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.

Hannah Jackson is the Child Safety Officer for AIM. She was recently encouraged by visitors on their way back to ministry in Korr in Northern Kenya. Her visitors had set up the schools where Hannah taught back in 2012-13, established the Rendille Bible translation project and looked after Hannah when she was a short-termer. She was honoured to spend time with them back in Kenya and hear stories of how God’s work in Korr is continuing and bearing fruit.

Praise the Lord for a social media outreach ministry to people from Africa who have settled in the UK but are not Christians. Give thanks that some recent testimony videos have been viewed over 20,000 times and contact with the team’s online responders has resulted in seekers meeting in-person with team members in two different UK cities.

Simon and Miriam Desborough are serving in Antananarivo, Madagascar, encouraging and equipping the Malagasy church for mission, and reaching out to vulnerable women. They are deeply thankful for supporters’ prayers over these last few weeks, for them and for Madagascar. Pray that the Malagasy Church will mobilise to comfort those who are mourning and to disciple with the love of Christ those who have fallen short. One aspect of the recent events that troubled Simon & Miriam was the lack of veracity from several news outlets and the detrimental flow of fake news on social media. They were caught out a few times in believing an unverified story that turned out to be false, as did some of their friends. They found much of the social media discourse particularly difficult to bear, and even private messaging groups with committed believers became poisonous and overtly political. Pray that as the dust settles, Malagasy Christians and foreign missionaries will consider how they can communicate more wisely and charitably.
