Daily prayers
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. Pray for her language helper Barbra*, with whom she listens to the stories of Abraham. They have been listening to the Bible as part of language study for a whole year. Pray the conversations about the God Beth* follows will lead her to pursue a relationship with the Father for herself. *Names changed for security reasons
Annette
Annette* serves in AIM’s Southern Region Office. Give thanks that God has provided the funds she was lacking, and that she can now look for a permanent place to live. Pray she will find a suitable and affordable place soon. This week she and her team welcomed fourteen new missionaries to AIM’s first Africa Based Orientation in Johannesburg. Ask God to give Annette the energy and capacity to fully engage in this intensive three-week programme and pray it will be a useful time for all those preparing to begin their assignments in November. *Names changed for security reasons
Prisoners in North Africa
Continue to pray for Christian prisoners in North Africa who have been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus for some time now. Give thanks that, after multiple postponements, their trial did take place on October 1st. The verdict was due to be announced the next day, however, there has been no news as yet. Pray that these believers will be released and that God will protect and sustain them and their families as they wait.
Hervé and Nathalia Ramangalahy
Hervé and Nathalia Ramangalahy were part of a ministry team based on the island of Nosy Be, off the northwest coast of Madagascar and are now on their final Home Assignment before exploring what God has in store for them next. Give thanks that they have settled well into life in Switzerland and their children are enjoying their new schools. They heard that five of their Malagasy church’s young people were baptised in August. Praise God for these young believers and pray that God will strengthen them to faithfully follow Him their whole lives. Pray with Hervé and Nathalia that God will provide leaders, and the resources needed to continue the youth ministry in Nosy be.
Claudia Middendorf
Claudia Middendorf normally serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. Praise God for her time of Home Assignment in Germany and for many encouraging meetings. Pray that supporters who heard Claudia share about her ministry will continue to partner with her in prayer, giving, and other involvement. Pray for smooth planning and peace for Claudia as she prepares to return to Mozambique at the end of this month.
Paul and Elizabeth Makau
Paul and Elizabeth Makau work at Africa International University in Nairobi, Kenya; a Christian university providing Christ-centred leadership training to church leaders so that they can transform their communities. Pray for them as they travel to Marsabit, a county in Kenya, where they and their colleagues will go to multiple locations to share the gospel and equip church leaders. Pray God will give them safe journeys and that their support will be well received and produce fruit in the hearts and lives of church leaders and their congregations, as well as the unreached people groups in the area.
Inge Michel
Inge Michel serves at SEMTENA in Nampula, Mozambique, where she teaches and trains pastors and church workers. She has recently submitted her documents to renew her work permit. Pray for a smooth immigration process and that Inge will be approved to remain in Mozambique to continue serving God through her ministry.
Ben and Christelle Simonin
Ben and Christelle Simonin are working to make disciples among the unreached of Mayotte. Give thanks for the safe delivery of their baby boy this week! Pray for a good recovery for Christelle and for God to sustain this new family as they adjust to life as a family of three.
Claire Weddell
Claire Weddell is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Thank God for the launch of a new course (in Portuguese) to mobilize young people for the gospel. Please pray for Claire and the team as they follow up with the 89 students who completed the course in September, and as they run the course again today.
