Kep and Debbie James in La Paz, Bolivia
Pray for Kep and the team as they 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 them to know if they should have a part in helping pastors and church leaders in Cuba honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures. 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. Also pray for their adult children who are involved in multiple aspects of ministry.
