Prières quotidiennes
Alan and Pauline Jordan
Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. The evening sessions and the Saturday teaching sessions of the Bible Training Course for Pastors/Leaders (BTCP/L) programme are reaching their climax, studying the final book, concerning Mission, Evangelism and Discipleship. The only problem is the students are all concerned about what to do next with the time they commit each week studying the course! They have suggested studying a diploma, or seminars on various topics. They just love the fellowship, teaching and fun they have together. Pray for wisdom for Alan as it leaves him in a quandary as to what the Lord is leading him to do next. There are a few students who will need to do catch up classes during July before the graduation. Pray for the first Nanyuki Graduation on Saturday 2nd August when many friends, family and dignitaries will join the celebrations.
Chris and Sarah Power
Chris and Sarah Power are about to move from Rift Valley Academy in Kenya to Black Forest Academy (BFA) in Germany, another school staffed by missionaries, which provides good quality, affordable education for mission families serving throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Pray that they will be able to make the most of their last two months at RVA – for those they mentor, disciple, teach, and socialise with. Ask the Lord to provide someone to take over Chris’s role as RVA’s Personnel Director. Pray that Chris’s visa appointment at the German Embassy tomorrow (17th June) would go well and that their visas will be processed quickly in time to travel. Pray for their children as they also go through this big transition, leaving (almost) all of their friends and the place that has been home for significant, formative years. There is much grief involved!
Jiye of South Sudan
Pray for the less than 12,000 Jiye of South Sudan who live in the arid, flat lowlands of the South East corner of South Sudan. They are agri-pastoralists, growing sorghum and raising cattle, sheep, and goats. We’re encouraged to report that the Oral Bible Translation project is progressing well. Pray for Amoni and his team as they diligently work to make God’s Word accessible in the local heart language.
Our Story
Pray for AIM as, united by Christ’s love, we welcome labourers from many nations and cultures to step out into cross-cultural ministry and find their place in the Great Commission. Pray that wherever we minister, we would follow the model and teaching of Jesus as we walk in humility and build relationships in our communities. As we serve on diverse teams, and in collaboration with varied ministry partners, pray that we would be giving testimony to the truth and beauty of the Body of Christ.
Kay
Kay* leads a medical team on the Indian Ocean Islands. She is nearing the end of a Bible overview with Mama Fiona*. Please pray Mama Fiona will see and commit to the truth and choose to follow Jesus. Pray too for wisdom in what to study next, as they gauge where her heart is. The two of them travelled to another town for the wedding of one of her family members. Pray that this time spent together outside their studies would enrich their relationship. *Name changed for security reasons
Mix and Katie Miner
Mix and Katie Miner serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). Recent experiences have shed light on why people pray before every journey. Kenya has over 4,000 recorded traffic deaths a year, not including the unrecorded ones. Passing a fatal road traffic accident recently, a distraught crowd started beating on their car, opened the door and tried to reach in. Not long ago, a special education teacher from Nairobi died in a bus accident on her way to teach at their school. Please pray for the government seeking to address this and for safe travel for workers.
Amelia
Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. During a recent flare up of trouble in the South, the Lord used the intervention of a local unbelieving mayor to plead for calm and consideration. Pray that God would continue to raise up leaders like this mayor, courageous and reasonable men and women who will not just stand against violent acts but also for local believers. Pray that the church in the South would continue to grow, and that the recent events would unsettle many unbelievers, in the immediate locality and beyond, until they find their rest in Jesus. *Name changed for security reasons
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar serve in Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. Mirjam trains teachers and children’s workers using materials called “In Step with the Master Teacher” (ISMT) – there are currently 60 participants. One recent participant wrote, “The lesson on salvation changed my life. Frankly, I was only a Christian in name. I have now come to know the Lord Jesus as Saviour and Redeemer. I didn’t know the Bible was so beautiful, I feel like reading all the stories!” Topista, a Karamojong woman, has taken two different courses in children’s ministry. On Sundays, she leads the children’s program in her congregation. During the week, she and the team go to unreached villages to evangelize, and she has also started a Christian community school in a nearby town, together with some mothers. Pray that many Karamojong children will come to know and obey God.
Jurgen and Katja Hofmann
Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. A second group of Malagasy Bible students will be going to their former village of Maroamboka at the end of June as part of their training to become evangelists/missionaries. The first group had an encouraging time last month. Local Christian leaders will help them to get around as they go two by two to the surrounding villages to preach the Gospel. Pray the Lord will open a door for fruitful ministry and many will be saved!
