Claire Weddell is based in Chimoio, Mozambique, working with local churches in discipleship and leadership development. Give thanks for the opportunity to participate in the ‘Send Africa’ Conference for Mobilizers. Please pray for her as she considers how best to implement all that she learned, and for the team of mobilizers as they prepare for future courses and follow-up, especially for the youth.

Africa Inland Mission has been leading people into meaningful ministry for over 100 years, but the work is far from finished. As we press on, pray for all involved as we pursue the critical tasks of mobilizing, equipping, training, and sending both local African believers and expatriates as missionaries, and as we continue to adapt and embrace creative ways to bring the message of Christ to an ever-changing world.

Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. The students she is studying the gospel of John with have expressed how much they appreciate being able to read the Word and talk about it as a group. Please pray for them, that they would also get excited and be disciplined in reading the Bible for themselves and meeting with God individually.

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada, though people of other nationalities are often impacted too. In the Summer of 2023 Rose, an immigrant, arrived from Chile, not knowing anyone. She went to the foodbank at a partner church and heard about the French classes Sandrine was just starting. She came to the classes, then to church, and met the Lord. She was baptised in April. This miracle caused great joy. Pray that her entire family, who have since joined her, will also meet Christ. Despite this, Sandrine is sometimes discouraged by the time it takes to see fruit. The spiritual struggle is tangible with some, but it teaches her to trust in the Lord, who acts in the invisible and who simply asks us to trust and obey.
