Hannah Jackson

Sent from St Nicholas’ Church, Sevenoaks

Hannah is part of a TIMO team working among the unreached Swahili and Wangindo peoples of Likawage, southeast Tanzania.

Hannah trained as a teacher and taught Geography in the UK for a number of years before spending a year on AIM’s short term programme in Korr, northern Kenya.

Since then, she has worked with Oak Hall Expeditions planning Christian holidays and conferences, and afterwards served with St Nicholas church, Sevenoaks as a ministry trainee. This role enabled her to continue studying by attending the Proclamation Trust’s Cornhill Training Course.  

TIMO (Training in Ministry Outreach) is a hands on missionary training programme designed to equip men and women for church planting among unreached people groups, providing practical hands on training while engaging in real, transformational ministry. 

Hannah has joined a small multinational team of new missionaries serving under experienced Tanzanian team leaders and working with the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AICT). The team will learn the local language (Kiswahili) and gain a deep understanding of the culture of their host community as they build relationships and share Christ among their new neighbours and friends. 

Hannah is excited to continue learning as the team work through TIMO’s specialised curriculum. The kinds of ministry she might end up being involved with may include teaching (in high school or teaching English in the community), children’s work, Bible storying, or reading the Bible with people.

Following an outreach event, they have been encouraged to start meeting together and have built a simple structure for shade or shelter to meet under. Praise God for this boldness to meet together and pray for God’s protection over this small church; that they will be built up and firmly rooted in Christ and not shaken by opposing views or beliefs around them.
