Frank and Josie

After eighteen years in Africa, Frank and Josie (names changed) are now back in the UK serving with Borderless.ย  Frank is mentoring young men in a local High School and Josie is helping out at an English conversation class and a befriending programme.

They began serving with AIM in 2002, when they worked for two years as volunteer coordinators for the Eastern Region office in Kenya. On their return to the UK they both went into teaching, and in 2009 went to Namibia to serve on an AIM team working with the Ministry of Education and the local church on the Kaisosi Evangelical Bible Church Orphans and Vulnerable Children Project, seeking to serve orphans and vulnerable children. In summer 2010 they returned to working in the Eastern Region office as Short Term Coordinators, and in 2012 joined a team seeking to reach the unreached on one of the islands in the Indian Ocean. In December 2013, Frank and Josie returned to serve in Kenya again, seeking to serve missionaries through educating and discipling their children.ย ย 

Back in the UK for medical reasons, we are excited about the doors that seem to be opening with ‘New Scots’ and the skills God has given us to serve in these areas.

Latest Prayer News

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).

Claireย 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 12thย April.

In partnership with the local church,ย Sandrineย shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montrรฉal, 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 Godโ€™s favour. What a grace to know Jesus our liberator. Pray for these families to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Hannah Jacksonย 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*ย 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 didnโ€™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.
