In Venezuelan Spanish "Epa" is equivalent to “Hey.”

I’ll shout out a “Hey” to Paul’s buddy Epaphras who was the Gentile church planter in Colossae.

…the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf .

Col 1.6b-7

Later, Epa was a prisoner in Rome, and always he was a real prayer warrior.

Praying, for Epa, was not just saying, ”Hey thanks, Lord,” when he sat down for tacos.

He fought battles in prayer.

No wonder the Colossian church was so solid.
