Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

The unreached Fulani people live in West Africa.  PrayAfrica.org writes: “Pray for four Fulani followers who face different challenges, especially in regard to their faith. I have started a cross-cultural training with them. Our first meeting was held at the Fulani conference in the South for 4 days. We plan to meet each month and intentionally call them each week to see how they are doing with the training. Pray for this cross-cultural ministry training program that is aimed at preparing them for the cross-cultural church ministry task ahead.” 

Today the AIM EU leadership team are engaged in a full day of meetings to discuss processes, policies and other important matters relating to the support of AIM missionaries and the running of the AIM EU office as a whole.

Pray for Church leaders across the UK as they work to guide their congregations to grow in faith in Jesus Christ and live out their faith in their daily lives. Pray for those Church leaders who are also supporting AIM missionaries to be refreshed in their passion for seeing their church members mobilised to bring the gospel to those who have never heard it. 

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE
