Chris Klompas

Sent from Spalding Baptist Church

Chris served as part of an Extreme TIMO team in the mountains of Lesotho, seeking to reach the local shepherd communities with the gospel from 2014 – 2016.

After going to Bible college in 2010, Chris joined AIM and the Training In Ministry Outreach (TIMO) team in Lesotho, which started in Autumn 2014.

In the mountains of Lesotho Chris served among an unreached shepherding community who were waiting to hear the gospel. In order for the team to tell them the good news, they needed to learn their language and submerge themselves in their culture. Therefore Chris worked as a shepherd apprentice, living among the shepherds and sharing their lives.

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”.

“I was really encouraged one evening when Mahlanya (one of the shepherds currently staying at Fanana cattle post) started reciting the Bible stories he’d been listening to via the audio bibles, in Sesotho, from memory! He’s done this a couple of evenings around the fire and we’ve also found a couple of other shepherds listening to the stories on their own in their own time, without any prompting from us! Our language as a team has come on in leaps and bounds and we’re all looking forward to the next few months as we start to seek opportunities to intentionally initiate gospel-orientated conversations with the shepherds at our cattle post and the surrounding cattle posts.” Please pray for Chris and the rest of the team as they seek opportunities to explain the Bible stories the shepherds are listening to and memorising and as they seek to share the gospel with them.
