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 missionaries 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 missionaries’ service.

Hannah is the Child Safety Officer for AIM and also serves on the Nairobi Outreach Team. This term, she has agreed to take on responsibility for the English Club on alternate Fridays as well as teaching a new, weekly conversation class for the more advanced students. Last Wednesday they discussed the recent transport protests (bus and matatu operators went on strike over fuel costs and the city basically shut down). She also introduced a ‘What do Christians Believe?’ section where one of the topics was the sovereignty of God. Praise God that they responded to this way of learning and engaged in conversation. Hannah had a great time at the Education Support Week held at Rift Valley Academy school. She was able to connect with AIM children in non-crisis situations and equip families in prevention and safe practices by looking at family child safety plans and teaching a ‘how to stay safe’ lesson for children themselves. Pray for AIM families and AIM as an organisation to wisely balance risk and safety and that children would thrive knowing they are loved and cared for.
Ruth works on an Indian Ocean Island, seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Last week was the second Eid for the local people, known as the ‘feast of sacrifice’, which celebrates Abraham’s obedience in offering his son. Praise God that Ruth has already been able to have a good conversation with her neighbour Nora about how she doesn’t need to make sacrifices to the Father, as the Son is her sacrificial lamb. Ruth was also able to share verses 16 and 17 from Psalm 51, which say that God does not delight in sacrifices or burnt offerings but a repentant heart. On 2nd June, Ruth will start teaching English at the hospital and will do two lessons a week for the next three months to teach their level 1 curriculum. Please pray that this would go well. Her team leaders are due to leave in the middle of June for nearly three months so she will be on her own during this time. Ask that she may experience the presence of God with her, strengthening and equipping her for this work.
Abigail has just finished her three-month medical elective with Kijabe Hospital in Kenya. She has rotated through three different specialities: ICU, Emergency Department and Outpatient Department – all of which she has loved and have been helpful in growing her knowledge. Praise God for the encouragement it was to work with staff who were open in sharing the gospel and praying for patients. It has affirmed in her own heart the privilege and calling from God in being a doctor and how this can be used for discipleship, as well as opening her eyes to the sacrifice and trust involved in overseas mission work. Please pray for her as she has been offered the opportunity to get involved in a research project with a visiting missionary from the US. Ask that the Lord will use all that she has experienced to make her a blessing to those at home, and that she will gain clarity on where he would have her serve in the future.
Mat and Katy recently finished serving with AIM after 17 years in Madagascar and Kenya. They look back on this time with awe and wonder at what God has done in and through them, and through the various ministries they were involved in. They are so thankful for the support of faithful friends and churches. As they settle into life in the UK, praise God that he has provided work for Katy as a GP locum and doing some on-line lecturing for the University of Glasgow. Mat recently submitted his master’s dissertation – a case study looking at the influence of national culture in crisis management planning – research which he hopes may be of use to AIM and similar organisations. Please pray for them and their children, who are at school and university, that they will continue to rely on the Lord to be their refuge in all the changes and transitions they face.
Pray for the 500,000 Digo people who live in the South-East of Kenya and North-East of Tanzania. There are a few individuals who are curious about Christ or are following him secretly. Pray for protection from backlash, fear, and isolation, and for safe relationships and fellowship to form naturally. Ask the Lord to soften the hearts of elders, religious leaders, and local authorities toward Christian workers, removing suspicion, fear, and misunderstanding. Pray for efforts to reach the Digo through education, sports, skills training, and mentorship; that God will connect the teams with the right people who are searching for purpose and direction.
Pray for all in AIM as we seek to be an intercultural organisation, where members and leaders from many cultures and nations feel welcome and actively participate. Pray that we would be able to celebrate the diversity, beauty, and glorious future of the Lord’s Church. (Rev 5:9-10, Gal 3:28).
Saskia has been serving at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya since last August but has decided not to stay for another year. Over the past few months, she has had conversations with schools in various countries. After praying for God’s guidance and that He would open the right door, last Friday she heard that she has been hired as a Dutch-speaking guide at a start-up bilingual school in Eindhoven. She will co-teach a class for 3-6 year olds, with another teacher from South Africa. Praise God for this provision, and for the blessing it has been for Saskia to serve in Kenya. Please pray that, as she prepares to leave in two months, she may be attentive to the Lord’s voice and trust Him with the provision of accommodation and a new church community in Eindhoven.
One of our short-termers, ‘Z’, is currently serving in the Indian Ocean Islands. Praise God for relationships that Z has formed with the family she stayed with during her homestay when she first arrived. She still visits them weekly and there are two girls of a similar age who have shown some openness to her faith, like allowing her to pray before dinner. Please pray for them and their parents, that they would have curious hearts and that the Lord would open doors to share the gospel. Z has been struggling with her language studies and being able to retain what she has learned. Ask God to enable her to persevere and make progress so that she can be better equipped to engage in conversations with the local people.
Holly has just begun a new assignment in North Africa, working in a hospital which is owned and overseen by a branch of the national church, and surrounded by many unreached people. Praise God for the opportunities she has had to share in the staff morning devotions, and that this has contributed to her sense of belonging in the community there. The last couple of weeks have seen some significant changes, with one of the residents suddenly leaving the training programme. It has left the surgical training very tenuous, and the hospital is trying to attract others to come and help with the service. Please pray for Holly’s colleagues who are feeling uneasy about the future, and for wisdom to make the best use of time and resources.
