Daily prayers
Barry and Heather Mann
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. Barry also serves as AIM International’s Crisis Consultant. Molula was a student at Growing Nations back in 2016/17. Shortly after graduating, she became a missionary herself in Cambodia, working with trafficked children who had no hope, teaching them about God’s love for them through Farming God’s Way. She is now back in Lesotho and has set up her own demonstration farm/training centre, where she is teaching her local community, particularly the young adults, how to practice Farming God’s Way. The journey has not been easy and she has faced resistance at times, but with God’s help, she has now been accepted by the community as they see the benefits that Farming God’s Way brings. As well as teaching practical skills, Molula is investing in the lives of the young people through weekly bible studies, providing the girls with a safe space to study after school, and she has also recently started a pre-school. Please pray for her as she continues to invest in the lives of others, pour out God’s love, and bring hope into the community.
Rebecca Welsh
Rebecca Welsh teaches chemistry and broader science at Rift Valley Academy (RVA), Kenya. Many of those Rebecca was closest to last year are no longer at RVA, so ask the Lord to provide good friendships and a real sense of community for Rebecca this year. Pray too for work visas as Rebecca’s and those of some other staff members still haven’t been processed, which causes problems when travelling.
Alan and Pauline Jordan
Alan and Pauline Jordan serve with the Africa Inland Church in Nanyuki, northern Kenya. On Saturday 2nd August 2025 the first BTCP (Bible Training Course for Pastors) Graduation took place in Nanyuki, Kenya. Alan has taught this course in Nanyuki over the last two-and-a-half years, delivering over 500 hours of classroom instruction to Christian leaders from various church denominations. There were sixteen students who graduated with their certificate of completion. Also graduating were fifteen students with a certificate of completion from the teacher training course, which will enable them to teach the BTCP course to their own churches and people. They were trained by Edwin Ojodo, the BTCP coordinator in Kenya north. Pray for the graduates to put into practice all that they have learned and live fruitful and faithful lives in service of Jesus.
Ndengereko of Tanzania
Pray for the 250,000 Ndengereko of Tanzania who live between the Ruvu and Rufigi Rivers on the southern coast of Tanzania. Pray for the Ndengereko people to experience God powerfully at work in their lives, that they would not fear rejection from their community and that they would come under his lordship. Ask God to raise up bold Christian witnesses among the Ndengereko so that many would know his love for them and that he is the true Way. Pray for an AIM outreach team in the early stages of their work among the Ndengereko.
Relatable and Inviting
Pray that AIM will be relatable and inviting in all we do. Pray that the language we use would be warm and welcoming, encouraging others to join in the work, and that the way we communicate would create a sense of partnership and shared purpose. As we invite others to join in this extraordinary journey, pray we would be able to communicate clearly that AIM is made up of ordinary people, so we can convey that anyone, regardless of background or experience can engage in missions and that this would make serving or partnering with AIM accessible and invite participation.
Paul and Elizabeth Makau
Paul and Elizabeth Makau are teaching mission courses at Africa International University (AIU) in Nairobi and mobilising local church leaders to serve as missionaries among Unreached People Groups. They are about to lead a large team up to Lependera in northern Kenya, where they recently planted a church. Over 20 medical professionals from their church in Nairobi have volunteered to come with them to run a free medical clinic from 15th-16th. From the 17th local church leaders are also joining them to assess how they can plant churches in surrounding villages. At the same time, different teams will be constructing a church building for the Lependera church and drilling a bore hole for the local community. Please pray for safety, good co-ordination, protection from the evil one, and much fruit from this trip.
Claudia Middendorf
Claudia Middendorf serves the local church in Beira, Mozambique, in leadership training. She is getting ready to teach Bible Study Methods at the Bible school of her denomination this month. She hopes to keep it very practical so her students can apply what they learn to their personal lives and ministries. Pray for fruit from this.
Elle
Elle* is part of a medical ministry team on the Indian Ocean Islands. This month she is taking over as interim team leader as her colleague is on home assignment, so pray for wisdom during this time. She recently attended the wedding of a former language helper in the capital. It was a big and fancy wedding, but the bride and groom didn’t attend! Apparently they hope to have an even bigger, fancier wedding in the future, a ‘grand marriage’ that will give them special status on the islands. Some believe that this future wedding will only ‘count’ if the bride hasn’t attended events before, so she sat at home while everyone showed off their outfits and danced. This resonated when Elle* was studying David’s anointing with Stacey*, a local believer, and the wonderful truth that God looks at the heart. Stacey shared that there is a lot of emphasis within Islam and island culture to ‘look’ good, successful, rich. Pray that islanders would recognise the importance of having a heart that’s right with the Father, however we look to men. *Name changed for security reasons
Mat and Katy Linley
Mat and Katy Linley were based in Kijabe, Kenya, where Mat was the Assistant Superintendent at Rift Valley Academy and Katy was involved in Family Health Clinical Officer (FHCO) training at Kijabe Hospital. They are now on home assignment before completing their service with AIM at the end of the year. Do pray for them and their family in this big transition. Katy is hoping to get some GP work soon and is also exploring teaching opportunities. Mat has just completed his final assignment for a Masters degree in Risk, Crisis and Resilience Management. He still has to write his dissertation, but has also begun job hunting. Pray for wisdom and clear direction in that. Back in Kenya, a new cohort of FHCO students started yesterday (8 September). A*, due to join from the Nuba mountains of Sudan, is expected to be delayed due to paperwork problems, so please pray that this does not take long. Katy is hoping to return to Kijabe in December for graduation of those who finished earlier this year. *Name changed for security reasons
