 with Kep on the topic of personal holiness
- La Paz August 25-27 with pastor Jonathan Holmes on the topic of Biblical Counseling
- Santa Cruz August 31-Sept 3 with pastor Roger Smalling on Biblical leadership
- Cochabamba September 8-10 with pastor Roger Smalling on Biblical leadership
- Hopefully Oaxaca, Mexico in October (depending on whether I am able to travel -- see point #3)

• Pray for the ESI (Equipping Servants Internship) participants throughout Bolivia and in Oaxaca, Mexico. Currently we have 650 active participants involved in weekly training, and 350 graduates since we started ESI in 2002. Please pray that many churches will be transformed as pastors and church leaders learn to honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures as they dedicate time to study God’s Word.

• Please pray for Kep and Debbie’s dual Bolivian citizenship process. The Bolivian government has had our passports for 18 months, and there is still no end in sight for this process to finish. Please pray for favor, so that we can be granted dual citizenship, to be able to continue ESI Expansion oversight and other important aspects of our ministry.
