Hello! This is Kathryn Hubbard with the AIM Europe PrayerLine for Friday 10th August 2018.

Karin Mende is coming to the end of her Home Assignment and will return to Madagascar at the end of the month to resume her teaching of Transformational Development and encouraging church planting. She writes “Living in this fast developing digital world, I noticed, we have become more or less dependent on this system. I will not say much about this. But what I discovered for myself is I have certain insecurities or fears, because I do not understand or cannot follow some procedures any longer. Planning for the future, managing your day-to-day money, however, are important skills. In a relatively short time I have to learn a huge amount of new things. Often I have to ask for help which is not always easy. Wonderfully enough, God has promised help and wisdom where I don’t have enough. Thinking about my future I am convinced that my long years of experience in different cultures may come useful in our multi-cultural Germany. In this regard God will surely reveal His plans to me. I trust him that He wastes nothing…I am asking special wisdom for my probably last term on the big island. What are God’s priorities? To whom can I hand over my work? Please pray!”

Marsali Campbell has recently returned to ministry in Uganda with Dwelling Places (DP), a rehabilitation project for street children. She writes “DP has a growing component in Karamoja, in the NE of Uganda, especially in Napak District where we estimate approx. 80% of children on the streets are originating from, some alone, some with family members, some are trafficked for exploitation. DP has been pioneering in the area of prevention of migration to the streets, and focused on an extremely under-developed area called Lomaratoit where we now support their Primary School, and working with the local community, Elders, Leaders and Gov. officials for the area. The advocacy component is a great encouragement, and led by our wonderful Social Worker Opus Stanley – I know he would greatly value prayer for this important area of ministry, in amongst very challenging situations and needs.”

Bridget Howard serves in Rwanda, teaching English to theological students and other adults. She writes “The news of the moment is that I have decided on my return date to the UK. With the changes of personnel at New Creation Ministries and the re-evaluation of some of the courses, it has been decided to offer the Academic Writing and Research module as the first module for the new 2019 intake and I was asked to teach that course. After talking with various trusted advisors, I have agreed to do so since I seem well-placed to use my experience and knowledge of the student’s needs and problems. It will be an 8-week module from January to early March. So it looks as if I’ll be back in the UK while we are still in Europe before we Brexit! Please pray for me as I complete preparation and teaching of that course and for the three remaining PTS study blocks. I’m still undecided as to how to use my time and if it will be possible to offer adult English courses during the remaining months. Please pray also that we will be able to find a replacement teacher of English.”

Thank you for praying with AIM Europe. Our next PrayerLine will be on Friday 17th August 2018.
