Supported Worker: Kep & Debbie James in Africa, Europe, and the Americas
Details: Praise God that when Kep spoke with Pastor Sebastian in Colombia, Sebastian said that everywhere he goes he sees evidence of God’s grace transforming Colombia as people study the Bible, live it, preach it, and teach it in their local churches. Thank God for the ILC Church planted by Kep and Debbie in La Paz, Bolivia, and pray they will continue to grow as a church grounded in Christ and focused on evangelism and discipleship. Pray for Kep and Debbie as they travel to Fortaleza, Brazil; Montevideo, Uruguay; and then to Peru for ESI leadership and training meetings the last two weeks of September and first week of October. New Caledonia (Pacific). Population: 295,333 Believers: 7.0%. Most Kanaks are Christianized, and most villages have a church, but the gospel is often confused with Western culture. Animist practices usually underlie a Christian veneer. Pray for pastors to discern between tradition and the pure gospel and that a truly biblical, truly Kanak church may continue to grow and demonstrate the power of Jesus over the evil one. Northern Mariana Islands (Pacific). Population: 43,541 Believers: 12.7%. The indigenous Chamorro majority were baptized as Catholics, but their deeper beliefs and worldview betray an underlying animist outlook. Pray that the light of the gospel may shine on this people. Although Catholicism’s influence is waning, evangelical outreach is only recent. Pray for the ministry of the numerous Bible-believing churches from various denominations.
