AIM exists to help churches take their place in reaching Africa\u2019s unreached.<\/p>\n
Through working with your church leadership to develop a global mission strategy, facilitating short-term mission trips, and offering longer-term partnership programs, we can assist your church to step into the Great Commission and work towards seeing lives saved for Christ.<\/p>\n
It’s more than a basic connection, and it’s not just newsletters from someone you’ve never met. It’s sending a team. It’s raising someone from your church. It’s learning about cross-cultural mission by pursuing it together.<\/p>\n
AIM brings the experience, relationships, pathways and specialist knowledge to help your church engage wisely and sustainably in cross-cultural mission across Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n Along the way, your congregation can experience on-the-ground mission work, use their professional skills to open doors for gospel ministry, grow in faith, and build meaningful connections with gospel work among unreached people groups.<\/span><\/p>\n It also shapes the church that sends.<\/p>\n The result? People across Africa hearing about the One who saves – and your church growing in its understanding and ownership of mission. <\/span>Not simply as a good idea or a line item in the budget, but as a vital part of what it means to follow Christ together.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin_phone=”|20px||10px|false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″ text_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” text_text_color_phone=”#FFFFFF”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us – <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#01636D” custom_padding=”120px||117px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_phone=”30px||30px||false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_padding_tablet=”40px||40px||false|false”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Discover a new model of mission partnership for your church” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” width=”88.9%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” custom_margin=”-19px|87px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin_phone=”-19px|0px|||false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin_tablet=”-19px|87px||||”]<\/p>\n Find out how you can partner with AIM and a small group of like-minded Aussie churches in an exciting new way.
