Daily prayers
Dawn
Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Give thanks that her friend Regina* has continued to stand firm in her faith in Jesus despite strong opposition from her father. Pray Regina will find encouragement from fellow believers when Dawn leaves on Home Assignment soon. Ask for God’s blessing on Dawn* as she prepares for Home Assignment, for peace in her heart and safe travels. *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. Give thanks for a good first half of the school term. Ask God to give Chris discernment as he supports the staff to teach, run afternoon activities and weekend events, while also working to prevent staff burnout. Pray for time and capacity for Sarah as she balances her master’s in psychology and her teaching priorities
Mix and Katie Miner
Mix and Katie Miner serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). RVA is AIM’s boarding school which supports missionaries across Africa. Ask God to sustain Mix as he mentors seven students, teaches, and speaks at Chapel when required. Pray for Katie as she balances her role in Child Safety with caring for their three young children. They ask for prayer as they support new students struggling with homesickness and students whose parents serve in areas which experience unrest and instability.
Rae
Rae* is serving in a creative access location, partnering with other missionaries in a language school business. Ask God to give her wisdom in her time management, as she seeks to balance her language school business with her everyday befriending ministry. Pray for her students and neighbours and for time to spend alone with God herself. *Names changed for security reasons
AIM Netherlands
Today, AIM Netherlands is partnering with Operation Mobilisation (OM) and other mission organisations in facilitating a week of prayer for those who have never heard the gospel of Jesus. Pray that many will engage in this week and that God will reveal himself to each person prayed for. If you would like to participate you can find more information here.
Timo and Laura
Timo and Laura serve in Finland among the refugee population, sharing Jesus with them and equipping Christian refugees to reach out to the Finns they live among and fellow internationals. Ask God to provide enough food, to sustain their food bank ministry. While increasing numbers of refugees are using the service, it has meant that some North African men Timo and Laura have invested in, have stopped coming as the food bank runs out of food quickly. Pray these men would come back, and that God will provide new opportunities to befriend African refugees through this ministry.
Tim
Tim is serving as Director for the AIM Asia Pacific Mobilising Region, leading a small team in Australia and coordinating teams in Hong Kong and New Zealand. He and his wife are preparing to move to Australia in January 2025. Give thanks that he has been able to visit the team in Australia. Pray that their move will go smoothly and that God will sustain Tim to continue working nocturnally with the team remotely until they arrive in Australia next year.
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar
Cees and Mirjam Molenaar recently moved from Kampala, to Kotido, Uganda, to engage the Karimojong people for Christ. They have been in Kotido for three weeks now; pray that they continue to settle in well. Ask God to provide a suitable, long-term home for them, as they are currently in temporary accommodation for six months. Pray God will comfort them in the absence of their youngest sons, Mozes and Obed, who recently started at Rift Valley Academy (RVA), AIM’s boarding school for the children of missionaries. Pray the boys will thrive academically and in spiritual discipleship at RVA and that God will give Cees and Mirjam renewed joy, knowing their boys are well and that there is much gospel work for them to get stuck into in Kotido.
Owen and Miriam Pugh
Owen and Miriam Pugh serve in AIM’s International Office, based in the UK. Owen is AIM International’s Office Manager and Miriam is the Personnel Director. Ask God to give Miriam discernment in which tasks and situations to carry and which to let go of as she supports the many needs of AIM personnel. Pray God will refresh her soul in His word and enable her to lay her own, and others’ needs at the Cross and trust Him to manage what she cannot.
