What are you doing in January? Some people will be kicking off the new year with all sorts of resolutions from going back to church on Sunday mornings to rigorous exercise regiments. Others will be starting another semester of college. And still others will continue on with their everyday, ordinary lives. Thankfully, we don’t make any of that an option. This January, we’re inviting you to do something different. If you’re a college student between 18 and 22 years old, join us on an 11-week mission trip with the Real Life...

Last month, during our 20th Year Anniversary Celebration at Adventures In Missions, we passed out cards and asked everyone to jot down some memorable AIM moments and ways in which the ministry touched them. Here are some of the prayers, memories, and encourages that were shared: While out on the World Race, Gary Black described Seth by saying, “He’ll lay down in the mud so you can step on his back and go higher.” I didn’t know Seth well then and didn’t understand what that meant. Having come on staff, I now know. I’ve come to know Seth...

How Do You Describe A High School Mission Trip?

How Do You Describe An AIM High School Mission Trip? When someone asks us how to describe our mission trips for high school students we often just point them to the stories being told. They tell so much more than clever words can say.

This year at AIM, we celebrate our 20th anniversary. What an amazing couple of decades it’s been! I don’t think any of us could have guessed where we’d be now having started in our garage in Florida. Along the way, we’ve learned so much about listening to the Lord and about responding to him in obedience. We’ve taken more than 80,000 people on short-term trips. And many of those have gone with us on a longer journey, a journey of discovering God’s kingdom together in the dark and dirty corners of the world. Through them, we’ve...

As an AIM staffer, I’ve learned from hearing others’ experiences that a mission trip is the perfect opportunity for God to turn your world upside down. As a project leader, I have even had the “privilege” of experiencing the feeling myself. On...
