Tim and Heather

Sent from Christ Church Liverpool

Tim is serving as Director for the AIM Asia Pacific Mobilising Region leading a small team in Australia and coordinating teams in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Alongside supporting the 35 or so long-term missionaries sent from the region, there is an increasing vision to engage more widely and deeply with churches across the Asia Pacific area to enable them to play a fuller part in reaching the unreached peoples of Africa and to send more gospel workers to the African harvest fields.  This has been the focus of Tim’s work over the last few years, and his passion to see churches more effectively involved in taking the gospel to unreached people groups.

Heather, who is a nurse, will be looking for work in the Gosford area. Although she is an Australian her family will still be a 3.5-hour flight away, so she’ll not be ‘going home’.  It does mean that Tim has a route to obtain a visa, application process permitting!

Tim and Heather are currently raising support and are looking for people who would like to partner with them in their ministry through both prayer and financial giving. 

Could you support Tim and Heather in this work?

Latest Prayer News

Gilles & Myriam are AIM mobilisers for French-speaking Europe and Gilles also serves as Director and Finance Officer for the Francophone office. For some time, they have been overwhelmed with the many responsibilities they carry, both outside and within AIM. As they prepare to take a sabbatical from their AIM roles in December, pray that God will help them to complete the tasks they can and submit to God what they must leave for others to take over. Pray for peace in their hearts as they plan how to use their sabbatical effectively to rest well. 

Owen and Miriam Pugh serve in AIM’s International Office, based in the UK. Owen is AIM International’s Office Manager and Miriam is the Personnel Director. Give thanks that they were able to visit their former teammates in Tanzania recently and that they heard of three more Tanzanian believers being baptised! Pray for the translation of the Bible into the local language of Alagwaisa. There have been significant challenges for the translation team to overcome this year. Pray with Owen and Miriam for God to continue to bless this work and give wisdom to those who lead it. 

Continue to pray for Christian prisoners in North Africa who have been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus for some time now. Their trial has been postponed multiple times, and the last trial produced no verdict. Their new trial is scheduled for today. Ask God to give each prisoner continued endurance in this suffering. Pray that this trial will go ahead, that there will be a clear verdict, and that the prisoners will be released.

Claire Weddell is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Praise God for the impact of the new Youth Mobilization Training she and her team ran for a second time in October. Please pray for her and for the team of mobilisers as they work on establishing follow-up, including a Discipleship Program to meet the needs of these young people

Caroline Bell partners with churches in Moroto, Uganda, to envision, equip, mobilise, and encourage believers to reach out to rural Karimojong communities with the gospel. The church plant in which she’s been most involved has recently merged with a church in the next village and begun meeting there. Caroline misses meeting in the first village and the connections it brought with the wider community there. Pray for her as she seeks God’s guidance on how to continue to invest in these connections while meeting to worship elsewhere. Pray that God will bring spiritual fruit from this merging of two church congregations.
