Daily prayers
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
Africa’s unreached peoples
The Bible records the Lord at work in Africa throughout its pages, with Jesus seeking refuge in Egypt as a child and the eunuch taking the gospel news back to Ethiopia. As AIM serves in over 20 African nations and around the world, join with us in praying for the Lord to continue to work so that Christ-centred churches are established and thriving among all of Africa’s peoples.
African Diaspora
Pray for the African Diaspora, the estimated nearly 19 million Africans living off the continent of Africa – about 11 million live in Europe, some of whom maybe your near neighbours. Many of the African Diaspora come from nations that are closed to missionary outreach, so their presence in Europe, Australia, and the Americas presents a unique opportunity to share the Good News with men and women who may have never heard it in their homelands, and who may one day return to their nation of origin transformed by Christ and eager to share their new hope with their friends and family. Pray for your African neighbours and for our teams working among the African Diaspora.
Ruth
Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. This month she has had a lady joining her to see the work the team are doing and to consider if this is what the Lord is calling her to full-time. Pray that this visitor would have good health and stamina in the heat, a good relationship building experience and guidance for the longer-term future.
Kay
Kay* leads a medical team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Pray for R*, a local believer, who was recently arrested after a social media post was discovered answering some questions. She spent one night at the station then another in prison, before her case went to court. She was looking at the possibility of a several month sentence but ended up being let off with a fine and a ban on ‘sharing’. She came out rejoicing at the many opportunities she’d been given over those two nights to share with guards and other inmates. Please pray for wisdom for her as she continues to be bold. We have seen an increase in persecution on each island in recent months. *Names changed for security reasons
Rebecca Welsh
Rebecca Welsh teaches chemistry and broader science at Rift Valley Academy, (RVA) Kenya. Thank the Lord for the relationships she has built with staff and students so far. Pray for these to deepen and that she will be able to find a good balance of teaching, coaching, weekend activities, and rest. Pray too for a quick and full recovery after she fell and shattered her elbow.
