The James Family
Kep & Debbie December 2020 Prayer Requests
• The Evangelical church in Bolivia faces unique challenges: 1) many Bolivians are struggling from Covid, and 2) Evo Morales’ MAS party (Movement To Socialism) the recent election. This will very likely limit freedom to evangelize openly in cities as well as access to Aymara and Quechua villages where we have shared Christ in the past. Please pray that the church will not walk in fear or lose its focus, but will learn to honor Christ by staying true to Jesus, teaching and preaching the Word of God.
• The ILC church in La Paz has returned to physical meetings. Pray for Pastor Pepe and the elders that they will be passionate about Jesus, and focused on gospel transformation in their preaching and teaching.
• Pray for the ESI (Equipping Servants –Disciples Making Disciples) leaders and groups in the 15 countries where we currently work. The 5 ESI groups in Guatemala report good growth among participants as they study through Romans. Pray that the Lord will encourage and transform these pastors and church leaders, that they will become gospel-centered in their thinking, passionate about Jesus in their living, faithful in their outreach – because no one should live or die without having the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus.
• Pray that the Lord will give us wisdom as we consider expanding ESI into parts of Africa and North America in 2021.
• Pray for Debbie as she shares the gospel with many women via phone and internet, disciples women, and continues teaching the Bible to the ILC Church women.
