Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

Zillah Whitehouse serves as a Physiotherapist at the Mbarara University of Science and Technology, working alongside national colleagues in treatment, training and discipleship. Praise God for the opportunity to teach a course on worldviews and ethics to the physiotherapy students as part of their curriculum and be able to have deep conversations on the concepts of truth and belief. Pray for the finalist students at the university who are attending a training course to help them study the Bible and think about ways in which their faith will impact their life after campus. Ask that they will be prepared to stand firm in the challenges ahead and consider where God may want them to work as a witness for him.

Mix and Katie Miner serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). Katie is making sure that students who need help in different areas, like feeling lonely or having troubles with their peers, are cared for. It is a challenging, but vital role. She visited an orphanage called Valley Light, where her sister-in-law works. It is located near a major truck stop on the road to Uganda. Truck stops mean a lot of drugs, alcohol, and prostitution. This leads to babies being discarded in the ditch by the road. It is heartbreakingly dark, but the orphanage lives up to its name: bringing light to the valley.

Safina Street Network is an outreach working with vulnerable children and young people in Tanzania. Praise the Lord for their new Director of Ministry, Nicholaus Duma, who with the help of Safina, was able to leave living on the streets, complete his school education, and obtain a bachelor’s degree in social work. He has been working for Safina since 2013. His vision and prayer is to support staff so they can give children and young people the best possible care, spiritually, psychologically, educationally, and physically, all with a godly upbringing. He hopes that they will become responsible and independent young people with a bright future. Just as the Lord has done in his life.

Pray that we at AIM would indeed be serving and equipping the church of Jesus Christ to make disciples of the peoples of Africa: partnering with churches, reaching Africa’s unreached.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE

Church Development

We hope that our church development work with local African churches will lead them to be centres of hope and love that draw more people to Jesus. LEARN MORE
