Kathleen is a member of AIM’s Borderless team, working with the African diaspora in Scotland. Pray for her in her weekly interactions. On Mondays, she does Parish Nursing at a church, sitting with clients, listening to their stories, signposting to other organisations, and offering health education. She also helps in the clothes bank, where she meets many African refugees/asylum seekers and has opportunities to welcome them. On Tuesdays, she spends time with an African lady and her little boy. They meet up at the church, have coffee together and practice English. Please pray for spiritual conversations. Kathleen then looks after the little one as his mother attends the English Conversation Café. On Wednesdays, she often has coffee or goes for a walk with some ladies from the English Conversation Café who want to continue learning English. Please pray for opportunities to share scriptural truths and to show God’s love. One lady recently invited Kathleen to her home to meet her family. On Thursdays, she attends another English Conversation Café with many opportunities to meet people from “unreached” areas around the world. Fridays are for study and preparation, and on Saturdays she attends two monthly prayer meetings. Praise the Lord for the incredible opportunity the church has to create a culture of welcome and hospitality for the many refugees and displaced people in our communities, and the unique and enormous missional opportunity to build relationships, and to share God’s love and mercy with people from all nations right on our doorsteps.

Kathleen is a member of AIM’s Borderless team, working with the African diaspora in Scotland. A few weeks ago, a young African lady attended one of the English Conversation Cafes and as Kathleen chatted with her, she discovered she was from Uganda. You should have seen her face as Kathleen greeted her in “Luganda” and welcomed her to Edinburgh. She was just bursting with joy. Pray that this relationship will prove spiritually fruitful. On Mondays Kathleen meets many African refugees and immigrants as she undertakes Parish Nursing. Please pray for good relationships and gospel conversations.

Kathleen served in Uganda as Health Coordinator and Short-Term Coordinator for AIM’s Central Region. Now back in the UK, she’s a member of AIM’s Borderless team, working with the African diaspora in Scotland. Give thanks with Kathleen that one of the boys she taught in Sunday School in Uganda has continued to follow Jesus and has recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theology and wants to serve in children’s and youth ministry in his hometown. Ask God to give him opportunities to teach and disciple children and young people, just as Kathleen did for him, and that more children in Uganda will grow up hearing about and putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
