Kay

Sent from Hebron Evangelical Church, Aberdeen

Kay leads a medical team in the Indian Ocean Islands.

Kay has had an interest in mission work since childhood. After graduating from university and working for a couple of years as a nurse, she became part of a Training In Ministry Outreach (TIMO) team working in the Indian Ocean Islands in 2011. After the TIMO team finished, she returned to the Islands and worked as a nurse in a small government-run clinic.

During her time on the Islands, Kay learned and experienced how a team can become family through the ups and downs of team life. She learned how to share what she believes in ways that can be understood in the local worldview; and, most importantly, she has learned and seen the power of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit in changing lives, and that is what she desperately desires for these island people.

She now feels God asking her to take what he has taught her and multiply it by mentoring and leading others to join the work, but also to move to a new area where there is currently little or no witness. So is ​looking to start a new team of healthcare workers to bring God’s invitation and message of healing and salvation to those they will serve. 

Could you partner with Kay in this work?

“…things continue to heat up politically with tensions bubbling under the surface… We have heard multiple rumours that there could be unrest towards the end of the month and into the new year. Please pray against any violence and for continued peace and stability for these wee islands, which have had such a turbulent history. Pray for true and lasting peace that comes from Islands that are not only reconciled with each other in terms of politics and public affairs, but with the Prince of Peace.”

“With the opening of schools, we are preparing to open English classes and I have been busy lesson planning. I haven’t taught since 2013 and hope to have 2-3 lower level classes which should start at the beginning of September. Please pray for preparations for these. Ownership of these classes is on each group or association, and we work alongside coordinators who are responsible for contacting students, organising books, premises, times etc. Please pray for a smooth start and for smooth speech.”

Indian Ocean Islands

We write about the ‘Indian Ocean Islands’ rather than naming individual Islands because Christianity on ‘the Islands’ is often viewed with hostility and in some cases outlawed by the Islamic rulers. Political violence has left these islands desperately poor and natural resources are in short supply.

Healthcare

We long to see Health Professionals practising, modelling and mentoring competent, compassionate medicine, but doing so in places where they will influence unreached people groups for Christ. LEARN MORE
