The largest team that AIM has ever had!

Bob and Val (second row, far right; and first row, second from right) and I (front, far left) have been “staples” of the ministry since its beginning in 2008.

Susan (pictured in the front row, far right) has been a member of AIM’s Board of Directors since its incorporation in 2008; however, she was added to the traveling ministry team for one of the conferences in 2009, and gladly returned this year for all of the conferences.

Karen (front row, second from the left) joined us for the first time this year. Though she has been praying for us, it was time for her to come and see for herself what God is doing in East Africa.

Becky (second row, far left) is a member of AIM’s Board of Directors and has been a vital leader of our intercessory prayer team. She joined us “on the field” for the first time this year, as well.

Bayo (back row, middle) has been a faithful translator and member of our team since our initial visit to the Dareda Valley in 2007. He has accompanied us, translated written materials for us, and helped AIM as a translator and teacher during each of the conferences.

The church that hosted this month’s conference in Katesh was of the FPCT denomination (Free Pentecostal Church of Tanzania). The unfinished building was just a concrete shell. We had everything we needed. The pastor was welcoming toward his many guests from other denominations. The atmosphere was beautiful in the Holy Spirit.
