Team Placements

Mission outreach and church planting is tough, so to have a group of fellow teammates standing with you in the ups and downs of cross-culture life is huge. Teams bring together men and women with different gifts and abilities, foster interdependence and bring collaboration to the work at hand.

Specific Individual Placements

Individual assignments vary widely, but all contribute to AIM’s mission of Christ-centred churches among all African peoples.

Outreach, Discipleship, and Church Development

We have outreach opportunities in both remote rural regions and dense urban centres. We need people who are passionate about developing relationships and eager to share Jesus, to go to those who have never heard.

Church development work can mean being involved in fledgling churches, supporting new church leaders as they seek to be godly role models, or helping to develop discipleship methods. It can also mean providing theological education, or hosting seminars where church leaders can learn from each other within the ever changing context of many parts of Africa.

Some of the current Church Planting and Outreach Opportunities…

• Long Term – Marsabit Team – Kenya
• Long Term – Western Chad
• Long Term – South Sudan (currently closed)
• Long Term – Outreach Workers – Madagascar

Theology Education and Discipleship

There is a great need to equip African church leaders, preachers and evangelists so that they can serve their churches well and be a part of reaching the unreached through Biblical teaching and Christlike discipleship. AIM puts a high priority on providing and supporting theological education through Bible colleges and seminaries and through lay leadership programs like Theological Education by Extension (TEE). Discipleship opportunities exist in all of AIM’s ministries and are central to our leadership training ministries.

Some of the current opportunities in theological education and discipleship:

• Long Term – Theological Trainer – DRC
• Long Term – IT Trainer for Bible Schools – DRC
• Long Term – Marsabit Team – Kenya
• Long Term – Theological Education Teacher, Beira – Mozambique

Teaching in National schools or Missionary Kids Schooling

Africa needs teachers desperately within their national schools; and AIM need teachers to come and home-school their missionary’s children. With as little as one year of college or university under your belt, you can help meet this incredible need. At the same time, you can be a light for Jesus Christ in word and deed to those who represent the future of Africa. If you have a gift for teaching others and a heart for young people, AIM has many opportunities that will enable you to exercise those gifts while investing in the lives of others – and in the future of a continent.

Some of the many current teaching opportunities:

• Long Term – Teacher/Trainer CE – Chad
• Long Term – High School Teachers – Rift Valley Academy, Kenya
• Long Term – Elementary Teacher – Chad

Healthcare Ministry

Africa Inland Mission’s medical ministries take on many forms, from mobile clinics providing basic medical care in isolated communities to work in large hospitals providing complex surgeries, longer-term care, education, and prevention. In addition to meeting incredible physical needs, AIM’s medical ministries play a central role in opening doors for other ministries, being a Christian witness to unreached people groups and in developing Christ-centred churches in Africa.

Some of the current Health Care opportunities…

• Long Term – Psychiatrist – Kenya
• Long Term – Mental Health Professionals – Kenya 
• Long Term – Marsabit Team – Kenya
• Long Term – Psychiatrist AIM Care – Uganda

Children and Youth Ministry

47% of Africans are under the age of 18, which means it’s hard to do ministry in Africa without affecting young people. There are so many ways to minister to children & youth in Africa, from working amongst street children, to running a kids club to Sunday school lessons! Our desire in all of these activities is to share Jesus, make him known and encourage children in their own walk with him.

A couple of the current Children and Youth Ministry opportunities…

• Long Term – Marsabit Team – Kenya
• Long Term – Ministry Team Member Children’s Worker – Kenya

Creative Access

Business as Mission. In many countries across Africa, Africa Inland Mission are looking for ‘creative’ ways to ‘Access’ countries where being a traditional Missionary is not welcome. To do this AIM are looking for people with valuable skills and professions, as a mean to connect, evangelise and make disciples of unreached people groups. Whatever you do for your ‘job’ at home, with a bit of modification you could probably do it in a creative access area.

Do you have a heart to serve in a creative access nation? Do you have professional skills and experiences you could use to connect with locals and share with them the Good News of Jesus Christ?

Some of the Creative Access opportunities…

• Long Term – Opportunities for professionals
• Long Term – English Teacher and Administrator
• Long Term – Medical Professionals

Diaspora Ministry

Africa at our doorstep. Reaching Africa’s hardest-to-reach people groups does not always mean a move to Africa. Today, millions of Africans live outside of Africa, in North America, Europe, Australasia and around the globe – the African diaspora. AIM’s Diaspora Outreach Teams serve in strategic communities where significant populations of ethnic Africans live, sharing the hope of Christ in word and deed. Because many of these Africans come from countries that are closed to the gospel, diaspora ministry provides an open door to serve among some of Africa’s remaining unreached peoples.

Some of the current Diaspora opportunities…

• Europe
• US

African diaspora ministry hasn’t yet been fully developed in Australia or New Zealand, but if you would like to explore the possibility of being involved in this ministry, fill out an Inquiry. 

Community Development

Many African communities lack basic necessities like clean drinking water, a good supply of firewood, or nourishing vegetables from a healthy garden. If you have skills in Community Development or Agriculture, AIM has opportunities for you to make a difference in Jesus’ name. Community Development provides the opportunity to take the gospel to unreached people groups and establish Christ-centred churches among all African people. Our heart is to see people’s whole lives redeemed by the love of Christ, and communities changed as people understand their value in God’s eyes.

Some of our current long term community development opportunities…

• Long Term – Construction and Logistical Support – South Sudan
• Long Term – Ndevelwa Farm Team Member – Tanzania 
• Long Term – Builder, Marsabit – Kenya

Support Ministries and Pastoral Care

Missions requires a team effort, and many of AIM’s personnel play a vital role in our overall ministry through the support services they provide. Some are pilots, flying supplies into remote airstrips. Others make sure our computers and communication systems stay up and running. AIM needs Pilots, IT Specialists, Counsellors, Administrators, Media Producers and much more to enable us to work towards the goal of Christ-centred church among all African people. 

Some of our current Supportive and Pastoral opportunities include: Clinical Psychologist, Marriage & Family Therapist, Missionary Storyteller and Avionics Specialist.
