Daily prayers
Bara
The Bara people live in the grasslands of south-central Madagascar. PrayAfrica writes: “We are overjoyed to witness our Malagasy pastors and evangelists, our faithful co-labourers, sharing the Gospel through the Jesus Film and discipling people afterward. Villages have been reached, witch doctors converted, cattle thieves transformed, hundreds hearing about Jesus, and, by the power of Christ, churches scattered throughout Bara land. What a joy! Furthermore, The Antandroy and Mahafaly people are also being reached by our partners. What an incredible harvest we are seeing, all by the grace of Christ. This month alone, 12 villages have been reached with the Gospel. Since 2017, that brings the total to 523 villages! Please pray for abundant fruit from these efforts.”
Peter and Katy Wilson
Peter and Katy Wilson are on leave in the UK after working at Rift Valley Academy (RVA), an AIM-run school for missionary children. Ask God to give them His peace as personal circumstances have led them to decide not to return to Kenya and RVA. Pray for them as they explore possible cross-cultural ministry options with the AIM Europe Office and as they lean on God to support and guide them in this next phase of life and service.
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 that her visa has been renewed for another year. Pray God will reveal Himself to her friends Alice* and Sophie*, with whom she has been meeting to study the Bible. Sophie* is due to be married and move away soon, pray that God will give Ruth* many opportunities to speak with her about Jesus before she leaves and ask Him to send another believer to continue these conversations with Sophie* in her new town. *Names changed for security reasons.
Rex and Ruby
Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it. Pray for their friend Amanda*, who sadly became unemployed again and who has begun an online recipe and meal delivery service to support herself and use her gifts in cooking. Pray that God will provide her with a reliable income. She often speaks as if she is a believer, however, she denies Jesus as Lord. Pray that God will open her heart to acknowledge Jesus as God and Saviour. *Names changed for security reasons.
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. It has been over a year since the family had to leave Kenya, but there is still much to reflect on and process, emotionally and spiritually. Pray that God will continue to give them strength as they persevere through challenges and explore future work and ministry opportunities. Pray for encouraging results from Pete’s latest monitoring MRI in September.
Jurgan and Katja Hofmann
Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are returning to Madagascar today after being on Home Assignment in the Netherlands. They have had a busy time travelling to see friends and supporters and presenting at partnering churches about their ministry. Pray that God will sustain them as they travel today and as they resume their work in Madagascar. Pray for financial provision and a good balance of ministry and rest.
Central Region Conference
Pray for safe journeys as missionaries travel and meet for the first day of AIM’s Central Region Conference. Pray that this will be an encouraging time of reflection and equipping. Ask God to speak to each person attending, through His word and the stories of what He is doing through their colleagues’ ministries.
Fulani of West Africa
The unreached Fulani people live in West Africa. PrayAfrica.org writes: “Please pray for a young Christian woman who has been separated from her (Christian) husband for almost 2 years. She is currently studying at a Christian-run sewing school. The head of the school called me yesterday to say that she had a long and intense conversation with the young woman last Saturday because she refuses to return to her husband even though he wants her to return. The director gave the young woman an ultimatum telling her to go pray and pour out her heart before God (her discontent, her pain) and to pray for her husband. She clearly told her that they, as the head of the school, do not support her in her decision and are very disappointed because they welcomed her as their own daughter. The young woman must give her answer today. Please pray for a miracle and that she chooses to trust God who can transform their relationship.”
Barry and Heather Mann
Barry and Heather work with Growing Nations in Maphutseng, Lesotho. Heather is the CEO and Barry is AIM’s International Crisis Consultant and balances this role with his involvement in Growing Nations. Praise God that they have been able to book flights to visit Lesotho and the Growing Nations team there, after many previous delays. Ask God to give them peace in their preparation and pray that this trip will go ahead without any issues. Pray for the Growing Nations team as they demonstrate sustainable methods of farming and land management. Pray that those they partner with will be open to ‘farming God’s way’ and will adopt these methods on their own farms, so that together, food can be grown, stored and distributed effectively, and the love of Jesus Christ will be known by all, through His provision.
