Daily prayers
Simon and Miriam Desborough are serving in Antananarivo, Madagascar, encouraging and equipping the Malagasy church for mission, and reaching out to vulnerable women. Pray for effectiveness in helping vulnerable women find hope and freedom. Ask the Lord that their new Support Worker would settle in and be an asset, and that they can employ a Business Manager who can help set up the central business.
Gilles and Myriam Bonvallat are the Director and Personnel Director of AIM France. Please pray for the French office as they restructure and reorganise in 2026. Ask the Lord that Gilles and Myriam will be able to delegate more responsibilities and to expand the team. The French office is stepping into this new season trusting God to guide them, as they remain amazed and grateful witnesses, knowing God is establishing His Kingdom among all the peoples of the earth — and that He invites them to take part in His work from France to the ends of the continent. May they be used by the Lord so that many people across Africa will have the joy of hearing the Good News.
Dawn works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Pray for her as she resumes relationships, settles into a routine again with translation/testing drafts, teaches local language and embroidery, and interacts with the local church, after recently returning from leave. Ask the Lord to heal her island friend Yvette, who is receiving medical treatment on the mainland.
Owen and Miriam Pugh serve in the International Office as the Office Manager and Personnel Director. They give thanks that AIM’s AMF (African Missionaries Fund) was able to give support in 2025 to 188 adults and their 170 children. These were not just from AIM but from other mission organisations: CAPRO, Gen 12 and GLA. These African missionaries are working amongst 107 people groups in 30 different countries in Africa and diaspora communities outside the continent. Please pray for the new International Director, Liam, as he begins his new role, that he would continue to walk in reliance on God’s strength and wisdom, abiding in Jesus. Ask the Lord that he would give Owen and Miriam wisdom and direction each day as they serve and enable workers across AIM.
Holly has just begun a new assignment in North Africa. The hospital where she will be serving is in an unreached area. Virtually all patients come from an unreached group, and appreciate the good care that they receive, knowing that the hospital is run by Christians. Holly’s role is overseeing the training of local doctors in surgery, in a very structured training programme, both professionally and in training for outreach. Pray for her as she establishes relationships with new people, as a supervisor and a colleague, and works out how to encourage those already involved in outreach.
Pray for the 1.9 million Tsimihety of Madagascar who live in the mountainous North-Central area of Madagascar. Please pray for the church to grow in strength and unity, especially considering the trials it has been going through with difficulties in leadership. Pray that the Tsimihety Christians would not be led astray by false teachers.
Elle is part of a medical ministry team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Over Christmas, Elle was also able to share with her neighbours and friends the miracle of Christ’s birth, taking popcorn round and reading John 1 with them. Ma Fiona was particularly touched by it, and declared that what she liked best is that ‘I am now a child of God, because I believe that Jesus is the Son of God!’ Praise Him! Please pray for her to fully grasp what it means to follow Jesus. She has been building a house near her family at the coast, and as it’s nearly finished, she will probably move permanently to the coast soon. Ask that Aiden and her could support each other well, and that Elle can connect them with other believers in their area.
