2/13

Welcome to our Pray for Africa guide for 2013. Formany years our faithful supporters and friends havebeen praying for our missionaries and the ministries

of AIM International. Thank you!

Our sincere prayer is that we will raise a younger and newgeneration of prayer intercessors. These Christ Followers willalso pray for those who engage in ministry in Africa and have a

passion for gospel outreach among its many unreached peoples.

We have identied other ministries and departments of AIMInternational for intentional prayer. We hope this is helpfulin giving you the big picture of AIMs involvement in Africaand the Indian Ocean Islands. This edition of the prayer guidecontains information on our Receiving Regions and prolesof a few unreached people groups. We trust the Lord thatengagement in ministry outreach among these and other leastreached peoples and under-discipled peoples will reap a harvestfor His Kingdom.

Please pray with us for Christ-Centred Churches to beestablished and encouraged among all African Peoples! Prayalso for our missionaries and our partner churches in Africaas they work together in achieving this goal. In addition to ourprayer guide, we also publish monthly Prayer Prompts withpraise and prayer items from our missionaries. This is availableon request from the AIM ofce.

Birthday: 10 April

Working in Creative Access Nations (CANs) is a vital aspect of what we do in

AIM. These are nations where traditional missionary work is impossible. Because

of the sensitive nature surrounding this work, we do not mention the names or

locations of workers in these areas, but they still need your prayer support.

We have a number of our personnel who have taken a step of faith toward

becoming residential in NA#3. These people already have language, a good

identity and up to 10 years experience in CAN. We ask prayer for good

relationships with the right local people, the new government, the right locationand developing the right business plan.

They separate themselves

approximately into the north (Boina)

and south (Menabe) with Betsiboka

River being in the middle. The

Sakalava belief system seems to be

centred around the kings of old and a

traditional ceremony involves drinking

alcohol and then sitting in a small hut

and waiting for the king to come and

possess one of the people in the

room from the kings of old.

There are very few churches in the

Sakalava areas of Madagascar and the

ones that are in this region are not

often attended by Sakalava people

but by people of other tribes. Pray

ABO presently takes place in Kenya during January/February, July/August and

AIM has three stages of orientation. The rst begins in the home country, the

second stage African Based Orientation (ABO) is held in Kenya for three weeks.

The nal stage is in the country of service and spans an initial year or two, as

people learn language, and adapt to their new culture and start working.

ABO continues to prepare missionaries for cross cultural ministry to better

understand and empathize with the people of Africa. It is a great blessing to seehow God continues to call and equip new people to come into service with AIM

in Africa. We believe that ABO makes our people more effective more quickly, by

grasping the principles taught and applying them when they arrive on assignment.

HIV/AIDS

Carla Arensen

Language Acquisition Consultant

If your goal is to learn a language, youll probably fail. Thats what the language acquisition

experts say. And yet, in AIM we encourage all members to learn a local language up to

at least a basic conversation level, even if their ministry is in a language such as English,

French or Portuguese. But if we also believe that the goal shouldnt be to learn language,

then we have to ask what is the goal?

As disciple-makers, we encourage our members to keep as their prior ity, to know and

love people. And in order to know and love people amongst whom our members

have come to live and work, we encourage them to honour and respect them by

learning their language. This involves putting themselves in a posture of a learner, notsomeone with all of the answers.

There are indications that new infection rates among youth in many African countries

The much wider use of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) has resulted in signicant drop in
