Prières quotidiennes
Kay
Kay* leads a medical team in the Indian Ocean Islands. Pray for a lady she is getting to know called Holly*, who used to be a believer but fell away due to the religious persecution she was experiencing. She declined an invitation to meet together and watch The Jesus Film with Kay and some friends at Easter but said that she still believes in her heart. Pray that God will provide more opportunities for Kay to talk with and support her in her faith and that God will draw her back to Him and to fellowship with the local body of believers. *Name changed for security reasons
Europe Based Orientation
Give thanks for the European-Based Orientation (EBO) for our missionaries who are preparing to be sent to their various locations later this year, which concluded well last week. Continue to pray for Rebecca Welsh and Dave and Cristyn Wakefield as they continue to process EBO’s content and prepare to move to Africa in July 2024.
Mission in Action –Edinburgh
Today AIM will be hosting the first Mission in Action event in Edinburgh, during which Bishop Philipo Mafuja Magwano from the Pwani diocese of the Africa Inland Church Tanzania (AICT) will share how AIM and churches in Tanzania have partnered together to further the gospel in that country. Pray for boldness for Bishop Phillippo as he speaks and that his testimony will encourage and motivate those listening to pray for the church in Tanzania and want to engage with the work of AIM and AICT where they are in Scotland.
Claire Weddell
Claire Weddell is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Give thanks that she’s been able to meet with and encourage a number of former students who are serving in Nampula and further north. Please pray for them for God’s provision and that they will stay strong in spirit as they serve in challenging and dangerous locations.
Hannah Jackson
Hannah Jackson was part of a TIMO team in Tanzania and is now in the UK on Home Assignment before taking up her role in AIM’s Child Safeguarding Team in Kenya. Give thanks that she was able to finish well, say her goodbyes and organise the logistics to successfully return to the UK. Pray for Hannah as she processes her two and a half years in Tanzania and pray for those she has left behind among the Swahili and Wangindo peoples of Likawage. Give thanks that she has seen baptisms of new believers and had the privilege of seeing them discipled in her time there. Pray that God will continue to save souls in Likawage, and that Hannah will trust God in her next steps.
Pablo
Pablo* serves in West Africa, where he continues to use English teaching as a door-opener for developing relationships for the gospel. Give thanks he had a refreshing time on holiday with his family. Pray for him as he prepares to take on the workload of a colleague who is leaving the English Centre later this year. Pray God will give Pablo peace and capacity as he prepares to take on a significant amount of work while also wanting to prioritise his time outside of teaching to building relationships for the gospel. *Name changed for security reasons

Pray for God’s peace to be on Bishop Phillipo as he travels to the UK and prepares to speak.
Mat and Katy Linley
Mat and Katy Linley are based in Kijabe, Kenya. Mat is AIM Southern Region’s Regional Administrative Officer (RAO), and Katy works as a Family Medicine Consultant at the AIC Kijabe Hospital. Pray for peace and endurance from the Holy Spirit for their daughter, Phoebe, as she sits her Advanced Placement (AP) exam (UK A Level equivalent) in Art History at Rift Valley Academy (RVA) today. Pray the same over their son Jonah as he sits his AP in Human Geography tomorrow, 7th May 2024 and his iGCSE English exam on Wednesday 8th May 2024. Give thanks for the work of RVA; AIM’s boarding school for the children of missionaries, that enables AIM workers to continue sharing the gospel in their unique locations, with the reassurance that their children can receive a quality, Christ-centred education.
Kenya Floods
On Monday 29th April 2024 Chris and Sarah Power woke up to the devastating news of a major flash flood and landslide wiping out settlements on the outskirts of Maai Mahiu, just down the hill from RVA’s (Rift Valley Academy) campus. This flooding caused massive destruction to livestock, homes and the loss of lives as reported by global news channels. Many of RVA’s Kenya staff are affected by the damage and have lost family members. This has shaken the RVA and Kijabe hospital community as over 50 people lost their lives, and the many missing are now presumed dead. Pray for the Kijabe and Maai Mahiu communities as they come to terms with the loss of lives and have to rebuild homes that were destroyed. Pray for rains to ease so that the recovery efforts can continue. Pray for the organisations trying to work together to provide aid – that it would be an effective, unified effort and pray for RVA staff and students as they rally around and support the community.
