20 Years of Ministry and Missions: From Our Founder

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...

That Weird Feeling After a Mission Trip Is Normal

You know that weird feeling you sometimes have after a mission trip? Like, your “normal” is no longer normal? Well, that’s — for lack of a better word — normal.

As a mission leader, I have even had the “privilege” of experiencing the feeling myself. On...

Real Life Training Camp

Our friend and colleague, Matt Snyder, spent last week at AIM headquarters for the Real Life training camp.  Here is his account of that experience:   This past week 43 God-thirsty, college-aged students gathered together in Gainesville, Georgia to prepare themselves to go overseas.  Some have never even been on a mission trip, let alone another country, and here they were getting ready to set out for Nicaragua, Swaziland, Kenya, or India.  One thing was unanimous though: their hearts were determined to make an impact on the world no matter where they went. I was...
