Kep & Debbie August 2025 Prayer Requests
* Praise for the encouraging time we spent with JD Visser and his church planting team in Amsterdam, Holland in July. Pray for El Ark church, as they labor to be a gospel witness in a spiritually dark place.
* Pray for the Costa Rican pastors we spent time with back in June, as they prepare for the upcoming ESI training February 2-6 in San Jose. Pray that the Lord will use our time together to help pastors and church leaders study the Bible to understand the Bible and to live the Bible so they can faithfully teach and preach the Bible in their local churches.
* Praise for the 2 additional ESI groups that began in Italy in May. Many of these participants report that their study of Romans is helping them grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
* Pray for Boris and Marco overseeing 3 ESI groups in Spanish in Virginia and Florida.
