Ruth serves as AIM Care Manager at Tumaini Counselling Centre in Nairobi. She has now completed her first two years at Tumaini, out of a nine-year journey of long-term mission. As she reflects on these years, she can see that it has truly been a journey marked by the hand of God. Over these last four months, Ruth has been in the UK enjoying time with family, friends and supporters. Some of her highlights include being able to drink water straight from the tap, the long spring and summer evenings, streetlights and cat’s eyes while driving, her mother’s home-cooked meals and Cadbury’s chocolate! As she returns to Kenya, Tumaini will be welcoming two counselling interns to the team in August/September. Please pray for Ruth and the team as they seek to support the next generation of counsellors, and that the interns will be richly blessed through their training. Ask the Lord to give wisdom and grace as Ruth steps back into leadership responsibilities and is involved in offering counselling to attendees of the Africa Based Orientation training as they prepare to serve long term.
Rift Valley Academy (RVA) is AIM’s boarding school in Kijabe, Kenya, which educates and disciples students from missionary families across Africa. A recent encouragement was shared by a member of the RVA Board. She said “I’m always moved to tears when I enter the doors of the Art Room at 6:30am and see it filled with students huddled in groups around their Bibles, discussing the Word of God and challenging each other, praying for one another, and growing in the wisdom that will carry them far beyond this campus one day. Last night was the final Sunday Night Live of the year, a worship night led by students. I found myself engulfed in a mosh pit of kids jumping and praising God as we sang with all our might.” Praise the Lord for the work that He is doing in the hearts of the students at RVA and for the Christ- centred community there. Please pray for those who are graduating this term, that He will give them courage to step into what is next, and will keep them walking closely with Him.
Pray for the 6,300 Ik people of Uganda, who are a small farming and hunting community based between the large Karamojong and Turkana pastoralist tribes. Praise God for the small local church in the community, and for the Bible translation work that has been started. Please pray that the church and translation team will strengthen and support each other well and that the small group of believers will be enabled to persevere despite the trials they face. Ask the Lord to build His church amongst the Ik.
Pray that, as we are part of the precious, redeemed, and dearly loved people of the Lord, we would increasingly seek Jesus’ presence in prayer; depending completely on Him for grace, guidance, strength, wisdom, and fruitfulness. (John 15:5)
Tim is in the process of preparing to head out to North Africa. This month he had some orientation training. Praise God that, as well as finding the sessions helpful, he got to meet many lovely people from the local church, where he was a guest, and was encouraged to see how they were all bearing fruit. Please pray for Tim as he has three weeks of training coming up in July and is still waiting on the Lord for the right time to start his assignment.
Some of our workers seek to build relationships with African diaspora as part of the Borderless team. Praise God that a woman called “Lydia”, who first came to an English classes five years ago, accepted a Bible two years ago, and has allowed her children to participate in a youth program, recently expressed interest in helping her teenage daughter, who has many spiritual questions, connect with a church community. Please pray that God would guide her to the right relationships and mentors, that her questions would lead her toward Jesus, and that both mother and daughter would grow together in their understanding of Him.
How do you plant a church among people who are always moving? Among the nomadic Rendille people of Northern Kenya, the church cannot be tied to a building. Those who want to share the good news with them must travel wherever the people go. Pray for the Lord to strengthen and encourage workers who are willing to serve in this mobile ministry. Praise God that there are churches gathering under trees to hear from God’s word, and that there are local believers to lead them. Pray for wisdom for those that seek to find ways to meet people where they are, and that many more would come to believe the good news and find their home in Christ.
In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. The French lessons that she teaches are mostly finished now, as the school year has come to an end. While there have been some encouragements, such as a Muslim mother enrolling her two sons in the Impact Kids camp for August, there has been a sharp drop in participation in the classes; this has forced them to cancel several classes. For several reasons, the Lord has shown Sandrine that it is time to leave this teaching project in the hands of the local church after three years. Please pray that God will show her where to focus her time at the start of the next school year, and provide more workers for their team.
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. Recently, a family in their community from South American country got very negative news. They weren’t given asylum and this family with a young daughter will be sent to their home country in the next 1-2 months. They have not lived there in 9 years and are quite afraid of what will happen due to the corruption and insecurity. This family has been part of Timo and Laura’s community for 1.5 years. A recent encouragement was that in small group they were looking at John 15 and what it means to abide in the Lord. The husband asked many good questions, and they were able to explain what walking with Jesus is really about. He shared then how they had not seen real followers of Jesus before becoming part of their community. Please pray for this family, that the seeds sown by Timo and Laura will bear the fruit of repentance and faith and that they may be able to entrust them into the Lord’s hands.
