Serve

The missionary life is a less-traveled path for a reason. It’s challenging and humbling work. But Jesus’ call remains: To join him in his mission to seek and save the lost; To step out in obedience, into the unknown, into the unexpected. This is an extraordinary call – meant for ordinary people like you.

Our vision is to see Christ-centered churches established and thriving among all of Africa’s peoples. Whether you are new to missions, or come with unique skills and experience, there’s a place for you.

Training and Mentoring Programs

AIM trains and mentors both full term and short-term workers for cross-cultural ministry through immersive on-field programs.

Inbound

Inbound is a one-year on-boarding program designed to help new missionaries land well and become equipped to faithfully serve in long-term ministry. Inbound is often the first step to serving on a church planting team.

Inbound Teams

Church Planting Teams

Church planting is at the heart of what we do. Through long-term, immersive teams we live among those we seek to reach – learning language and culture, building relationships, and sharing Christ. Teams can be found in every context: Remote villages. Urban centers. Even in places that restrict gospel workers. Use your gifts or skills as you engage in outreach among an unreached people group and raise up Christ-centered churches. Join an existing team or begin a new work together.

Role-Specific Ministries

Teachers, Administrators, Theological Educators, Healthcare workers, Engineers and Technicians, Agriculturalists, Aviators, Media and IT Specialists, Dorm Parents, Business Professionals, ESL Teachers, and more… Serve through a variety of support roles to other ministries, through training and equipping African churches, or through discipleship in the context of a vocation. Explore some of our open opportunities or contact us to learn how your experience can fill a need and open doors to reaching the unreached.

Next Steps to Serve

“Cross-cultural relationships are hard work but very rewarding. It’s an amazing, life-affirming experience to grow with friends from different cultures, helping one another know God’s grace in each other’s lives; And its something that you can’t really know – at least not in the same way or to the same degree – if you don’t build those relationships across cultures.”
