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.
