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.

Give thanks for the activities, interactions and gospel conversations which have taken place at the AIM Borderless’ Community Outreach Week that concludes today. AIM workers and volunteers have been supporting a Midlands city centre church to reach out to the diverse community on their doorstep, including many people from a North African background. Pray for a good ending to the week for everyone involved. Pray that each person who attended the activities and classes hosted over the past week will continue to be moved by the love shown to them by Christians and that this will soften their hearts to consider exploring more about Jesus. Pray that God will bless each friendship made and that the team will be given the capacity and opportunity to follow up on conversations and interactions, long after this week concludes. 

 In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada.

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. Pray that God will give Sandrine perseverance in her women’s small group, as two devout women of another religion have shown a lot of opposition to the gospel. Pray God will give these women soft hearts and they will meditate on what they hear and find peace enough to listen well and ask questions. Pray also for two students who have begun reading Mark’s gospel with Sandrine and a friend from her church. Pray that God will open their eyes to the reality of Jesus’ divinity and their need of Him as their Saviour. 

Pray for our Borderless workers, working among African diaspora communities across the UK. Pray for the women’s literacy and sewing classes occurring in a UK city in the weeks leading up to Easter. Pray for the teachers and students as they explore the reason for Easter. Pray that these students will continue to attend these classes and find fellowship and gospel discussion, despite Ramadan being a time when attendance tends to decline.

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. LEARN MORE
