The James Family
Kep & Debbie August 2022 Prayer Requests
* Pray for Kep and Debbie as they say good-byes in Bolivia and return to Cleveland in October. They will refocus their ministry toward Africa.
* Pray for Kep’s trip to Cairo August 26-September 3 to train leaders who are responsible for training young men and women to start churches in North Africa. Pray for these leaders that they will help students grow in their commitment to study God’s Word, to grow in their love for Jesus, and to experience gospel transformation in their daily lives.
* Pray for the 1,825 ESI (Equipping Servants – Disciples Making Disciples) participants in 168 groups meeting in 14 countries, with 2730 total graduates since beginning in 2002. Pray that these men and women will grow in their love for God and commitment to honor Christ by being true to His Scriptures with Jesus and His Gospel at the center.
* Pray for the 60 Kenyan pastors and church leaders whom Kep will train in Nairobi September 5-7. Pray for those who will start ESI groups in their own churches following this ESI Training Retreat.
* Praise for ESI expansion in Latin America in 2022. ESI Peru is taking ESI into British Guyana; ESI Ecuador is taking ESI into Central America, and ESI Columbia continues to oversee ESI expansion into Venezuela and the 3 new groups in La Coruña, Spain.
* Pray for the ILC church we planted in La Paz, Bolivia that members will be faithful in sharing Christ and for much fruit that remains.
* Praise that Debbie was able to hand her ILC Church women’s ministry over to her ministry team – this frees her to travel with Kep to work with African women.
* Pray for Pastor Pepe and the elders of the ILC Church in La Paz, that they will be passionate about Jesus so they can lead the church in gospel transformation according to God’s Word.
