Timothy Alford went home to glory on 6 December 2018.
I first met Timothy when I was a young pastor in the early 1990s and he was the General Secretary of Africa Inland Mission (AIM). Little was I to know then how much of an influence he would have upon me and the work I am now doing at Pastor Training International (PTI).
In the sermon he gave, he spoke from the servant song in Isaiah 42 and how amongst the inheritance the Lord would receive would be the islands. We then learnt of how AIM was seeking to plant churches on a small set of islands off the coast of Africa, not knowing that soon our church would be praying for those peoples and that I too would be visiting those self-same islands to meet some of the first converts.
