- Supported Worker: Kep & Debbie James
- Country: Bolivia
- Details: Pray for Kep and Debbie as they return to Bolivia May 22. They are thankful that they were able to get vaccinated before leaving. Growing COVID-19 numbers in La Paz mean that many things have closed again, including their church building. Pray for Debbie as she works with the women’s ministry team in the ILC church. Pray for gospel impact in many lives as they evangelize and disciple women in La Paz. Pray for Pastor Pepe and the elders of the ILC church, that they will be passionate about Jesus, leading the flock by their example, focused on the gospel in their preaching and teaching, and growing in gospel outreach. Luxembourg (Europe). Population: 549,839 Believers: 0.5%. The growth of other faiths presents a challenge to traditional faith. Pray that believers in the Lord Jesus might seek and make use of chances to share the gospel and help shape the nation according to biblical principles. Maldives (Asia). Population: 361,689 Believers: 0.1%. Persecution of believers is intense. Any Maldivian practicing Christianity can expect mockery, ostracism, incarceration, and even torture. Pray for those who believe—for their protection, their courage in the face of great trials, and for opportunities to grow in and spread their faith.
