Today marks AIM’s Personnel Director, Peter Root’s final day at AIM before he retires. He hands over his position to Deputy Personnel Director, Debbie McEvoy. Pray for God’s peace to be with Peter as he works at his AIM desk for one final time. Pray for Debbie as she takes on the Personnel Director role, that God will give her the time and capacity to continue learning her role and that God will continue to work His will in Peter’s life and in the work of AIM.  

Today the AIM Europe staff are marking Peter Root’s retirement; Peter is the current Personnel Director. Peter served as an AIM missionary before joining the staff team and will celebrate 35 years of service upon his retirement at the end of July 2024. Pray that today’s celebrations will be a joyful time of reflection and fellowship. Give thanks for all the Lord has done in and through Peter in that time and pray for God to bless him and his wife Darryl as they transition into this new stage of Peter’s life.  

Pray for Dirk and Loes from AIM Netherlands, as they grieve the passing of Loes’ sister in March. Give thanks that Loes knows her sister knew Jesus and that this is a great comfort to her. Pray that God will give Dirk the capacity to relieve his brother-in-law from his many administrative tasks at this difficult time and will rely on the Lord’s strength to continue in his role as Finance Officer for AIM Netherlands while supporting Loes and the family. 

The EU Office Finance Team has a busy workload as annual deadlines draw nearer. Pray for each member of the team as they work hard to prepare all the statistics and reports they need to meet each deadline and support the financial responsibilities of AIM and manage the financial support of each of our missionaries. 

Please pray for our next ‘Into Africa’ online Event on March 9th. The event is for anyone feeling called to serve Christ in Africa and would like to know more about how AIM can support them in following that call. We’ll be sharing lots of interviews and stories, as well as offering opportunities for people to interact with missionaries. There will be the chance to hear from people in Africa, ask questions, and understand more of the realities of life on the mission field. Pray that God will draw those exploring their calling to book onto this event and that the Lord will bless all aspects of the planning, executing, and following up from this event. Interested?
