- Supported Worker: Kep & Debbie James in Africa, Europe, and the Americas
- Details: Continue to pray for the Equipping Servants International (ESI) Colombia leader, Pastor Sebastian, who led a three-day ESI Facilitator Training in Caracas for 50 Venezuelan pastors. Pray that the launch of ESI will bring hope to that city, where the gospel need is great. In September and October, Kep and Debbie journeyed across South America and then to Africa. Their itinerary included ESI leadership meetings in Fortaleza, Brazil, and Montevideo, Uruguay; retreats in northern and southern South American countries; and an ESI pastors’ conference in Rwanda, Africa. Pray for lasting impact from these meetings and for rest for Kep and Debbie. Turkey (Asia). Population: 86,260,417 Believers: <0.1%. Give praise for the slow but steady growth of Turkish evangelical Christianity. Pray for the evangelism and church planting of the past generation to carry on! Meanwhile, there is a remarkable turning to Christ of migrants from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, who are refugees in Turkey. While ministry to Turks and Kurds is watched closely, there seems to be greater freedom to minister to these refugees. Many are praying that the shaking of the nation from the 2023 earthquakes would trigger a mass movement of people to find and follow Jesus.
