Volunteers Needed!
AIM’s Retirement Center, located on the north shore of Lake Minneola, consists of 80+ retired missionaries who have faithfully served their Lord Jesus at home and abroad for a combined 2500+ years of ministry. The Center began in 1938 when God gave a Christian businessman and his wife the vision to provide housing for furloughing and retiring missionaries coming back from Africa. From those early days, the Center has grown to include 49 acres with numerous independent living units, a boarding facility, activities building, workshop and more. These facilities are a true gift from God, but at the same time require a lot of time, effort, and resources to be properly maintained.
Volunteers of all skill levels are needed in order to continue providing safe, affordable missionary housing in a vibrant Christ-centered community.
