Daily prayers

Maudy Thursday

Today in the UK is known as Maundy Thursday, where historically Christians remember Jesus’ last supper. Maundy Thursday takes its name from the Latin word ‘mandatum’ meaning commandment. During the supper Jesus told his disciples to “love one another” (John 13 v 34), washed the disciples’ feet as an example of humility and gave them the first bread and wine of Holy Communion. Pray for all believers in Africa and across the globe who are unable to openly receive Holy Communion for fear of persecution. Pray that the Holy Spirit will encourage and bring joy to all believers today as they prepare for Easter Sunday in their hearts.

Sam and Ruth

Pray for Sam and Ruth who are serving as Short Term doctors in Kenya. Give thanks for the time they had in Marsabit, supporting different ministries there. Give thanks that they have safely returned to Kijabe Hospital and are enjoying using their medical skills again. Pray that they will continue to be encouraged by and be an encouragement to, the Long-Term missionaries in Kijabe. Pray for discernment for them as they reflect on their time in Kenya and where God might be leading them in cross-cultural mission in the future, as their return date approaches. 

West Africa

In December 2023 there was serious persecution of Jesus’ followers in a country in West Africa. Thankfully, those who were imprisoned for their faith in Jesus were released and have not recanted. However, there is talk that a radical group are threatening to find them and kill them. Pray that God will protect them from harm and that they will continue to hold fast to their faith in Jesus. Pray that those who lost their jobs and friends due to their imprisonment for their faith will be able to find work and community again.

Margot Knight

Margot Knight has completed her service as part of a TIMO team serving in Likawage, Tanzania. She is currently on marriage leave, travelling and taking time out to adjust to married life. Pray for her and her husband as they look ahead towards major life changes, including moving country, AIM Team, House, Church etc as Margo will be leaving her ministry in Tanzania to move to the country in Africa where her husband also serves as a missionary with AIM. Pray that the rest of her marriage leave will be restful, and pray that God will guide her in the many changes ahead. 

Rebecca Welsh

Rebecca Welsh will be supporting the ministries of AIM workers and their families through teaching chemistry and broader science at Rift Valley Academy, (RVA) Kenya in 2024. Rebecca is in significant need of financial support funds, if she cannot meet her fundraising target, she will not be able to confirm whether she will be able to start her role at RVA for the 2024 academic year. Pray that God will give her peace as she shares her calling with potential supporters and continues to plan for her move to Kenya in faith that God will provide. Could you support Rebecca?

Amelia

Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Give thanks that she has enjoyed progress in her language learning and knowledge of local culture. Pray that she will have more opportunities to meet and befriend local women who will be sympathetic to her limited local language skills but who will be happy to get to know her and meet with her more regularly.  *Name changed for security reasons.

Annette

Annette* serves in AIM’s Southern Region Office. Pray for personal refreshment and spiritual peace as she enjoys time in her home country on Home Assignment. Pray that her supporters will be encouraged by her visits and stories of what God is doing through her and the Southern Region Office. Pray that a Visa she has applied for, to enable her to join her teammates in South Africa, will be granted soon.  *Name changed for security reasons.

Dawn

Dawn* works to reach unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands with the gospel. Pray that God will bring the husband of her friend Sara* to salvation in Jesus. Give thanks for Sara’s* perseverance in the Lord, despite family opposition, and her willingness to encourage other women believers to meet together. Pray that God will motivate local sisters in Christ to come together. Pray that God will also provide logistical routes, around childcare and travel, to enable these meetings to happen. Pray that Dawn* and Sara* will be able to encourage and be encouraged in Christ through meeting and studying the Bible with these women.  *Name changed for security reasons. 

Ann

Ann works among an unreached people group in northern Chad. Pray for her as she continues seeking opportunities to talk about Jesus and the gospel with her friends and neighbours. During Ramadan, her Muslim friends fast from daybreak to sunset and this can result in irritability and less inclination to stop and chat due to hunger, thirst, and fatigue from the daytime heat. Pray that God will increase Ann’s capacity to visit, chat and help those around her so that Christ’s love will be boldly distinct in her interactions and draw people to ask her more about the God she worships.
