Daily prayers

Chad

Pray for reduced opposition from locals towards one of our teams in Chad. There has been opposition to the team’s presence and particularly to people spending time with them because of their witness to Christ. Pray that attitudes will change so they can renew friendships and make new friends without difficulty. Pray for opportunities to share the Good News and for open hearts and minds to hear and believe.

Mat and Katy Linley

Mat and Katy Linley are based in Kijabe, Kenya. Mat is Assistant Superintendent at Rift Valley Academy. Katy is involved in Family Health Clinical Officer (FHCO) training at Kijabe Hospital. As the Linley family prepare to return to the UK later this month, pray for the next cohort of trainee FHCOs, due to begin in September 2025. Online interviews were recently held, with eight strong applicants. As well as those from across Kenya, there is one clinician from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan and another from Torit, South Sudan. The different contexts where the applicants currently work are striking – dealing with war, cholera outbreaks, and civil unrest. Please pray for this group as they prepare paperwork and finances – that they would all be able to come to Kijabe in September.

Dawn

Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Pray for all the logistics (transport, supplies, food etc.) for a US medical team coming to visit different villages this week, and for opportunities to share truth as well as medical help. *Name changed for security reasons

North Africa

Pray for our teams in North Africa who will do regular “fishing pushes” – prayerfully going out into the local area to see who the Lord leads them to. Two workers met M* because she got into the taxi they were in. They spent a whole day with her and also met for a second time later in the week and again shared with her. They are still in touch via WhatsApp and plan to meet again. Pray for M* to read God’s word for herself and that He would open her eyes to the truths there. *Name changed for security reasons

Claire Weddell

Claire Weddell is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Give thanks for the opportunity to participate in the ‘Send Africa’ Conference for Mobilizers. Please pray for her as she considers how best to implement all that she learned, and for the team of mobilizers as they prepare for future courses and follow-up, especially for the youth.

Karimojong of Uganda

Pray for the 960,000 Karimojong of Uganda. Half of this population is under the age of 18. They live in northeastern Uganda, bordering South Sudan to the North and Kenya to the East. Pray for an increasing use of the Bible, especially during church services. There is a strong emphasis on worship and praise, but the Bible is not read a lot during the service. Pray for a hunger for God’s word in the church, and in the lives of individual followers of Jesus.

Our story

Africa Inland Mission has been leading people into meaningful ministry for over 100 years, but the work is far from finished. As we press on, pray for all involved as we pursue the critical tasks of mobilizing, equipping, training, and sending both local African believers and expatriates as missionaries, and as we continue to adapt and embrace creative ways to bring the message of Christ to an ever-changing world.

Claudia

Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. The students she is studying the gospel of John with have expressed how much they appreciate being able to read the Word and talk about it as a group. Please pray for them, that they would also get excited and be disciplined in reading the Bible for themselves and meeting with God individually.

Sandrine

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada, though people of other nationalities are often impacted too. In the Summer of 2023 Rose, an immigrant, arrived from Chile, not knowing anyone. She went to the foodbank at a partner church and heard about the French classes Sandrine was just starting. She came to the classes, then to church, and met the Lord. She was baptised in April. This miracle caused great joy. Pray that her entire family, who have since joined her, will also meet Christ. Despite this, Sandrine is sometimes discouraged by the time it takes to see fruit. The spiritual struggle is tangible with some, but it teaches her to trust in the Lord, who acts in the invisible and who simply asks us to trust and obey.
