We asked Sarah Randell to write this years editorial for People & Places. Sarah has a heart for Africa, attended the AIM Autumn Conference and is in the process of enquiring about serving with AIM. She may be featuring in People & Places again before too long!
rayer is the engine room of our lives as Christians. Its a means of talking to God, drawing close to him, listening to him and discerning his will. I hope weve all felt the amazing, tangible power when a group of Christians pray together - the Holy Spirit at work. So, naturally, knowing the power of prayer, we should pray regularly for those who are serving God in his mission elds around the world, many of whom are working alone or in dicult and challenging circumstances. Please pray for protection, for courage, for discernment and for strength for all missionaries, everywhere. Encourage your Christian friends and church families to do so, too. Get alongside them and mobilise them to be prayer warriors! As Christians, were called to share the good news and to demonstrate Gods love to others in practical ways. Most of us seek to do this on a small scale in our own personal mission eld close to home. But the Bible is clear about discipleship of the unreached, which, of course, is the focus of AIM. Today, the places where there is the greatest need to send missionaries are often the most harsh or dangerous, so its important that we support and care for those who are called to serve God there nancially, emotionally and prayerfully. By giving of ourselves, we help to grow Gods kingdom. But when we recognise that everything we have is given by Gods grace, it becomes a true joy to use our skills - and our money, too - for his glory. So, my prayer is that you will, after prayerful consideration, contribute whatever you can aord and whatever you feel is appropriate to support those serving God in mission elds around the world. Please take this to prayer and give whatever God places on your heart. If you need a reminder of the importance of the work of missionaries and the impact theyre having in bringing unreached people to faith, just take a look at some of the lm clips on the AIM website www.aimint.org.eu. Thank you so much! Every blessing,
Our Prayer Diary has different topics each week, ranging from a ministry focus to an unreached people group.
Our weekly email includes up-to-date news and prayer items from mission partners.

Church planting
lanting churches ows from relationship. As TIMO teams live with unreached people groups, becoming like them in every way possible, opportunities open up to share the word of God. It can be hard for the rst few believers, who face opposition. Yet they blaze the trail for others to believe and a church is born. Believers want a place to worship, so the reality of a church being present can no longer be hidden. A gospel community comes into being, learning to worship in culturally appropriate ways, watched by a wider community, both appalled and intrigued that there is now a Christian presence in their midst.
Barakasy, the King of Nosy Mitsio (sub-King of the Antakarana people) was asked what the community fears were
the community punishes them and requires them to make some sort of sacrifice. But the ancestors see everything; so even if the Our greatest fear is violating community doesnt see, the the taboos of our ancestors. There are many different taboos ancestors will punish the one who broke the taboo. The punishment and we learn of them through spirit-possession by our ancestors. can be on any area of their life. Thats why we fear breaking the F or everyone there are taboos taboos. against things, such as eating pork or digging in the ground on T uesday. Some people have P ray for the TIMO team ancestral taboos against things, planned to work amongst the such as travelling on Sunday or Antakarana people as they seek eating a certain type of bean. to proclaim the liberating news of If a community member sees J esus Christ and plant a Christsomeone breaking a taboo, then centred church amongst them.

NDJAMNA: housands of girls across Africa are exploited and lured into prostitution, most with no concept of a God who loves them and longs to give them new life. God has called me to bring his message of love to these broken women. Im convinced that God wants to save, heal and make them his ambassadors amongst people that most of us will never reach!

saiah speaks of Gods word accomplishing that for which it was sent. It is Gods word which draws people to secretly express interest in its teaching. Later, Gods word may cause a handful of brave seekers to listen to Chronological Bible Story Telling. It is Gods word that brings those rst believers to
submission before God and to baptism. But such an open testimony can increase local opposition into something more, naming and shaming those who have changed their religion. Later, however, when the New Testament is translated and oered to every household, Gods word may be the only published book in the peoples own language.
Zalid grew up under the influence of his uncle, the village imam. He memorised the Quran and lived as a strict Muslim. However, the yearly visits from P akistani Muslim mission-workers slowly caused Zalid to question his beliefs. He began to meet regularly with a catholic priest, and later with a British mission worker, who had moved to his village. They talked together of the cost of following J esus in this
Muslim country. One night, J esus spoke to Zalid in a dream. He told him that he might face difficulties, persecution and maybe even death, but, if he were to die, he would be with him in heaven. F or the first time Zalid knew he was going to heaven. Difficulties and persecution did follow; his wife demanded a divorce and his uncle insisted he leave the family home. However, initial anger slowly died away and now Zalid is back with his wife and daughter, eager to share with others, and slowly growing in his faith.

80% of Uganda is engaged in agriculture. The healthy economy of the 1960s was crippled in 1972 by the expulsion of the Asian business community, and then virtually destroyed by tyranny and wars. It has steadily improved since 1992. Under previous government regimes there were restrictions on persecuted Christians, but there is now freedom of religion.

One of AIMs workers living in a closed country shares about an opportunity they had to share things of eternal significance
Unusual ways
MBARARA: e work at Mbarara University & Hospital. Nerina researches/ teaches in the Biochemistry Department; Derek is helping improve A&E, treating surgical emergencies and teaching students. Our AIM team focuses on transformational development changed behaviour that the gospel brings - so we help students with discipleship, Bible study, and how to be Christian professionals.
Sometimes opportunities come about in the most unusual ways. Needing a duplicate key for one of the many security gates on our home, a trip into town to the hardware store was required. However, things are never quite as expected in our adopted country. The hardware store owner, unable to help me, directed me across the street to the Islamic bookshop and said they could help. F eeling like the victim of some April F ool prank, I sheepishly asked if they cut keys? Before the assistant could answer, someone typing busily at a computer in the corner asked, Where are you from? On hearing my nationality, he decided to share a joke about an Englishman, an I rishman and a Scotsman. This casual crossing of paths has developed into a special friendship. Weekly chats over coffee have provided opportunities to share things of eternal significance and pass on a good book.

Christ-centred church is one which listens to Christ and responds obediently to his voice, as it seeks to live under his Lordship. To be Christ-centred is therefore to be word-centred. The Holy Spirit illuminates Gods people as they read his word so that they may understand what God has freely given us (1 Cor 2:12). However, he does so not by by-passing their minds but rather by working through their own mental
struggle to reach an ever richer understanding. The task of Bible and theological schools is primarily to help believers in that struggle, so that they will grow in their ability to read and apply the Scriptures, and may then faithfully minister Gods word in both church and world.
Built up
Since I started attending seminars, I have been built up, revived in my faith and taught in many areas. Sometimes I would try to instigate new programmes, but the church members did not seem to be with me. When I heard how to Inspire a shared vision, I was greatly encouraged. This led to success and now the church is moving forward together. Sometimes I would feel like Im the only one going through difficult times. Then I would meet many of my fellow evangelists who were facing the same challenges, so we could encourage and pray with each other. The teaching is very relevant to our context. Through it we have seen some very big changes in our church. I wish we could have longer seminars where we could discuss and fellowship more.

e are so thankful for the impact the gospel has had in many countries in which AIM has worked over the past 100 years. The church is often well established, but still welcomes gospel partnership with AIM to help develop and grow, by training leaders in areas ranging from Sunday School teaching to pastoral ministry to community outreach. AIM mission partners are working with national churches to enable them to be more eective in reaching their own communities and to have an enlarged vision for other people groups not yet reached.

I know He loves me
Before I went to the Ladies Bible School, I couldnt even pray because I did not know how, and felt when asked that I couldnt. Now, I can and like doing it and know that when I pray, one day I will live with J esus forever. I was in darkness, like I was in the dark. Now, I can see where I am going. I t has made a difference in my life, because I knew nothing. Now, everywhere I am, I am thinking if God helps me to learn more, I can preach the gospel to the other people. I feel happy about the word of God and courageous now to speak about it. I can now hold a pencil, too, and write and I am keeping on praying to God to learn how to read, too. I feel like I am close to God. Though I had problems before, I know he loves me.

Taking opportunities to share Scripture with contacts wherever possible. Also working to encourage French believers to engage in outreach to this community.
hristianity on the islands is often viewed with hostility and in some cases outlawed by the Islamic rulers. Political violence has left these islands desperately poor and natural resources are in short supply. Many immigrants and refugees from the islands live in Marseille. Workers here seek to introduce them to the gospel and equip them to take the good news back to their homelands.
work on the islands as part of a church planting team. As a team we aim to live distinctively, showing Gods love practically and sharing truth in a way that islanders can relate to. This involves sharing their lives, spending time in their homes and building relationships. It means dressing like them and learning their language. I also teach English to adults.
Womens Ministry
y platform ministry is working with mother-tongue language resources. Up until now this has mainly been teaching literacy and numeracy to women with little or no formal education. However, Im now also co-ordinating a strategy we are launching, to get more biblical resources into island languages in dierent media forms.
IMs ministry among African women can take many forms from providing practical help and emotional support to vulnerable women to delivering Bible teaching to pastors wives. The position of women in many African societies means they are often disadvantaged in areas such as education, but by contrast we were encouraged to discover recently that Rwanda leads the world in the proportion of women serving in the countrys Parliament. Christ-centred churches need Christ-centred women. Pray that many more might be so.

PEMBA: e work in northern Mozambique with the Mwani people. We are currently involved in discipling a handful of believers, teaching English and Bible Storying. The Mwani, as well as following Islam, are heavily inuenced by witchcraft and fear of the spirit world. Living and working among them is tough, as we seek to share the gospel in ways that are culturally sensitive and that build for the long term.
SIYABUZANA NEAR ESPUNGABERA: e work amongst the Ndau people group in Mozambique discipling church leaders. Walter works with pastors, helping them with biblical studies and giving practical support. Rosie teaches the Bible to women, some of whom cannot read or write their own names. We are also involved in the development of a new church building with a dormitory to allow further teaching.
CHIMOIO: laire works with local churches in the areas of discipleship, leadership development and envisioning for missions, to make disciples who will in turn make disciples. Using the Kairos Course as a primary tool, she is involved in mobilising the Mozambican church to full their part in the Great Commission, reaching out to unreached people groups with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mozambique
ince independence from Portugal in 1975 Mozambique was battered by civil war, economic woes and famine. Since peace in 1992 though, the country has developed one of the worlds fastest growing economies. Many are still unreached with the gospel & 17% of the country practice Islam.

BETROKA: e are part of a curriculum based team sharing the gospel with the Bara people of Madagascar. We hope to reach the Bara through Bible storying. To do this we need to work hard on our language skills so that we can properly explain the gospel to them in their heart language. We are working to build local relationships and get involved in the community.
MAPHUTSENG: e have been working with Growing Nations, a church based agricultural organisation teaching Farming Gods Way in Lesotho & across Southern Africa, since 2012.

Lesotho
Maseru Mokhotlong Maphutseng
esotho is a Kingdom totally surrounded by South Africa, whom they depend on, as their biggest employer and buyer of their main natural resource - water. Lesotho is made up of highland villages, where people live in extreme poverty and few have heard the gospel.
Community Development
Growing Nations
Ntate Peiso was trained through Growing Nations resident student programme last year, being taught how to F arm Gods Way and Transformational Development.
I t has been amazing to see how P eiso has developed personally and spiritually over the year. He is now training the current year resident students and others in his community. Ntate P eiso said, Before I was trained with Growing Nations, I farmed my fathers land, but it was hard work and I had little knowledge. We never grew enough to live on. I now have the knowledge of how to farm and I know that we will grow enough to live on this year. I am far more confident now and I love teaching others about farming and about the gospel, too. Before I was very shy and found it difficult to share the gospel with others, but now I have a new found freedom and am able to share with everyone.
n a living, holistic church there is an interactive participation between all aspects of community life and church life. A church transformed as described in Ephesians 4 will show a greater desire to move out into the community. Where the church is really living as Gods agent of change in society, transformation will happen from the inside out. Through Community Development, AIM mission partners work in partnership with local churches in a wide range of community ministries, from agriculture to work amongst street children.

Healthcare
IM works in a diverse context with respect to health factors. Healthcare is an inclusive term relating to curative, rehabilitative, palliative, preventative and healthpromotive ministries, within healthcare facilities, educational establishments and the community. The biblical understanding of health is enshrined in the Hebrew concept of Shalom. Thus ill-health goes beyond physical and mental maladies to encompass distorted and disruptive relationships. Shalom denotes much more than peace; it has a richer meaning of reconciliation with God and the presence of right relationships with each other, self and creation. Seen in the context of Gods purpose for mankind to be reconciled and transformed into Christs likeness in every dimension of being, health ministry must be at the very heart of mission.
Dr Catherine Grier asked Emile (by text - phone communication is difficult) what hed gained from the training and how it was affecting others lives. He sent the simple but powerful text: F aith and Love. Please pray for these three, as they communicate Christs compassion and live as witnesses in this isolated village. Medicines are hard to obtain; providing good quality health care is extremely difficult. Pray for Matthew and Isabel, who are from another tribe: for language learning, that the challenges would not limit their witness, but each day would open doors to speak about their faith.

frica has a growing and young population. More than 40% of the population is under 15 years old in most sub-Saharan countries, compared to 20% in the USA. Future leaders in both Church and society will come from amongst these young people. Pray that seeds of the gospel sown into their lives will not only transform them as individuals, but impact whole communities and nations. The work with children and youth ranges from outreach to street children in major cities to discipling young people in Christian-based schools.
Daniel (photoed with his wife and AIM Mission Partner, Marsali Campbell) declares his thankfulness to God for the work of Dwelling Places
When I was 12, I joined Dwelling Places. I stayed in the Boys Home and had a bed, mattress, and blanket, so I could sleep well and My Dad died when I was safely. The food was good, three. He had many wives and we had a nurse, called and 16 children. My Mum Marsali Campbell, who gave used to beat me. We stayed us medicine when we needed in a slum area and I used it. Aunty Marsali helped me to hang out with other to complete my secondary street kids; we smoked education and encouraged marijuana and inhaled fuel. me to be independent and I had never been to school, develop good life skills. She and couldnt read or write. behaved like a Mum to me, One day I met Aunty Rita. which helped me to develop a love for my Mum. She welcomed us, listened to our life stories, and, I brought my future wife to through Street Church, told meet Aunty Marsali, as she us stories about God and taught us boys to wait for His love.
the right person to marry, and to marry with vows to God in a Church with our P astor. Now I am 25, married to my beautiful J osephine; I have a good job, support my family, and am part of my local church. I am so very thankful to God for Aunty Rita, Dwelling Places staff, my role model, Aunty Marsali, and all who support Dwelling Places they all really did a good job!

Halestrap
e were encouraged and humbled by a report we received from Worthing Tabernacle of a visit by a team of men from the church to Tanzania. The church is the sending church of Tony & Cath Swanson (Page 10). Now they were sending a building team to help convert some shipping containers into accommodation units for use by people coming into Dar es Salaam from outlying areas for training, on AIM business etc. and as a rst or last lodging place for people entering or leaving the country. The church had already sent a signicant sum of money to purchase building materials and tools in readiness for the visit, but after just two days, the work had made such good progress that the budget was almost spent. John, one of the team, recounts what happened next:
And those blessings are not just to be seen in the lasting impact this construction work will have in the lives of Tanzanian pastors and their churches. As the men worked on the project, they also shared fellowship, teaching, testimony and prayer together each day. John commented: This led us so called big tough men to realise that we were called to openness and honesty with each otherI felt that this was one of the most powerful experiences of my Christian walk, seeing men deal with burdens they had carried for a lifetime. I hope and pray that many burdens were left behind in that room, possibly some still require teasing out through the friendships that were born out of this trip or maybe with the skills of our new pastor, but I believe we came back changed men.
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? Romans 10:13-15

When I was about 13 I felt called to serve the poor. When I was working with AIM in Lesotho it was natural to work out that sense of calling to see the marginalised valued. Much of that was possible because leaders in Africa and beyond were praying, supporting and recruiting personnel to help realise things on the ground. Now I am a leader the tables are turned. I have the privilege of seeing people do what I could not. Now, I have the joy of seeing others fulfil their callings and supporting them as they respond to Gods invitation to be part of his mission to reconcile the nations to himself.
