Daily prayers
Kathleen Burns
Kathleen served in Uganda as Health Coordinator and Short-Term Coordinator for AIM’s Central Region. Now back in the UK, she’s a member of AIM’s Borderless team, working with the African diaspora in Scotland. Give thanks with Kathleen that one of the boys she taught in Sunday School in Uganda has continued to follow Jesus and has recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theology and wants to serve in children’s and youth ministry in his hometown. Ask God to give him opportunities to teach and disciple children and young people, just as Kathleen did for him, and that more children in Uganda will grow up hearing about and putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
Holly
Holly* serves at Kijabe Hospital, Kenya. The national health insurance fund recently introduced a new system, which has had some initial problems, meaning people were unable to apply for funding for treatment, leaving many unable to access the care they need. Sadly, Holly* has seen at least one patient die as they avoided going to the hospital due to cost and their sickness progressed. Pray that the system will soon be changed to provide the necessary support for people needing care and that God will strengthen Holly and give her opportunities to share her hope in Jesus as the ultimate healer of bodies and souls.
Hannah Jackson
Hannah Jackson has begun her new role as Assistant Child Safety Officer for AIM. Give thanks for safe travels to Kenya and pray that God will provide Hannah with a faithful church to join and a place of her own to live in. Ask God to give her peace and capacity as she learns all the information needed for her role while also settling into a new country. Pray that Hannah will find joy in her work, knowing that through her, God is working to keep children safe.
David and Patricia Techand
David and Patricia Techand are preparing to serve with AIM in Tanzania in 2025. Give thanks for the blessed time they had saying farewell to friends and family in Switzerland while on Home Assignment from their previous work in Kenya. Pray that God will provide a house and car for them in Tanzania and that the logistics of their move from Kenya will be smooth.
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.
