- Supported Worker: Kep & Debbie James in Africa, Europe, and the Americas
- Details: In October, Kep and Debbie led a marriage conference at the ILC Church in La Paz, Bolivia. Following the conference, Debbie taught at a women’s retreat, also at their Bolivian church.

Continue to pray for the De Ark Church in Amsterdam; for the upcoming ESI Training in San Jose, Costa Rica, in February 2026; for ESI Africa leader Paulo Da Silva as he works with Zambian pastor Isaac Chitibwe; and for Isaac’s wife, Tania, who had thyroid cancer surgery. Zimbabwe (Africa).Population: 16,950,795 Believers: 30.9%.As the church has grown, so have the challenges. Pray for: a) The relationship with the government. b) Social action. With much of the country in decay, it is increasingly falling to churches to feed the hungry, care for orphans, protect the vulnerable, and heal the sick. c) Theological training and education—crucial as the church grows but threatened by widespread instability and want. Pray for effective teaching and discipling of those called to serve the Lord. d) Spiritual unity. Divisions and splits still occur. e) The purity of the church is often compromised by traditional African practices that are incompatible with the gospel, often by outright witchcraft and occult activities.
