Tim and Heather

Sent from Christ Church Liverpool

Tim 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?

Latest Prayer News

Mark and Hannah serve in Chad, sharing the gospel with the Acacia* people who haven’t had the chance to hear about Jesus. Give thanks that they have arrived safely back in Chad after their Home Assignment in the UK and the arrival of their baby boy, Isaac. Pray for them as they adjust into Chadian life as a three and pray particularly for baby Isaac, that he will adjust to the hot climate and new environment well. Pray for God to bless this family as they get stuck back into sharing the gospel with those who have never heard it before. 

Graham and Fiona* are in a creative access location they fondly refer to as ‘Wonderland’. Give thanks for the moving farewell party their friends and colleges in Wonderland threw for them last month. Friends returned from their overseas trips early and others travelled many miles to attend and wish them well. Pray that God will use these friendships and conversations over the years for His kingdom purposes. Pray that the gospel witness of Graham and Fiona to these close friends will continue to sow seeds in the hearts of those they leave behind as they return to the UK for their final home assignment before retirement.

Claudia Middendorf on home assignment in Germany and is normally based in Beira, Mozambique, and serves the local church in leadership training. Pray for her as she is travelling extensively, visiting many churches and groups interested in hearing about what God is doing through His people in Mozambique. Please pray for safe travel, stamina and God’s guidance for Claudia. Pray that His word will penetrate the hearts of each person hearing Claudia’s stories.

Pray for the Suri people of South Sudan and Ethiopia; in June 2024 the AIM team’s IT equipment, their controller and inverter, were damaged and burned by a lightning strike. Please pray that it can be repaired or replaced quickly as this equipment is important to the team’s translation work. 

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 she has returned safely from her home assignment, despite some travel complications. Give thanks that she found peace in God through these and that the Holy Spirit has been showing her how setbacks keep her reliant on Him. Give thanks that she has been able to enjoy time on holiday with her sister in Kenya and that the protests in Kenya didn’t prevent them from enjoying time together. Pray for Ruth as she supports the children’s programme at AIM’s Africa Based Orientation later this month.
