About

The Rev. James and Angela Sharp serve the Lord as missionaries in Puerto Rico. James serves as a pastor and church planter in the San Juan area.

She plans, directs and implements educational strategies to serve students and their families, as well as teaching English-as-a-Second-Language courses to people of all ages.

Pray that their outreach would be effective and that people would be brought to faith in Jesus. Pray also that the Lord would raise up pastors, teachers and leaders to continue the work the Sharps are beginning. Ask the Lord to be with the Sharp children, as they grow up and transition to a new home.
