Prières quotidiennes
Ann
Ann works among an unreached people group in northern Chad. Pray for interactions with two ladies who professed faith in the past, but are less willing to engage with Ann now. Ruth* is 30yrs old and has 6 children 14yrs-21 months and is pregnant again. Her husband has no work and doesn’t want to work in others’ fields, which means money is very difficult. Ann was able to meet her recently for the first time in a long time because Ruth has been out working every day in her fields but is now waiting for harvest time. She believed in Jesus about two years ago, but locals don’t want her talking to Ann so they must meet inside to avoid being seen. Pray for Ann to know how to help. Faye* is 28 years old and has 6 children of whom 3 died (before Ann met her). She was previously Ann’s language helper and believed in Jesus 3 years ago but is no longer interested to talk about it. God knows her heart. When Ann visited recently, Ruth was away at a funeral … finding people at home can be a challenge. Pray for wisdom for Ann in connecting with these ladies. * Name changed for security reasons
North Africa
On a recent visit to North Africa, one of our affiliates and a teammate were able to spend time with the family of one of their local students. They were shown such kindness, in a lavish tea ceremony with delicious pastries, and they were able to share the Good News with Mr & Mrs L* for over an hour and a half. They have heard it before many times. Please ask God to open their eyes to his goodness and grace. * Name changed for security reasons
Chris and Sarah Power
Chris and Sarah Power serve in Germany, where Chris is the HR Manager at Black Forest Academy (BFA). This year BFA has 178 staff from the US, Canada, South Korea, Germany and other places in Europe. The 269 students represent almost 60 different countries from around the globe. Around 85% of these students come from families engaged in mission work and it’s a blessing for the Powers to be part of a ministry that truly has a global reach! In addition to their roles, Chris & Sarah are “dorm friends”, supporting the dorm parents of a boys’ dorm. Twice a month on Friday evenings they join the dorm as they eat together and then hang out with the 20 boys, aged between 15 and 18 years old. As you can imagine, the dorm parents appreciate the extra help. It’s been fun for Chris & Sarah, meeting the boys and hearing where they have come from – Russia, Turkey, Spain, Kenya, the Middle East… Pray for these boys as they are away from their families and as Chris and Sarah get to know them and point them to Jesus.
O of Kenya
Pray for the 66,000 O of Kenya who are semi-nomadic herders living in the East African bush, in dome-shaped structures which can be dismantled to move with their herds. A government plan to make a little village airstrip into a large airport would have negative consequences for the Africa Inland Church station. Pray in Jesus’ name against all the schemes of the devil, who is trying to stop God’s kingdom advancing there. Recently, workers became aware that one of the new believers had been lying to them. The Lord orchestrated the perfect private meeting, and he was called to repent. He responded with conviction and humility, prayed to confess his sin, and chose to get back on the right path. Pray the new believers will be genuine, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s voice.
AIM Mission
Pray that in dependence on the grace and power of the Lord, in partnership with African churches, and with priority for unreached people groups, churches around the world would be mobilised for missions to Africans.
Dawn
Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Give thanks for the Lord sustaining her through some busy weeks. Pray for the local believers to recover momentum in meeting regularly and that they will continue to grow together. Praise the Lord that despite shortages he continues to provide fuel when needed. Please pray for protection over people and equipment in the Bible translation project. * Name changed for security reasons
Frank and Josie
Frank and Josie* serve with Borderless, mentoring young men and helping at an English conversation class and a befriending programme. In their previous ministry, they’d reached a point where they still had lots to learn but also knew what they were doing. They now feel like they’re at the beginning of a new journey, and don’t know what they are doing! They consult with others, but each ministry works slightly differently. They can put a huge amount of energy into thinking of creative ways to do things and then they fail and it can be discouraging. There’s no manual for how to do this work! Pray they will remember God isn’t asking them to do this in their strength, but in His. Ask that he will help them to surrender their plans, ideas and hopes to him, acknowledging that they don’t know what they are doing but he does! Please ask that during this time of not knowing, they would pray, abide and listen carefully to his directions. There should be an English Conversation Club starting at Josie’s school about now. * Name changed for security reasons
Hannah Jackson
Hannah Jackson 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
Ruth* 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. * Name changed for security reasons
