It’s no surprise that with our desire to reach the unreached with the gospel, much of our work involves outreach & evangelism. Methods vary from people group to ministry area, but sharing the good news of Jesus is at the heart of all we do. The way we reach out to women on an Indian Ocean island might be different to the way we seek to evangelise young Samburu men in rural Kenya but our vision remains the same; to see people turning to Jesus for their salvation.
All in Africa need to know the freedom there is in Jesus, including those caught up in witchcraft, ancestor worship & animism, as well as those who are adhering to other major world religions. We long to let all Africa’s people know that they can have life, in all its fullness, for comfort rather than living in fear of breaking taboos and working to earn favour in the eyes of their gods. We long to tell them of the joy there is to be found in Christ, and the redemption that he offers.
To do this, people who are passionate and eager to share Jesus, need to go to those who have never heard. This may mean going to some of the world’s hardest to reach places, physically and spiritually but can also mean sharing hope where there is none. Could you be part of this work?

Pour de nombreux missionnaires, l’appel vers le champ de mission implique de traverser des frontières, des cultures et des langues. Mais l’histoire de Rosina Ferdinand est un peu différente. Aujourd’hui responsable d’AIM pour Madagascar, elle est une missionnaire qui vit et travaille pour partager l’Évangile avec son propre peuple, les Sakalava, sur l’île même où elle a grandi.
Melias est un missionnaire malgache. Il a quitté son emploi d’ingénieur en construction parce qu’il était déterminé à en apprendre davantage sur la mission. Il implante des églises et fait des disciples parmi les nouveaux croyants à Ikongo chez les Tanala et à NosyBe chez les Sakalava.
