Donate to Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. Praise the Lord for the invitation to the home of two Muslim women to break the fast during Ramadan. The food was endless and excellent, and the evening gave Sandrine a better understanding of their customs and religion. However, it was painful to see them in this slavery of Islam, counting on their good deeds to try to attain God’s favour. What a grace to know Jesus our liberator. Pray for these families to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Hannah Jackson is the Assistant Child Safety Officer for AIM. Pray that the team will be able to implement and disseminate what they learned at the global CSPN (the international safeguarding network that AIM is part of) conference in Florida. The theme was, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Digital: helping children walk safely in digital spaces’. Pray too for strengthening relationships with Tumaini Counselling Centre, part of AIM’s member care provision, in order to support families and keep children safe.

Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Give thanks for new connections, deepening of relationships, and some good chats about why she didn’t need to be fasting during Ramadan to earn favour, because the Lord Jesus has already opened the way to heaven. Pray for the local body of believers as they would like to do an event with the AIM team at Easter time. Please pray that plans will come together and it would be a good time to encourage each other and celebrate together.

Pray for the process of merging the ministries of AIM South Africa with the AIM Southern Region to establish a new region, the AIM Southern Africa region. Tshepang Basupi is the Director of this newly merged region, which unites the functions of both sending and receiving missionaries. Pray that this strategic consolidation will better reflect the current and future realities of global missions and will greatly enhance efforts to minister to the unreached peoples of Southern Africa.

The Didinga live in Southern Sudan, farming and raising cattle. Pray that they would be rescued from their worship of the spirits, gods and dead ancestors. Pray against the influence of the rainmakers, who perform certain rituals and are seen to carry great influence and power in the community. Pray too for peace in South Sudan, which is at risk of another civil war. 400,000 people died as a result of a terrible civil war from 2013-2018 and the peace agreement that ended that war seems to be unravelling.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE

Church Development

We hope that our church development work with local African churches will lead them to be centres of hope and love that draw more people to Jesus. LEARN MORE
