Frank and Josie

After eighteen years in Africa, Frank and Josie (names changed) are now back in the UK serving with Borderless.  Frank is mentoring young men in a local High School and Josie is helping out at an English conversation class and a befriending programme.

They began serving with AIM in 2002, when they worked for two years as volunteer coordinators for the Eastern Region office in Kenya. On their return to the UK they both went into teaching, and in 2009 went to Namibia to serve on an AIM team working with the Ministry of Education and the local church on the Kaisosi Evangelical Bible Church Orphans and Vulnerable Children Project, seeking to serve orphans and vulnerable children. In summer 2010 they returned to working in the Eastern Region office as Short Term Coordinators, and in 2012 joined a team seeking to reach the unreached on one of the islands in the Indian Ocean. In December 2013, Frank and Josie returned to serve in Kenya again, seeking to serve missionaries through educating and discipling their children.  

Back in the UK for medical reasons, we are excited about the doors that seem to be opening with ‘New Scots’ and the skills God has given us to serve in these areas.

Latest Prayer News

Kay* leads a medical team on the Indian Ocean Islands. Praise the Lord for the way technology like Facebook and Apps are being used in Gospel work. A local Christian posted something on Facebook which was seen by an unbeliever who was drawn to find out more and is now believing.

Please join us in prayer for eight new AIM missionaries in South Africa who are currently in the process of raising prayer and financial support. May God provide abundantly and strengthen their faith as they prepare to step into their calling.

Graham and Fiona* served in a creative access location and are back in the UK for their final home assignment before their retirement. Normally the home assignment tour is a fun time of catching up, and updating people on their ministry in Africa.  This time they have the added emotion of bringing closure to the “us in Africa” aspect of these relationships, although the bonds of love and commitment remain as strong as ever. Pray for them in this ongoing transition and thank the Lord for their years of faithful service.

Rebecca Welsh teaches chemistry and broader science at Rift Valley Academy, (RVA) Kenya. She is thankful to God for a positive term and for deepening relationships with the students. She and another member of staff have a small group of the senior girls round for a meal each week. These girls have experienced so much in life and are preparing for big changes as they graduate, and Rebbecca finds it a privilege to support them on this journey. With so much going on, it can be hard for staff to find time to make connections and build friendships, which can make the term breaks hard at times. Pray for good friendships and support networks for the staff, particularly as this term there will be a lot of change and goodbyes.

Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She is currently teaching Biblical Geography at the small Bible School run by her church. It has become clear that most of the Pastors and Church leaders know little about the Bible and find it difficult to understand texts and recognise details. Pray for the successful completion of the lessons in Biblical Geography and that the “Methods of Bible Study” course she will teach later in the year will prove fruitful in the lives and ministry of those attending.
