Andrew Wallace

Sent from Rayners Lane Baptist Church

Andrew served as part of a Focus team among the unreached Laarim people of South Sudan, seeking to share the gospel in creative ways.

He began serving among the Laarim in South Sudan in August 2015. The Laarim people live in the Boya mountain range approximately 250km east of Juba. Andrew is focused on language and culture learning, and building mutual trust and respect with the Laarim people. As these relationships develop, Andrew shared the truth about Jesus with them, discipling them in how to live as Christians in a culture dominated by traditional religion.

Andrew also guided the Laarim in the crafting of Scriptural songs: the transforming words of the Bible in their heart language, attached to their heart music.

On Tuesday 10th April a number of us from the office attended a thanksgiving service for the life of Colin Molyneux who served with AIM in various capacities for over 35 years, including in Kenya, Madagascar, Chad and the UK. During the service Peter Maclure, a retired AIM missionary, read out a tribute to Colin’s work with AIM which you can read here. Please pray for Colin’s wife, Rosemary, and the wider family as they continue to mourn a much loved husband, father, brother and grandfather. Give thanks for the ways in which God blessed and used Colin throughout a life which has been characterised as “a life lived for Jesus”.

“Discovery Bible Study (DBS) has been continuing at different homes within the community with many encouraging signs of people wanting to learn more about the Word of God. Mary Mariko continues in her enthusiastic, faith-filled prayers and has also been song writing – much to my delight! There are testimonies from the community of answered prayer, as well as from within our team. God is demonstrating his power among the Laarim. Pray that there would be more homes eager to host a DBS. The Jesus film (a film of the Gospel of Luke that has been made available in the language of a neighbouring tribe) is also being shown in different homes upon invitation from the head of the household. Pray that it would cause many to want to find out more about Jesus.”

South Sudan
