Hello! This is Kathryn Hubbard with the AIM Europe PrayerLine for Friday 19th October 2018.

Bridget Howard teaches English to adults in conjunction with New Creation Ministries (NCM) in Kigali, and is Unit Leader for Rwanda. “We are at a guest house on Lake Mahazi, the ‘finger lake’ to the east of Kigali, a quiet place for the annual NCM staff and leadership weekend retreat. This year the matter for discussion and prayer is rather pressing as the government has recently issued new legislation regarding requirements for anyone who teaches or preaches in a church. These new requirements may have implications for our training programmes and our credentials as a training institution. Please pray for the Executive Committee as they bear the burden of implementing a strategic plan.”

Martin & Joy Koch work in Lchakwai, Kenya, seeking to reach the Samburu with the gospel and disciple believers. “Sometime later this month we hope to have the first baptism here in Lchakwai! Pray that those who will be baptized will take a strong stand for Jesus and be a witness to others. Pray that God will show them where they need to follow the teachings of Jesus rather than Samburu traditions. Two men have been attending the [baptism] classes quite regularly. We pray that at least one of them will be ready to make this step of commitment.”

Carrie Pither is serving with AIM AIR in Nairobi, Kenya. She is also AIM’s International Crisis Consultant. “My colleague Hiram and I have now completed the Security and Risk Management policy and procedure report, which we submitted to the AIM Directors in September. It was well received, and so we begin to draft our implementation plan for roll-out across the organisation. This will be our biggest piece of work to date and our priority for the next twelve months. We continue to assist in dynamic security and crisis situations. In addition, we work with other faith-based mission organisations to share knowledge and improve our crisis preparations. In the coming months I have a lot of travel, and I would welcome your prayers for these journeys.” Please pray for Carrie and Hiram’s work on implementing the new Security and Risk policy, and for safety for Carrie’s upcoming travel.

Thank you for praying with AIM Europe. Our next PrayerLine will be on Friday 26th October 2018.
