Prières quotidiennes
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar serve in Kampala, Uganda, focusing specifically on reaching the region of Karamoja. Mirjam has finished a week of training Karimojong children’s ministry workers in teaching and explaining God’s word to children. Praise God for these believers’ faith, particularly for John* who became a follower of Christ a year ago and through whose testimony his friend Chris* became a believer eight months ago. Ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen and embolden these two men, and their fellow children’s workers, to share the gospel with the Karamojong children and young people in their valley. Pray for protection against any evil that might wish to tear down this vital gospel work. *Names changed for security reasons.
Europe Based Orientation
This evening is the first session of Europe-Based Orientation for long-term missionaries preparing to serve with AIM for the first time. Please pray that these Zoom meetings over the next two weeks will be engaging and that missionaries and presenters will enjoy good fellowship as they meet together. Pray that the topics covered will be a real help to our new workers and that we will support them well as they get ready to begin their first assignments.
AIM Europe
Pray for the AIM Europe Mobilisation Team as they encourage and resource churches to engage with God’s vision for world mission and send out gospel workers on long or short-term mission. Pray that God will continue to give Cath, Sheona and Phil His passion for the unreached as they meet with church leaders and those exploring their calling to cross-cultural mission, and represent AIM at various events. Pray that God will bless the relationships they are building and that more believers will be aware of, praying for, and exploring cross-cultural mission.
Dave and Cristyn Wakefield
Dave and Cristyn Wakefield are preparing to serve at Moffat Bible College in Kijabe, Kenya. Give thanks they have now booked their flights! Praise God for how He has brought them to this point in their journey towards landing in Kenya to obey their calling to serve Him there. Pray that the Holy Spirit will fill them with trust in Him and peace in their hearts as they prepare mentally, emotionally and practically, to leave familiar people, places and routines and embrace this huge life change. Pray that the Lord will be close to their children, Stevie and Caleb, as they follow their parents and adapt to change also.
AIM France
Gilles and Myriam are the Director and Personnel Manager for AIM Europe’s Francophone office. They have been praying for God to provide a new Francophone Director so they can focus more on building church partnerships and mobilising new workers for French-speaking Africa. One candidate who was approached felt the role wasn’t right for him. Pray that God will provide the right person for this role at the right time and that He will sustain Gilles and Myriam as they carry a heavy workload.
John and Zoe Putman
John and Zoe Putman serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA); AIM’s boarding school which educates and disciples the children of missionaries, in Kijabe, Kenya. Give thanks that they have enjoyed building friendships with local shopkeepers. Pray for more opportunities to meet with and share the gospel with Zoe’s friend Maria* who sells fruits and vegetables. Pray for God to strengthen her as she works long hours to provide for her family. *Name changed for security reasons.
Edward
Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Give thanks to God that he has recovered quickly from Dengue Fever. Pray for continued recovery and peace from health anxiety. Pray for his friend James* who, after a good conversation with Edward about investigating other faiths, has agreed to read the book of Job. Pray that he will do so and that he will have questions to ask Edward about the one true God Yahweh. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give Edward the words to say to enable James* to understand better and acknowledge the truth of the Bible. *Name changed for security reasons.
Ramadan
Eid al-Fitr, the celebration at the end of Ramadan, is due to begin tonight. Families celebrate the holiday together and give gifts of clothes and sweets, women often decorate their hands with henna and listen to traditional music, and life for many Muslims will return to what it was before Ramadan once the celebrations are over. Please pray that this year many will have discovered a hunger to know more of God and his ways and that God in his mercy will lead them to meet Christians and discover in his word that only Jesus can bring us close to him.
Annemarie Boks
Annemarie Boks works in Adi, DR Congo as a Director of an Aids Awareness Program. Pray for her safe travels to a neighbouring city to organise a two-day gospel workshop with another Christian organisation. Pray that this workshop will bring practical aid and the gospel message to many who will engage with Jesus’ words. Pray for God to provide for the practical needs and processes for those preparing to take over the Aids Awareness Program as Annemarie approaches her retirement and pray for Annemarie as she seeks to hand over the program well and seek the Lord’s direction in the months ahead.
