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.

Latest Prayer News

Hannah Jackson is the Child Safety Officer for AIM and is also involved with outreach to unreached people groups in Nairobi. The centre where she teaches English one day a week marked the end of term with a bring-and-share party including lots of delicious Somali and Ethiopian dishes. They had a ‘graduation’ ceremony with speeches and the presentation of certificates to mark the end of a unit. Classes have now restarted, and Hannah goes every Wednesday. Pray for good relationships and natural opportunities to share hope. After time as Cath Swanson’s deputy, Hannah took over the role of AIM’s Child Safety Officer from 1st September. Hannah is grateful for all Cath’s help in preparing her for this role, which feels both exciting and daunting. Pray that she will continue to learn well, work well with others, make godly decisions, and that AIM would be a safe place for children.

Pray for the 2.8 million living in Muslim Unreached People Groups of the Nuba Mountains in Central Sudan. It is a remote and inaccessible area; traditionally a place of refuge for people fleeing oppression. The total population of the Nuba Mountain region is approximately 4.2 million. It is estimated that over a million Nuba are internally displaced; many have fled to neighbouring countries, others have permanently resettled in the North. The Nuba people are comprised of more than 90 different ethnic groups; of these, 60 remain Unreached and Unengaged. There has been enmity between Nuba peoples and the ruling Arab Sudanese for a long time. Reports are coming in about an outbreak of cholera in the Nuba Mountains as well as other parts of Sudan. The war in Sudan is worsening the humanitarian crisis and contributing to the spread of cholera. Pray for people suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Lord, have mercy on the people of Sudan!

Obedient and Committed. Pray that AIM’s voice would continue to be characterised by a strong commitment to sharing the gospel and serving among those who have not yet heard. Pray we would portray missions as a divine calling, underscoring reliance on Christ for our strength, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Ask that the language we use would highlight the need for obedience to God’s call and the transformative power of prayer for the work he calls us to. Pray that our work will be framed as a profound, lifelong journey rather than a simple task. Pray that as serving involves facing challenges and uncertainties, that AIM’s character would reflect a faithful endurance in pursuit of our ends.

Kathleen Quellmalz serves in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with Safina Street Network; an outreach working with vulnerable children and young people. Today marks the 30th anniversary since she set foot on Tanzanian soil for the first time. It’s also the date of Safina’s head office relocation from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, and the official installation of Adam as the new CEO and Nico as the Director of Ministry. Praise the Lord for his provision and work in and through Kathleen over these past 30 years and ask the Lord’s blessing on this time of transition.

Barry and Heather Mann work with Growing Nations, an organisation based in Maphutseng, Lesotho, which shares God’s love through a focus on agricultural knowledge and training. Please pray for the communities to which the students have returned after their training, that they will have receptive hearts and minds to the methods of Farming God’s Way and the gospel message that goes with itPlease pray too that the Lord will provide new opportunities and resources, to enable the Manns to continue serving with AIM and Growing Nations.
