James August 2013 Update

Hello from Bolivia!

This month's Update features our August ESI (Equipping Servants Pastoral Training) Conferences in Bolivia. Please pray that pastors and church leaders will be encouraged as pastor Jeff Mills (Pastoral Team -- Parkside Church, Cleveland, Ohio) speaks on the topic of "Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus" August 12-13 in Potosi, August 14-16 in La Paz, and August 22-24 in Santa Cruz -- and that as a result Jesus will be glorified.

Thank you for your partnership in ministry as you pray for the work here,

Kep and Debbie James

Hello from Bolivia!

Thank you so much for praying for us and the work here. Things are moving ahead strongly with the training and equipping of pastors in Bolivia, Mexico, Ecuador -- and as we get off the ground in Huánuco, Peru. We have our ESI (Equipping Servants pastoral training) Module graduations June 16.
