Tim and Heather

Sent from Christ Church Liverpool

Tim is serving as Director for the AIM Asia Pacific Mobilising Region leading a small team in Australia and coordinating teams in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Alongside supporting the 35 or so long-term missionaries sent from the region, there is an increasing vision to engage more widely and deeply with churches across the Asia Pacific area to enable them to play a fuller part in reaching the unreached peoples of Africa and to send more gospel workers to the African harvest fields.ย  This has been the focus of Timโ€™s work over the last few years, and his passion to see churches more effectively involved in taking the gospel to unreached people groups.

Heather, who is a nurse, will be looking for work in the Gosford area. Although she is an Australian her family will still be a 3.5-hour flight away, so sheโ€™ll not be โ€˜going homeโ€™.ย  It does mean that Tim has a route to obtain a visa, application process permitting!

Tim and Heather are currently raising support and are looking for people who would like to partner with them in their ministry through both prayer and financial giving.ย

Latest Prayer News

Barry and Heather Mannย work with Growing Nations, an organisation based in Maphutseng, Lesotho, which shares Godโ€™s love through a focus on agricultural knowledge and training. Barry also serves as AIM Internationalโ€™s Crisis Consultant. Molula was a student at Growing Nations back in 2016/17. Shortly after graduating, she became a missionary herself in Cambodia, working with trafficked children who had no hope, teaching them about Godโ€™s love for them through Farming Godโ€™s Way. She is now back in Lesotho and has set up her own demonstration farm/training centre, where she is teaching her local community, particularly the young adults, how to practice Farming Godโ€™s Way. The journey has not been easy and she has faced resistance at times, but with Godโ€™s help, she has now been accepted by the community as they see the benefits that Farming Godโ€™s Way brings. As well as teaching practical skills, Molula is investing in the lives of the young people through weekly bible studies, providing the girls with a safe space to study after school, and she has also recently started a pre-school. Please pray for her as she continues to invest in the lives of others, pour out Godโ€™s love, and bring hope into the community.

Rebecca Welshย teaches chemistry and broader science at Rift Valley Academy (RVA), Kenya. Many of those Rebecca was closest to last year are no longer at RVA, so ask the Lord to provide good friendships and a real sense of community for Rebecca this year. Pray too for work visas as Rebeccaโ€™s and those of some other staff members still havenโ€™t been processed, which causes problems when travelling.

Alan and Pauline Jordanย serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. On Saturday 2nd August 2025 the first BTCP (Bible Training Course for Pastors) Graduation took place in Nanyuki, Kenya. Alan has taught this course in Nanyuki over the last two-and-a-half years, delivering over 500 hours of classroom instruction to Christian leaders from various church denominations. There were sixteen students who graduated with their certificate of completion. Also graduating were fifteen students with a certificate of completion from the teacher training course, which will enable them to teach the BTCP course to their own churches and people. They were trained by Edwin Ojodo, the BTCP coordinator in Kenya north. Pray for the graduates to put into practice all that they have learned and live fruitful and faithful lives in service of Jesus.

Pray for the 250,000ย Ndengereko of Tanzaniaย who live between the Ruvu and Rufigi Rivers on the southern coast of Tanzania.ย  Pray for the Ndengereko people to experience God powerfully at work in their lives, that they would not fear rejection from their community and that they would come under his lordship. Ask God to raise up bold Christian witnesses among the Ndengereko so that many would know his love for them and that he is the true Way. Pray for an AIM outreach team in the early stages of their work among the Ndengereko.

Pray that AIM will be relatable and inviting in all we do. Pray that the language we use would be warm and welcoming, encouraging others to join in the work, and that the way we communicate would create a sense of partnership and shared purpose. As we invite others to join in this extraordinary journey, pray we would be able to communicate clearly that AIM is made up of ordinary people, so we can convey that anyone, regardless of background or experience can engage in missions and that this would make serving or partnering with AIM accessible and invite participation.
