Prières quotidiennes

Pray for all in AIM as we seek to be an intercultural organisation, where members and leaders from many cultures and nations feel welcome and actively participate. Pray that we would be able to celebrate the diversity, beauty, and glorious future of the Lord’s Church. (Rev 5:9-10, Gal 3:28).

Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. When they recently showed the Jesus Film in the villages of Midongy and Befotaka, the reactions were incredible as the Bible stories became clear to many. Please pray for the new brothers and sisters in Christ that they would shine and remain firm. Following Jesus is not easy when families fear ancestral punishment, and sorcerers are not happy about more Christians.

Hannah Jackson is the Child Safety Officer for AIM. Pray for wisdom in building on the work done to reduce the risk of children becoming casualties of the gospel work their parents are doing. Ask the Lord to help Hannah through a time of transition as the Swansons have now returned to the UK. Hannah has lived next door to Tony and Cath for the last year, and they’ve helped her settle into life and work in Nairobi. She has celebrated Christmas and Easter with them and has enjoyed many themed film nights together. Cath has been her friend and mentor, and Hannah has been grateful to have had this time with her. Pray for Hannah as she misses them both.

Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She praises God for the conclusion of her classes on Bible Study Methods. The students have responded well, learned a lot and appreciated reading more of the Bible. Please pray for them as they should now read without being told by a teacher.  Pray for Claudia as she should now have spare time to turn her class notes on Biblical Geography into a booklet. May it become a help to the church in understanding the reality of life in Israel as presented in the Bible.

Inge Michel serves at SEMTENA in Nampula, Mozambique, where she teaches and trains pastors and church workers. Praise the Lord for one more year of teaching completed on medium and higher levels, and for good results, all of which is encouraging for the future. Pray for the preparations for next year.

Claire is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. She gives thanks for the much-needed encouragement she received from meeting supporters and prayer partners during Home Assignment.

Pray for the 15,000 Suri of South Sudan and Ethiopia. Although they are very committed to witchcraft, they are receptive to the gospel, and in the past few years, a church with around 150 people has begun in Mewun (South Sudan). There are two churches in Ethiopia with a mixed congregation of Suri from different sub-tribes.  Most of the churchgoers are quite young in their faith and age. The temptation to backslide is great. The translation of the New Testament has recently begun. Some gospels have now been drafted. Pray for strength for the Bible translation team. They are working hard. Pray for wisdom to make good translation decisions, and for many Suri to read God’s word in their language and believe the message.

Pray for AIM as we endeavour to follow the model and teaching of Jesus, who became incarnate among us (John 20:21, 1 Cor 9:19-22). Ask Jesus that in our varied ministries, we would walk in humility, build relationships, adopt learner attitudes, learn languages and cultures, and strive to live as belonging members in our communities.

Cees and Mirjam Molenaar serve in Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. At a recent training session of 78 leaders in rural church fellowships, it was discovered that only six could read and write. The six readers automatically became group leaders for the Bible reading assignment, reading the Bible passage aloud three times and then discussing the question provided. People in an oral culture are good at listening and remembering, and some have even memorised the section! When the training had finished, the leaders asked, “Teacher, we are really hungry. God is calling us to teach His Word to the children, and we have learned how, but what are we to teach them if we don’t have His Word and can’t read it?” Matayo is one of the six who can read. His Bible is used for his seven satellite congregations, which means that once every seven weeks, the Bible is opened in one of those churches. The other Sundays are filled with singing, praying, and sharing testimonies. Cees’ Ugandan fellow trainers were shocked: “So God had to bring you all the way from the Netherlands to show us that there is so much spiritual need in our own country. Suddenly, I understand the great commission: it says GO! We didn’t know that there were still such unreached areas in our country.” Pray for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into these fields.
