ESI Trip...Checking In
We are half way through our ESI visits in Latin America. Last week in Costa Rica was amazing. Of the 80 participants in the ESI Facilitator Training, 30 have committed to studying Romans with us. Please pray for Jose Gutierrez and local pastor Luis as they organize these pastors and church leaders into 2 ESI groups and take them through Romans 1-3 over the next 3 months. Pray that their time digging into the depths of Scripture will draw them closer to Jesus to experience deep gospel transformation in their lives and marriages. Pray that the discipleship process will grow them deeper in the grace that is in Christ Jesus to redirect their ministries in their local churches.
We paused for a few days to visit Andrew and Angie who are planting a church in Uruguay. Our next stop is Rio de Janeiro to visit our ESI leaders for Brazil, and then on to Rondonia and Vilhena in the Pantanal region where we will visit many ESI participants there. I will be preaching and teaching 2 Corinthians during our week there before returning to Cleveland on February 25.
Thank you for praying for the Lord to impact many lives through His Word. When you pray you are here with us. Thankful for your partnership in the gospel,
Kep and Debbie James
