Prières quotidiennes
Edward
Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Pray that God will bless his local language acquisition as he spends two weeks in the capital city to study the language more intensively. Give thanks that after many Bible discussions and working through large differences in worldview, his friend Jason* agreed that he now understood the Christian view on sin and why the penalty of sin is death. Praise God for this huge step forward in Jason’s understanding. Ask God to help Jason see and understand how only Jesus could perfectly pay the price for sin and that he did so on the cross. *Names changed for security reasons.
Ruth Mahood
Ruth Mahood serves as a counsellor with AIM Care at Tumaini Counselling Centre in Nairobi. Give thanks that she has settled into her role quickly, and she enjoyed speaking at AIM’s Personnel Officers’ Forum earlier this month on the topic of supporting members dealing with trauma. Pray for safe travels and other preparations as she speaks about mental health and offers individual counselling at AIM’s Africa Based Orientation in South Africa in October 2024. Pray that Ruth will continue to build good relationships with the missionaries she supports and that she will draw on the strength of Christ as she looks to Him to lead her in her daily life and ministry.
Gilles & Myriam Bonvallat
Gilles & Myriam are AIM mobilisers for French-speaking Europe and Gilles also serves as Director and Finance Officer for the Francophone office. Pray for God to provide the right people to take on the Finance and Director roles so Gilles and Myriam can focus on mobilising believers for the gospel.
Timo and Laura
Timo and Laura serve in Finland among the Congolese refugee population, sharing Jesus with them, and equipping Christian refugees to reach out to the Finns they live among. Pray for the Bible study small groups they facilitate, that new gospel leaders will be developed and that these studies draw their participants into a deeper understanding of and relationship with Jesus. Pray that God will continue to build up Timo and Laura, that they will be encouraged by God’s word and that fruit from their ministry will come in the form of Finns giving their lives to Jesus and growing more like him.
Mix and Katie Miner
The Miner family serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). RVA is AIM’s boarding school founded to support missionaries across Africa. Pray for them as the new school year has started. Pray that God will bless Mix with energy as he teaches new students and prepares his classes for the first semester. Pray for God to sustain Katie as she cares for their children Avery, Aiden and Eliana at home on the RVA compound and supports Mix in his ministry.
Prisoners in North Africa
Continue to pray for Christian prisoners in North Africa who have been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus for some time now. The hearing for their case has already been postponed three times and was again pushed back to 1st October 2024. Pray for encouragement for the prisoners and their families after this disappointment. Pray the hearing will take place in October and ask that God will continue to embolden each one of them to continue clinging to Christ and not give up.
Dawn
Dawn* works to reach unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands with the gospel. Pray for her friend and local believer Regina*, who is facing serious threats from her father due to her faith, and could lose her home, but she is continuing to trust Jesus and share the gospel in her neighbourhood. Pray that God will soften her father’s heart and that God will strengthen her and Dawn’s friendship so that together they grow in their love and witness of their Saviour. *Names changed for security reasons
Ann
Ann works among an unreached people group in northern Chad. Pray for the children she interacts with, mainly through her visits to their mothers. These children know nothing of the gospel and are unlikely to in their families and wider town. Pray for Ann, that God will give her opportunities and their parent’s permission to speak about her faith in Jesus either to them, or in their hearing. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to these children and give them a desire to know Jesus now and as they grow up.
Margot DeSouza
Margot DeSouza has completed her service as part of a TIMO team serving in Likawage, Tanzania. Give thanks that she and her husband Fernando have welcomed their first child into the world this month. Pray for God’s hand to be on this new family. Pray that their child will grow healthy and strong, and that Margot will recover well. Pray for them as they seek God in parenthood and in their desire to reach the unreached with the gospel of Jesus in Chad in future.
