John and I leave tomorrow for Kabardino-Balkaria.
I will be teaching a one week course on preaching in the pastor’s institute.
I am using material from my doctoral project on how accurate interpretation is tied to relevant application for powerful preaching.
John will be teaching in churches and visiting ministries throughout the region. Pray that we would serve these pastors and church planters well.
Pray for these men of God in Kabardino-Balkaria.
All of them face poverty. Unemployment is high. Most of the Pastors work two or three jobs and also depend on some sponsorship to plant churches.
Many of them face persecution. This usually comes from Muslim or Orthodox leaders.
Pray these Scriptures for the church planters in Kabardino-Balkaria:
Deuteronomy 3:22
2 Timothy 1:13
Hebrews 12:28
Hebrews 13:14
James 5:7-8
2 Thessalonians 3:1
Galatians 6:9
