- Details: Please pray for their ministry in Zambia. Next month, they are going with Kep and Debbie James to visit ESI small groups there and in Zimbabwe. Isaac is the new ESI leader in Zambia, following the death of their first ESI leader, after whose death the groups struggled. Isaac will travel with them to visit Harrison and the ESI groups that he leads in Kasempa followed by a visit to Copperbelt. In Kasempa, they will visit their school for young children and host a spring Vacation Bible Camp. Pray for the spiritual growth of the children in Zambia. Also, pray for the completion of a facility where young adults in the community will come and learn a skill that will enable them to provide for their families. About 107 children attend weekly Bible clubs in Cleveland area public schools. Pray that the love and interest these children now display in reading God’s Word will build a foundation that will continue as they grow up and that this outreach will also cause parents, families, and school staff to hear the gospel. Nepal (Asia). Population: 29,618,118 Believers: 2.8%. Although Nepal is a secular country, an anti-conversion law was passed in 2017, primarily intended to limit Christian evangelism and defend Nepal’s Hindu traditions. It has not succeeded in slowing the spread of the gospel; Nepal’s Christians continue to share the good news. Pray for wisdom and courage for all who wish to be witnesses for Christ in Nepal.
