7 Reasons why our mission trips are unique
-
Customization: You can choose the location and duration of your trip. If you don’t see what you’re looking for on our trip list, contact us, and we’ll help you customize your own unique mission trip experience.
- Listening Prayer: Everything we do at AIM begins with asking God; throughout your trip you’ll be led by this prayer-dialogue that we call listening prayer.
- Commitment: We’re in it for the long-haul with local ministries in the field and with our participants. This means that we’re not only committed to long-term work all over the world, but also to the growth of the individuals on the mission trip. This is one of our core passions as a ministry: using short-term missions as a discipleship vehicle.
- Quality Leadership: We provide passionate, mature followers of Christ who understand how to be led by God in responsible ways.
- Flexibility: Though we create a schedule and
plan the ins and outs of your trip, we give God permission to set aside
our agendas and show us what he’s up to. In other words, we’re open to his surprises.
- Relational Focus: Similar to Jesus’ ministry,
we focus more on people than tasks. This, of course, includes those
within your group, as well as those whom you will serve while on the mission trip.
- Smaller Groups: We welcome smaller-sized
groups, because so much of the relational work we do hinges on the
importance of cultivating trust and intimacy in ministry. This doesn’t mean that we won’t work with larger groups, but it does mean that you won’t be stuck in a camp setting with several other groups.
