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.ย  This has been the focus of Timโ€™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 sheโ€™ll not be โ€˜going homeโ€™.ย  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.ย

Latest Prayer News

Hannah Jacksonย is the Child Safety Officer for AIM. This month she has more visitors coming to stay and is going to her first RVA board meeting. (Rift Valley Academy is an AIM boarding school near Nairobi.) She is also attending a conference for workers to North Africa. Due to the nature of their work locations, it can be harder to get to know these members, so pray she can build relationships and make useful contacts. At this conference Hannah will help the TCK (also called cross culture children) coordinator with some workshops; pray that they can support and equip families who are working in hard places, and that children can stay safe and thrive.

Ruth*ย works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. In her assignment location, she often sings at home on her own. Currently on home assignment in the UK, she has really enjoyed singing with so many people and learning some new songs. Pray that this time of refreshment would prepare her for her next season of service.

Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Marriage and divorce are topics that come up repeatedly: her friend was married at 12 and had her daughter at 13, while her friendโ€™s older sister has been married and divorced five times, with children from three different fathers. While the former is now much less common โ€“ and her youngest sister has made it all the way to university without getting married, the latter is not seen as unusual. Maybe five times is at the upper end, but itโ€™s not something that would necessarily cause surprise. On the other hand, to be a never married woman in her mid-40s, that is a strange thing! And while Ameliaโ€™s language still limits the depth of conversation, itโ€™s an easy jumping off point into things of faith, and a number of things she has said are repeated by her friends to new people when she meets them. Pray that the strangeness of what they hear would linger and prompt a desire for more and better than what they currently know.
