Hello! This is Kathryn Hubbard with the AIM Europe PrayerLine for Thursday 18th April 2019.
Sheona Chisholm serves at Africa Based Support (ABS) in Nairobi, Kenya. “Part of my job is co-ordinating the comings and goings of our new ABS missionaries. When I have confirmed dates for any of our new staff, I will arrange their initial few days here in Nairobi… I will arrange an airport pick up, then they are taken to (usually) our guest house here in Nairobi… If the missionary is a short termer, I will meet with them, take them to a shopping mall close to Mayfield, organise SIM cards, money, and shopping for initial supplies and have a coffee and discussion and answer any questions. I will then take them to their accommodation and to meet with their new team leader or co-workers. If they are a long term missionary they are encouraged to come at least two days before they go to Africa Based Orientation (ABO).” Please pray for Sheona’s work in welcoming ABS’ new missionaries and helping them to settle in to life in Kenya.
Marsali Campbell serves at Dwelling Places, providing healthcare for children living on the streets in Kampala and Karamoja. Since January Marsali has been in the UK on Medical Leave. “It would not be a surprise to folk to know that these past months dealing with chronic pain has been personally challenging at times, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually too… There have also been many wonderful times too, and I’m so incredibly thankful for the privilege to have access to medical care in Africa and now back in Scotland… Part of me longs to be back into ministry in Uganda, to explore new areas to develop the medical work with children, be back with my Dwelling Places family, but I need to be here in Scotland for this season, and I do not know how long that will be.” Please pray for full healing for Marsali soon.
Matt & Amy Dixon work with the Africa Inland Church Tanzania (AICT) at Sanga Sanga near Morogoro, Tanzania. They will return to the UK for two years so that Amy can train as a teacher. “As we near the end of our third term of service, this being the end of our time here working with AIM in partnership with Africa Inland Church of Tanzania (AICT), it is good to remember whose work it is that we have been doing and with whom it is that we are entrusting the work here to continue on… As we prepare to leave, believing this is the right time for our family to move onto a new chapter, it is humbling and encouraging to have been a part of the good work that the Lord is doing here... Praise God for his faithful provision for the development of the Sanga Sanga Conference and Retreat Centre, and pray for good ‘goodbyes’ and happy ‘hellos’ as we go through major transitions as a family.”
Thank you for praying with AIM Europe. Our next PrayerLine will be on Friday 26th April 2019.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” – 1 Peter 1:3
