The James Family
Kep & Debbie July 2023 Prayer Requests
*Please pray for the follow up of the ESI trainings in Brazil (Sao Paulo and Rio) that we did in June. There is a lot of interest in Brazil among pastors to study the Bible to understand the central message of the Bible, to live the transformation of the gospel, so that they can teach and preach the Bible faithfully.
Most pastors do not study the Bible, and they have seen their need and priority to do this. So pray that they will start ESI groups in July -- these groups are designed to study Romans as a group in every city, and to meet regularly to discuss what they learn, and then to help each other live out the truth of God's Word in their lives and marriages and ministries.
*Pray for Paulo and Vania da Silva as they lead an ESI facilitator training in Rondonia, Brazil in July -- before they return to Burundi, East Africa.
*Pray for the ESI facilitator training that Paulo and Vania da Silva will lead in Congo, the week after the ESI training in Rondonia, Brazil.
*Pray for the 15 ESI groups that have started in Kasempa and Ndola, Zambia -- as these 225 Zambian pastors and church leaders begin to study through the book of Romans -- that they will see Jesus in the center of the Bible, and experience true gospel transformation. Pray that the church in Zambia will be built up in Christ and in the gospel as a result of their serious study of God's Word.
