Rex and Ruby

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it.

In 2017 they moved to a new location, which is a popular tourist resort for locals in their country. When they moved there, they knew of no Christian believers in that area. Over recent years they have encountered some followers of Jesus but those they’ve met live isolated and difficult lives, without the encouragement of local fellowship.

To meet more people in their community, as well as a means to contribute to their society and to give them reason to stay in country, Rex & Ruby have set up an English Language centre and teach English to professionals. They also lead a team, with team members able to serve through teaching, and also through a wide range of seasonal work available in their resort town.

They are seeking through all their encounters and through the witness of their team, to share more of Christ’s love and model lives lived with hope to their friends, students, neighbours and wider community.

Latest Prayer News

In a creative access location, Beth* has the joy of reaching out to many with the love of Jesus through her growing understanding of the local language and culture. Pray for each student in her English language discussion group. Since some of Beth’s old teammates moved on, she struggles to go deeper in evangelism and discipleship with this group, as it consists solely of men, and close personal friendships between men and women are inappropriate in her location. Pray that God will provide godly, male, believers to meet and invest in these men and that Beth’s faith in the one true God will interest them and lead them to want to know more about her God.

Pray with AIM’s workers on the Indian Ocean Islands for the spread of a Cholera outbreak on the Islands to end. The largest island is most affected and has suffered several deaths. Pray for access to clean water, medical care, and sanitation. Pray that God will comfort those grieving loved ones and open doors for the gospel to bring spiritual light to those in darkness. 

Graham and Fiona* are in a creative access location they fondly refer to as ‘Wonderland’. Give thanks that their retreat with missionary colleagues and annual leave with friends went well. Some family members are due to visit them over Easter. Pray that their family’s visas will be granted in time and that together they can share the Easter message to those around them while enjoying time as a family. 

Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Give thanks that her friend Anna*; who was reading the Bible with a previous worker but who then moved to another island for many years, has returned to Ruth’s* island and is enthusiastically reading the Bible again with Ruth*. Pray that God will continue to reveal Himself to Anna* through His word and that Anna* will have her faith renewed and strengthened through her exploration of Him and spending time with other local believers.

Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. Give thanks that a man he knows has chosen to put Christ above his own desires and has chosen not to marry a woman of another religion, despite encouragement from others. Pray that his example will inspire other local believing men to put Christ first over temptations to conform to their culture. Pray also for Edward, as he pursues opportunities to share the gospel with two of his colleagues who he has newly befriended. 

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
