Adventures In Missions sends out hundreds of short-term mission trips each year around the world. We need people who are ready to lead and serve as Mission Leaders for these trips. A Mission Leader serves as the point person on a trip, directing both the spiritual and the logistical aspects of the trip.   Seth led two trips this past summer: “The past week and a half I have been leading a group in ministry to the Shoshone Indians in Wind River, Wyoming.  The group was incredible. They came to grow, to learn and to serve. I took just about everything day-to-day, experienced...

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...
