The James Family
Quick Update
A quick update of what's happening -- thank you for praying for our time in Paraguay and Brazil and Argentina. We spent 3 days of intensive meetings in Santos, Brazil near Sao Paulo. Our purpose visiting these cities is to meet key pastors to see if there is interest in studying the Bible with us and growing in a process of mutual discipleship. We met with several groups, and found that God has prepared the ground -- there is much interest.
After that we traveled to Salta in northern Argentina and met with 7 key pastors last night. We will meet with another 50 tonight. It appears that the Evangelical church here is very fractured and that many have abandoned the Bible in lieu of pragmatism and mysticism. Pray that the Lord will show us if we can be of help to local churches in helping pastors and leaders to grow in their commitment to honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures --thinking and living and serving according to and on the basis of the Resource He has given us for transformation and growth!
Just so you can be praying -- we have ESI Facilitator Training weeks set up April 12-14 in Concepcion, Chile; April 25-27 in Sao Paulo or Santos, Brazil, and June 14-16 in Asuncion, Paraguay -- we value your prayers as we work with pastors and church leaders to train them how to lead ESI groups.
