Kep & Debbie May 2025 Prayer Requests
* Praise for the 45 Italian pastors we took through the ESI Facilitator Training in Florence in March. They have now begun 2 ESI groups, and many report how their study of Romans is helping them to grow in grace and gospel transformation.
* Pray for Boris and Marco as they lead 3 ESI groups of Spanish speaking pastors in Virginia and Florida. Pray for Jose who leads ESI groups of Spanish speaking pastors in Los Angeles and throughout Central America. Pray that each ESI participant will grow in their understanding of the gospel and their love for Jesus, that they will live true to the gospel, and that they will teach and preach God’s Word faithfully in their local churches.
* Pray for the 4 groups of African pastors meeting weekly in ESI groups in London, and for the 5 ESI groups meeting in Paris.
* Pray for the 3000 ESI participants in 250 groups in 37 countries, as these men and women grow in their love for God as they study His Scriptures weekly. Pray that they will experience gospel transformation in their lives, relationships and local churches.
