Tim and Heather

Sent from Christ Church Liverpool

Tim is serving as Director for the AIM Asia Pacific Mobilising Region leading a small team in Australia and coordinating teams in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Alongside supporting the 35 or so long-term missionaries sent from the region, there is an increasing vision to engage more widely and deeply with churches across the Asia Pacific area to enable them to play a fuller part in reaching the unreached peoples of Africa and to send more gospel workers to the African harvest fields.  This has been the focus of Tim’s work over the last few years, and his passion to see churches more effectively involved in taking the gospel to unreached people groups.

Heather, who is a nurse, will be looking for work in the Gosford area. Although she is an Australian her family will still be a 3.5-hour flight away, so she’ll not be ‘going home’.  It does mean that Tim has a route to obtain a visa, application process permitting!

Tim and Heather are currently raising support and are looking for people who would like to partner with them in their ministry through both prayer and financial giving. 

Could you support Tim and Heather in this work?

They look forward to opening their home and creating a place of peace and blessing for many. Please pray that they would keep this in mind always and never lose focus on it!

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. Praise the Lord for the 80 people they welcomed to the Children’s Club family Christmas Party. All clearly heard the gospel and more than half were of Muslim origin. Three families came to the Christmas party and meal organized by the church. Pray the Lord will draw these dear ones to himself in the coming year.

Mix and Katie Miner serve at Rift Valley Academy (RVA). RVA is AIM’s boarding school which supports missionaries across Africa. They are very grateful for their supporters’ financial partnership allowing them to stay focused on their work. Sadly, some of their colleagues have had to suddenly leave the school and return to their sending region mid-school year to raise funds, which causes disruption and difficulty.

Pray for AIM staff seeking to know how to help in the aftermath of the cyclone in Mayotte. Pray that money raised through the disaster appeal would be used wisely in demonstrating the compassion of Jesus to the affected population, particularly in the areas where missionaries and partners are working.
