Please also join me in praying for Jan Cammack who is participating in a Future Missionary Training Trip in Rwanda.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bolivia Trip<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Purpose of Trip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Invite INELA to join us in exploring possible new mission fields through our EFM Luke 10 initiative. Encourage INELA leaders to join God on his mission and to mobilize their congregations for missions. For me personally, plant seeds of empowering, whole life discipleship among pastors and YM leaders in La Paz through a couple 1.5-hour workshops, and with leaders in the CCA church in Santa Cruz through a seven-hour workshop and Sunday morning service. Build relationships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Praises:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three young ladies (Stefanie Chambi, Cintia Huayhua and Anahi Tintaya) are taking the Navigators 10-month, online Discipling for Development training starting this January. Pray for them to engage deeply with God\u2019s Word, and with principles and practices of whole-life discipleship that they can apply to their missionary work wherever God sends them for their whole lives.<\/li>\n<li>I especially appreciate a growing friendship with David Tintaya and with Rodiz and Stefanie Chambi. We have been meeting since the summer looking at how to influence INELA towards missions and whole-life discipleship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayer requests:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for great connections with friends and leaders and for sensitivity to God-appointments, and what he is doing in each person.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for health and strength in the high altitude and that we would not get any stomach bugs. Pray also for protection from COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for God\u2019s blessing over whole-life discipleship seeds planted, that they would grow and bear fruit in the right people, and especially in the CCA church.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for my ease in Spanish, for clear thinking and communication and for excellent facilitation of the seminars and classes I\u2019m teaching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21495 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar.png 736w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/David-Thomas-Prayer-Calendar-600x280.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jan Cammack&#8217;s Rwanda Trip<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Purpose of Trip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Invite Rwanda and Burundi yearly meetings to join us in EFM\u2019s new vision of establishing 5 new fields with 10 new households by the end of 2025.
