Ruth Mahood serves as a counsellor with AIM Care at Tumaini Counselling Centre in Nairobi. Give thanks that she has settled into her role quickly, and she enjoyed speaking at AIM’s Personnel Officers’ Forum earlier this month on the topic of supporting members dealing with trauma. Pray for safe travels and other preparations as she speaks about mental health and offers individual counselling at AIM’s Africa Based Orientation in South Africa in October 2024. Pray that Ruth will continue to build good relationships with the missionaries she supports and that she will draw on the strength of Christ as she looks to Him to lead her in her daily life and ministry.

This past week Ruth has been supporting Rift Valley Academy’s ‘Educational Support Week.’ This week supports families in AIM who are using non-traditional schooling methods and provides support, resources and fellowship for parents.
