Prières quotidiennes
Alan and Pauline Jordan
Pablo* serves in West Africa, where he continues to use English teaching as a door-opener for developing relationships for the gospel. Pray for Pablo as he encourages brothers who have taken up their cross to follow Jesus at great cost. One was violently attacked after being baptised (though the two events don’t appear to be directly connected). Another has been cut off from family and has received various threats. Another is to be baptised shortly, having moved from another country and lost everything. *Name changed for security reasons

Africa’s unreached
Today, hundreds of Africa’s unique ethnic people groups remain unreached – that’s over 300 million people with no viable witness to the good news. Africa Inland Mission serves, equips, and mobilizes churches and believers from the global Church to advance the gospel among Africans who have the least opportunity to hear about Jesus. Pray that the Lord will build his church.
The Alagwa People of Tanzania
Pray for the Alagwa people of Tanzania. The Alagwa are a Cushitic group, who migrated south from the horn of Africa. Although they are called Muslims, their beliefs and practices are strongly steeped in their traditional ways of life. A translator who has been causing a lot of trouble for gospel workers started a new volley of attacks in December. She continues to do everything in her power to get the local Pastor and an AIM worker out of the Alagwa area. Please pray against these concerted efforts to stop the translation work.
Simon and Miriam Desborough
Simon and Miriam Desborough are serving in Antananarivo, Madagascar, mobilising Malagasy Christians for God’s mission. They are rejoicing that the AIM International Council have given them the green light to become an official mobilising committee and that they have several Malagasy missionaries raring to be brought into full AIM membership and go. Pray for wisdom in implementing this well and particularly for raising finances to send Malagasy missionaries when latest figures suggest that Madagascar is the poorest country in the world, with 80.3% of Malagasy living in poverty at $2.15 a day.
Rex and Ruby
Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it. There have been discouragements in their teams in recent months: one professing believer is not currently meeting with other local believers after they were secretly recording them for several months; another has recanted their faith in Jesus and moved back home with parents. Alongside this, in each of the team locations, people have come to faith in the last few months or have expressed a renewed willingness to read the Word. Please ask for wisdom in discipling those who decide to follow Jesus and perseverance as some profess faith and then seem to fall away. *Names changed for security reasons
Edward
Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Give thanks for a good start to the new academic year, and for stability at the university. Pray for boldness to share with students. After feeling prompted by the Spirit to ask Andrew* to read some Scripture with him, they had an incredible time reading John 6. Andrew* asked what it might feel like when God calls us and gives us faith, as if he was considering that it could be happening to him. Pray for the Lord to give Andrew* faith. *Names changed for security reasons
Chris and Sarah Power
Chris and Sarah Power are based in Kijabe, Kenya. Chris is the Personnel Director for Rift Valley Academy (RVA), and Sarah teaches at RVA. They feel the Lord leading them to new roles in Germany – Chris as the HR Manager at Black Forest Academy and Sarah as a coach for missionaries and support for families on the mission field. Pray for a sense of peace and for faith during this year of transition and that the Lord would provide for their financial needs. Pray that their children would be able to make the most of the last two terms of school at RVA.
Dawn
Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. She is rejoicing in 5 new team members on their island, 4 of whom are African. Pray for their language learning and friendships as they navigate cultural adjustments in the coming weeks. *Name changed for security reasons
