The James Family
James Family January 2016 Prayer & Praise
• We thank God for quality time at Parkside Church during our Home Assignment in Nov and Dec. Please pray for us as we return to Bolivia in January.
• Pray for the Lord’s guidance as we consider continuing expanding Equipping Servants pastoral training through Latin America and into Africa to help church leaders honor Christ by being true to the Scriptures. Pray for a mature church that disciples believers and reaches the lost with the gospel of Christ.
• Pray for the 800 ESI (Equipping Servants pastoral training) participants in Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. Pray for the 1073 graduates, that many churches will be transformed as pastors and church leaders honor Christ by being true to His Word.
• Pray that pastors will build a strong commitment of Biblical friendship, not walking alone but rather walking together with other pastors in their cities, to begin to experience true unity in Christ throughout Latin America.
• Pray for God’s supply for the 2500 Pastor Book Sets needed between 2016 and 2020 as we press forward to open ESI in 5 new Latin American countries in the next 5 years, wanting to place Pastor Book Sets in the hands of pastors and church leaders around Latin America – and train them in the use of these materials.
• Pray that ESI participants will grow in their love for Jesus, ever committed to live on the basis of Christ’s righteousness, in obedience to God’s Word.
