Sandrine

Sent from Église Protestante Evangéliqe d’Istres, Istres, France

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus to North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. As part of her ministry she is involved in French and English classes, children’s clubs, helping children with their homework, and witnessing through friendships.

Sandrine is a primary school teacher by training and a student at the Geneva Bible Institute (IBG). As part of her studies at IBG she went on a six-month internship in 2021 with AIM’s Ministry to Africans in Canada (MAC) in the city of Montréal. This helped her to understand the needs of the immigrants in the city and to perceive how she could be involved in helping them and reaching them with the gifts God gave her.

Of approximately 250,000 North Africans who live in Canada, 80 percent of them live in the province of Quebec, and 70 percent of these in Montréal itself. Sandrine’s desire is to invest another 18 months to contribute to this ministry; a ministry that is full of challenges but which glorifies God. The vision of the team is to reach the North African Muslim immigrants in the city of Montréal in partnership with the local church. Their hope for this partnership is to mobilise and train local Christians to also partake in this ministry. Sandrine is planning to teach French to women and develop relationships with them. She will also reach families by launching a homework club for elementary school children. Besides this, she will help lead a new Bible study focussed on discipling new North African believers and helping them to integrate into the local church.

Latest Prayer News

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. She asked supporters to pray for 40 campers at the children’s camp … and the Lord gave them 42! She asked prayer for many children from Muslim families … and the Lord gave them 19! All of them heard the gospel through the story of the greatest promise made to Abraham and fulfilled in Jesus. Sandrine saw the Lord at work during the week, but also how real the battle is, with children who were clearly briefed at home to be resistant to Christian teaching (yet still came anyway … ). Please continue to pray for these children and their families, as the kids’ clubs are held on the first Saturday of every month this year. Pray that God would draw families to himself! And praise the Lord for Anna, who has turned to the Lord and wants to read and understand the Bible and go to church! She continues to read the Bible with Sandrine once a week. Pray that her faith may grow and take root and that she will join a church. Pray too for her two children.

Plans are well advanced for the 5th East Midlands Outreach week which will be taking place from 2nd – 10th August this year. We are recruiting for the week in partnership with Reach Across, another organization similar to Borderless, and it will be one of their members who leads the week. Pray for the Lord to assemble the right team for this work and for all the plans to come together smoothly.

Pray for the work amongst the African Diaspora in Finland. The AIM team are forming a multicultural Gospel-centered community. As a community, they regularly engage with Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and Catholics. Pray that those who came to the Easter Sunday gathering would want to know the risen Jesus. Pray for the deepening of these relationships. Thank the Lord that some come to the team asking for practical help, for example with the Finnish language, or understanding Finnish traffic laws and signs, and sometimes with deeper issues.

Diaspora

Taking the good news of Jesus to Africa’s hardest to reach people does not always mean a move to Africa. Today, millions of Africans live outside of Africa: in North America, Europe, and around the globe – the African diaspora.
