Fuel God's Mission Through Prayer
Prayer is the heartbeat of every breakthrough in the lives of Africans around the world. When you pray for AIM’s Mission Partners and Africa’s unreached peoples, you’re not just offering support—you’re wielding the most powerful tool in advancing God’s kingdom.
Your prayers matter
Every church planted, every life transformed, and every breakthrough among unreached people groups begins with prayer. Your prayers are just as vital as our Mission Partners’ service.

Tim is in the process of heading out to North Africa and has just completed his preparatory training. The central theme of his latest three-week training was ‘being equipped from a basis of being rooted in God’s love’. A recurring theme in the many stories shared by those leading and attending the training was the testimony that, through the storms, God makes us grow in his image and in his love. Praise God for the opportunity Tim had to learn more about immersion in a new culture, emotional health, and the spiritual battle. As Tim now waits for clearance to leave, please pray that the Lord would provide for his needs and remind him daily of his identity in Christ.
Please pray for the 70-80,000 Lopit who live in the hills of South Sudan. Pray that the believers there will fix their eyes on Jesus as they endure opposition so they will not grow weary and lose heart! Ask also that those around them will see their lives, hear their testimonies, and be drawn also into an intimate relationship with their Heavenly Father. Pray for Lopit Bible translation projects, and for wisdom and discernment in how to best communicate God’s truth.
Pray that churches around the world would be mobilised for missions in dependence on the grace and power of the Lord, in partnership with African churches, and with priority for unreached people groups.
Timo and Laura serve in Finland among the refugee population, sharing Jesus with them and equipping Christian refugees to reach out to fellow internationals and the Finns they live among. Over the summer, they have been very aware of the spiritual battle they are in.“It is beginning to feel like the enemy is coming after us this year. We have had one crazy thing after another these last few weeks involving people within the community. It is starting to be too much too fast to feel like just coincidence anymore. So please really cover us and our community in prayer. We need it!” As church resumes this Sunday after a summer break, they will begin going through Colossians slowly and clearly so that those who don’t know Jesus yet will be able to follow along. Please pray that through the proclamation of the gospel, the church will be emboldened and comforted as they behold the glory of Christ, and that those seeking will be able to understand and engage.
David and Patricia are based in Arusha, Tanzania and are partnering with different churches and Christian organisations to see Christian radio stations set up across Tanzania. Since July, there has been a new leader of the team, called Stanley, who is helping Patricia with teaching at a local school. He has taken on a great deal of responsibility from the founders of the children’s ministry. Please pray for him, that he may continually find time to rest and draw close to Jesus, and that God will guide and direct him in all the decisions he must make each day. It’s a joy for Patricia to work alongside Tanzanians! Next week, they plan to work together on the upcoming lessons. Ask that the Spirit will give them wisdom and insight as they decide what to teach.
Claudia serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. When Claudia preached at the last church of her previous round of visits, she discovered that they had started a Bible study program for their leaders. Praise God that they recognised their need and are doing something about it. Claudia has recently started her new round of training and first responses to her Bible study sessions have been very positive. Please pray that many more churches and leaders would grow in their ability to understand and teach the Word faithfully.
Dawn works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples on the Indian Ocean Islands. Give thanks for the ways the Lord has sustained Dawn through some very difficult weeks of multiple losses and difficulties. Please pray for quality time with her family as she spends September in the UK. Ask the Lord to give her restful sleep and refresh her to continue the work on her return with renewed health and energy.
Paul and Elizabeth teach mission courses at Africa International University (AIU) in Nairobi and mobilise local church leaders to serve as missionaries among Unreached People Groups. Thank God for increased mission awareness among local churches and their involvement in mission to UPGs. A local congregation in Nairobi has now developed a 10-year plan to support the outreach going on among nomadic groups in the North of Kenya, and many more church denominations are partnering with AIM to send workers to the mission field. Paul and Elizabeth are currently involved in developing and delivering a missions course in partnership with All Nations College UK for training local missionaries, who will be sent to share the gospel among UPGs. Please pray for them as they are planning the International Mission Conference on 23rd-25th Feb 2027 at AIU on the theme of ‘Reimagining and Repositioning The Role of African Churches in Global Mission.’
Please pray for the 30-40,000 Lokwa in South Sudan. Praise the Lord there are some believers and local church gatherings. In recent years, mission partners have been seeking to make Jesus known among the Lokwa, and have visited many villages by bicycle, preaching the gospel and showing the Jesus Film. Please pray for those who continue this work, that they will have strength and resilience, and that the Lord would raise up co-labourers for this vast work to bring the gospel to the Lokwa.
