Aim International’s members work in a number of countries where, for the sake of national Christians, other expatriate Christian workers and their own safety, it would not be wise to publicise their presence.
However, this does not mean that workers in these countries do not need our prayers. So how can we pray when specific information is hard to come by? Here are three areas that may help.
It is essential that workers learn the language of the people and become acquainted with their culture, so that culturally-sensitive means of sharing the gospel can be developed. Pray that workers may learn quickly.
While relationships are a vital factor in spreading the gospel worldwide, this is even more important in countries where public means of preaching are out of the question. Pray that good relationships would be developed between workers and seekers.
In many of these countries, the persecution of Christians is simply an accepted element of state or religious law and workers literally place their lives on the line for the sake of the gospel. Pray that God would keep them safe.
