Daily prayers
Amelia
Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Ask God to strengthen and protect Christ-followers in her community as there is increased hostility towards them from their neighbours, some throwing rocks at them as they go about their day and their children being beaten up at school. Ask God to strengthen Amelia and the local body of believers as they seek opportunities to share their faith in Jesus amid this opposition. *Names changed for security reasons
Dawn
Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Ask God to prepare her heart to say goodbye to her friends on the Islands as she returns to the UK for a short visit. Pray for safe travels and a blessed time in the UK meeting with friends and family and updating her church and supporters on how God is using her and His people to share the gospel on the Islands. *Names changed for security reasons
Annemarie Boks
Annemarie Boks works in Adi, DR Congo as a Director of an Aids Awareness Program and works with the Bethesda project, which supports children who have been orphaned by their parents dying of the consequences of Aids by helping them pay for their school fees. Ask God to comfort the three children Bethsaida supported through school, who failed their exams in October. One of them has had the courage to accept the project’s offer to return to school again for a second year, however, the other two students have exhausted the three-year support the project could offer them. Pray that God will bless the teaching and studies of the one student returning to school, that she will pass next time. Pray for God to provide the means for the Bethsaida project to be able to support more children and young people for longer periods of time.
Ann
Ann works among an unreached people group in northern Chad. Give thanks that she arrived in the UK safely to begin her Home Assignment. Ask God to give her rest and capacity as she visits friends and supporters. Pray with her for her church in Chad which continues raising money to finish building a bigger building. Pray that the congregation will be built up spiritually also. Several women left her town around the time she was leaving for her Home Assignment, so pray with Ann that the women who are left will be united in serving God together and growing in their faith through listening to God’s word. She gave the audio bible to as many as possible in their language before she left. Pray that they will listen to these and reflect on what they hear.
African Diaspora in the UK
Pray for the African diaspora in England; PrayAfrica.org writes: “Praise for great spiritual openness in our English conversation class and an interest in hearing Bible stories. Pray for students’ to believe the good news. Praise that the current parenting class is going well (5 Sudanese mums and 2 Somali mums). Pray for openness to the Father’s love.”
EU Office
Give thanks that the UK Office has appointed a Maternity Cover Personnel Administrator. Today Paul will begin his role. Ask God to give him peace and capacity to take on a lot of new information as he is introduced to his role in the coming weeks. Pray for all the necessary pieces to fall into place to facilitate a smooth handover process and that he will continue to be a blessed answer to prayer for the Personnel Team
UK Borderless
Give thanks with one of AIM Europe’s Borderless workers for a small church group who go door to door in a multi-cultural area in London, offering prayer and sharing the gospel. Ask God to continue giving them boldness though the Holy SpirIt and that those opening their doors would be touched by the love of Christ shown to them, would receive prayer and be happy to hear more about the gospel. Pray for protection over this group and that God will sow seeds in many hearts through this ministry.
John and Zoe Putman
John and Zoe Putman serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA); AIM’s boarding school which educates and disciples the children of missionaries, in Kijabe, Kenya. Give thanks that God has sustained them in all the responsibilities involved with being Dorm Parents for the 7th grade girl’s dorm, teaching their classes and maintaining family life. Today they travel back to the UK for Home Assignment. Pray for safe travel and for God to give them wisdom in planning to rest well in addition to visiting their supporters and church partners. Ask God to give them peace as they spend Christmas in the UK and that they will be refreshed with family and friends.
Edward
Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Give thanks that the government elections in his country went peacefully. There are big changes ahead and the leadership of the university Edward teaches at is expected to be replaced in line with the new government leadership. Ask God to give Edward peace as he anticipates some of his colleagues leaving, many of whom he has built a good friendship with. Pray that God will open further doors for Edward to speak about his faith in Jesus with his current colleagues and that they will be interested in learning more. *Names changed for security reasons
