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

We value continual learning, reflection, and creativity. The Lord does not change (Mal 3:6) but does new things (Is 43:19). Pray that faithfulness to him and his calling will lead all in AIM to grow, adapt, and innovate to fit our changing ministry contexts.

Jurgen and Katja Hofmann serve in Madagascar, reaching out to the Tanala people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Malagasy Christians are being trained and mobilised to reach out in other areas of Madagascar. Jurgen hopes to be mentoring two groups who will travel to the remote village of Maroamboka. However, the poverty in Madagascar means it is very difficult for students to find financial support for training, travel and food. Pray that the Lord will provide.

Paul and Elizabeth Makau are teaching mission courses at Africa International University (AIU) Missions Department in Nairobi and mobilising local church leaders to serve as missionaries among Unreached People Groups. AIC Machakos area has 1,038 strong church congregations and they invited AIM to conduct mission awareness seminars for two days. The Makaus were part of an AIM, AIU, and AIMAir team that taught over 800 pastors. Pray that the church will be mobilised to engage in mission among Unreached People Groups. Ask the Lord to stimulate interest for further training and deployment.

Elle* is part of a medical ministry team on the Indian Ocean Islands. During Ramadan the two ‘seeker groups’ did not want to study much, but Elle had some good conversations with hospital staff. “Particularly pray for Ba Ds* (the father of my friend Dorcas*), Obed*, who learnt a lot about our beliefs when he studied abroad and is at least open to discussion, and Hushai*, who asked for a copy of the Word in French and the local language.” Please ask for fruit from these conversations. Whilst Elle can have informal chats with men at the hospital, she wouldn’t be able to study with them at home unless their female relatives were also involved, so please ask either for interest from their families, or for her to be able to link them up with local brothers.”

Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She is working on several literature projects. She hopes to either translate and/or adjust existing biblical materials, or write new booklets that would be helpful for spiritual growth and understanding in the local churches, while also being affordable. Please pray for wisdom and discernment to follow God’s will in this.
