Daily prayers
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar recently moved from Kampala to Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. A vision is coming together for a mission hub, a training centre which supports, promotes and propels missionary ministry. The first concrete step is to buy land and begin building a house. Pray for a smooth process in this and firmer details for the vision moving forwards.
Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo stands at the brink of war again. Whilst there is currently no direct threat from the rebel groups to any AIM members, the resulting instability has required the team in Bunia to follow their contingency protocol and relocate to Adi, a safer, more secure location. The threats to our partner church, CECA 20, remain. We appreciate their care for AIM members, as they advise them for their safety, while they themselves remain to minister in a situation fraught with danger. Praise God that our personnel are all safe, but pray for God’s grace for our church partner, and cry out for mercy for the Congolese people.
International Director
Today is the deadline for AIM members to vote on the appointment of a new International Director. Pray for wisdom and the Lord’s provision at this time of transition.
Bara People
Hopelessness and suffering are written on the faces of many Bara people who live in the grasslands of south-central Madagascar, an area which is not easily accessible. Pain spreads through every layer of this culture that venerates death, worships ancestors, and refuses to come to the Creator for relief. Yet, the God of the universe is at work! Through the Gospel, the Eternal One is revealing His glory, restoring, and reconciling humanity to Himself. This is Sandy’s testimony to what God is doing in her life. Pray many more Bara will experience God’s work in their lives as well.
Christ centred
Pray that all in AIM would be Christ centred: compelled by Christ’s love (2 Cor 5:14) to love, pray for, and proclaim the Gospel to Africa’s unreached peoples. Pray that our sufficiency, hope, and ministry would flow from our relationship with Christ. Pray that we would serve by His grace and strength and submit to His will.
Annemarie Boks
Annemarie Boks works in Adi, DR Congo as Director of an AIDS Awareness Program, and with the Bethsaida project, which finances education and training for children orphaned by AIDS. There is much disruption in DR Congo at present, caused by active war zones and the ceasing of US development aid. Pray for AIM staff currently displaced for safety reasons and for necessary HIV tests and antiretrovirals to be sourced for the AIDS awareness Program.
Graham and Fiona
Graham and Fiona* served in a creative access location and are back in the UK for their final home assignment before their retirement. Give thanks with them for the amazing privilege it is to maintain deep friendships with friends & “family” in various places in Africa. Pray for them in this time of transition as they seek to settle and establish roots, fellowship and community in Scotland. * Names changed for security reasons
Beth
In a creative access location, Beth* has the joy of reaching out to many with the love of Jesus through language teaching and daily befriending. Praise the Lord that her language helper and dear friend Lydia* is falling in love with our Book and the God she is meeting through it. She loves the stories and seems to have amazing insights into the deeper meanings. The Lord also seems to bless Beth* with a bizarre ability to explain things to her in the language she is learning and they love the times they spend together. Even more wonderful is that Lydia* is sharing these stories with her friends. “I mean I have to teach them about the stories because they don’t know them.” Praise HIM! Please keep praying for her and her friends. * Names changed for security reasons
Frank and Josie
Frank and Josie are part of AIM’s Borderless Team in the UK. Josie writes, “Being at the beginning of this new ministry where there is no structure to step into has felt like walking in the dark. Making connections and trying new avenues for ministry all take a lot of time. Sometimes an avenue opens up and sometimes it closes. I am not surrounded by the people I am trying to reach and so it takes more inventive ways to implant yourself into people’s lives. This is all a steep learning curve for both Frank and I.” Pray that they will know the Lord walking with them in this transition and leading them into fruitful discipling relationships.
