Kep & Debbie September 2021 Update
Hello from Bolivia!
A short note to thank you for praying for us, and to mention a few specific prayer requests this month:
* For Kep’s trip to Cairo, Marrakech, and Dakar on September 17 for three weeks -- first to attend a conference (with 400-500 Egyptian young people who are interested in missions); then to lead a four-day training retreat. This retreat will be for 15 leaders of church planting training centers across North Africa. Please pray that our time together will deepen their commitment to Jesus and to be Biblical friends–they work in areas that are difficult for the gospel! Also that the time together will encourage each one to make a life-long commitment to study God’s Word, to know it, and to teach it–so they will live the transformation of the gospel by growing in Jesus. After the training retreat, I will visit training centers in various countries.
* For Debbie as she continues to build the women’s ministry in our church in La Paz. Several of her key leaders have left La Paz or Bolivia due to family concerns in other places. Pray as they plan their important annual women’s retreat in the month of October.
* For the 1720 ESI (Equipping Servants) participants that meet in 160 groups in 14 countries. Many of these groups have returned to meeting physically after over a year of restrictions that forced them to meet online.
Thank you for your prayers!
Kep and Debbie
