Daily prayers
Claudia Middendorf
Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She is working on several literature projects. She hopes to either translate and/or adjust existing biblical materials, or write new booklets that would be helpful for spiritual growth and understanding in the local churches, while also being affordable. Please pray for wisdom and discernment to follow God’s will in this.
Christ is Risen
Following the celebrations by believers throughout Africa of the death and resurrection of our Saviour over these past few days, pray for our African brothers and sisters in Christ to be encouraged and strengthened to re-commit to wholehearted obedience to their Saviour and bold proclamation of this wonderful message. Ask the Lord to thrust out workers into areas where this Good News has not yet been heard.
The Digo
The 500,000 Digo people are located in NE Tanzania and SE Kenya. They are Bantu people and are mainly fishermen, farmers, basket weavers and potters. Pray for Immanuel*, the son of a Digo sheikh, who has now come to Christ. He is a secret believer at the moment. Pray for him to grow in his faith and for God to grant him boldness to openly follow Christ in due time. Pray for Digo believers to grow in grace and truth and to share with others the good things God has done for them. * Name changed for security reasons.
Collaboration
Pray for all in AIM as we seek collaboration with like-minded churches, organizations, and individuals to see the name of Jesus worshipped by all African peoples, recognizing and rejoicing that the Great Commission is for the whole Body of Christ and its different parts. (Eph 4:15-16).
Claire
Claire is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Give thanks for a truly blessed visit to the Southern Region Office. Please pray for Claire as she shares at a local church conference over the Easter weekend, and for fruit from the seminar the team of mobilizers presented on 12th April.
Sandrine
In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. Praise the Lord for the invitation to the home of two Muslim women to break the fast during Ramadan. The food was endless and excellent, and the evening gave Sandrine a better understanding of their customs and religion. However, it was painful to see them in this slavery of Islam, counting on their good deeds to try to attain God’s favour. What a grace to know Jesus our liberator. Pray for these families to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.
Hannah Jackson
Hannah Jackson is the Assistant Child Safety Officer for AIM. Pray that the team will be able to implement and disseminate what they learned at the global CSPN (the international safeguarding network that AIM is part of) conference in Florida. The theme was, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Digital: helping children walk safely in digital spaces’. Pray too for strengthening relationships with Tumaini Counselling Centre, part of AIM’s member care provision, in order to support families and keep children safe.
Ruth
Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Give thanks for new connections, deepening of relationships, and some good chats about why she didn’t need to be fasting during Ramadan to earn favour, because the Lord Jesus has already opened the way to heaven. Pray for the local body of believers as they would like to do an event with the AIM team at Easter time. Please pray that plans will come together and it would be a good time to encourage each other and celebrate together. * Name changed for security reasons.
AIM in Southern Africa
Pray for the process of merging the ministries of AIM South Africa with the AIM Southern Region to establish a new region, the AIM Southern Africa region. Tshepang Basupi is the Director of this newly merged region, which unites the functions of both sending and receiving missionaries. Pray that this strategic consolidation will better reflect the current and future realities of global missions and will greatly enhance efforts to minister to the unreached peoples of Southern Africa.
