Daily prayers
Jessica Goldschmidt-Habyarimana
Jessica Goldschmidt-Habyarimana serves as the administrator for the AIM France office. Pray for Jess as she runs an AIM stand at an event in the French speaking part of Switzerland today. Please pray for all the speakers and participants. Please pray for her conversations with the people God puts in her path, that they may be inspired by God for cross-cultural mission
Kay
Kay* leads a medical team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Give thanks that after weeks of problems with her solar system, she now has power in her house. Praise God that she is feeling more settled in her neighbourhood and that she has made a friend who shares a favourite local dish with Kay whenever she cooks it. Kay* feels God has placed this friend on her heart and asks for prayer that God will give her opportunities to talk about things of faith with her. Pray that God will be preparing her friend’s heart to hear and receive the gospel of Jesus Christ and that the Holy Spirit will give Kay the words to say to her that will engage her interest in knowing more about Kay*’s God. *Names changed for security reasons
Simon and Miriam Desborough
Simon and Miriam Desborough are serving in Antananarivo, Madagascar, mobilising Malagasy Christians for God’s mission. With her expertise as a nurse, Miriam serves vulnerable women. Pray for a woman whom Miriam and her colleagues have worked with to find new ways of supporting herself, but who has returned to her old job that doesn’t treat her well. Pray with Miriam that she and her colleagues can continue to share with her the hope Jesus offers in difficult situations. Ask God to provide the practical, spiritual and emotional help this woman, and many other vulnerable women, need, to see lasting change in their lives.
Pete and Libby Halestrap
Pete and Libby Halestrap served in medical ministry at Kijabe Hospital in Kenya. The family is now in the UK indefinitely while Pete has been undergoing chemotherapy and other medical treatment. Give thanks that Pete’s latest MRI scan has shown that his tumour remains stable with no signs of growth! Pray for continued healing for Pete and that the tumour remains stable. Praise God that Pete has been able to continue his ministry with AIM in a new way, working on online training materials with the education team at Kijabe Hospital, and using his skills and experience to equip others to serve the Lord in medical ministry in Kenya.
Sandrine
In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. Ask God to provide volunteers to help Sandrine run a tutoring project she and her church are planning to begin in January 2025 for the children from North African families who attended their kids’ clubs. This practical ministry will open more doors to build relationships with these children and their families while helping them learn. Without more volunteers, the project will struggle to begin. Pray for more churches to partner with Sandrine and encourage their members to get involved.
Kathleen Burns
Kathleen served in Uganda as Health Coordinator and Short-Term Coordinator for AIM’s Central Region. Now back in the UK, she’s a member of AIM’s Borderless team, working with the African diaspora in Scotland. Give thanks with Kathleen that one of the boys she taught in Sunday School in Uganda has continued to follow Jesus and has recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theology and wants to serve in children’s and youth ministry in his hometown. Ask God to give him opportunities to teach and disciple children and young people, just as Kathleen did for him, and that more children in Uganda will grow up hearing about and putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
Holly
Holly* serves at Kijabe Hospital, Kenya. The national health insurance fund recently introduced a new system, which has had some initial problems, meaning people were unable to apply for funding for treatment, leaving many unable to access the care they need. Sadly, Holly* has seen at least one patient die as they avoided going to the hospital due to cost and their sickness progressed. Pray that the system will soon be changed to provide the necessary support for people needing care and that God will strengthen Holly and give her opportunities to share her hope in Jesus as the ultimate healer of bodies and souls.
Hannah Jackson
Hannah Jackson has begun her new role as Assistant Child Safety Officer for AIM. Give thanks for safe travels to Kenya and pray that God will provide Hannah with a faithful church to join and a place of her own to live in. Ask God to give her peace and capacity as she learns all the information needed for her role while also settling into a new country. Pray that Hannah will find joy in her work, knowing that through her, God is working to keep children safe.
David and Patricia Techand
David and Patricia Techand are preparing to serve with AIM in Tanzania in 2025. Give thanks for the blessed time they had saying farewell to friends and family in Switzerland while on Home Assignment from their previous work in Kenya. Pray that God will provide a house and car for them in Tanzania and that the logistics of their move from Kenya will be smooth.
