3-Day Mission Trips – Trips Starting in February 2010

Sleep, eat and serve alongside the destitute and downtrodden. Join us on a 3-Day Mission Trips (only $99 per person). These trips are unique in that you live with those whom you are serving, giving your group a deeper understanding of what life is like for the less-fortunate as your eyes are opened to the realities of poverty. Choose from: New Orleans, Dallas, Appalachia, Denver, Nashville or Matamoros, Mexico.

College Break

Join a team of other college-aged students on a 5-8 day adventure over your spring break. Allow a shift in your perspective and involve yourself in what God is doing. Trips to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Matamoros and New Orleans leave in March 2010.

Adult/Family Trips

Step out of your comfort zone. This is a great opportunity to serve, grow, plant spiritual fruit, and minister side-by-side with others. Learn about adult and family trips traveling to Swaziland, New Mexico and Uganda ranging from 5 to 9 days.

:: How to Help in Haiti ::

The earthquake that ravished Haiti on January 12 is news you can’t miss. AIM has had a good history in responding to natural disasters from Hurricane Katrina, to devastation in Peru, China, and more. Haiti is no different. Teams are on the field right now as many have been working around the clock to bring relief.

You can get the latest news on AIM’s efforts and updates from Haiti at haiti.adventures.org

If you would like to give financially for the work in Haiti, then you can make a tax-deductible donation at adventures.org/haiti (we ensure that your donations will be used for work in Haiti and will not go towards something else).

Please lift up our teams in prayer too. You can get more prayer details here.

Holiday in the Sun
Rebecca Florke writes:
Christmas without snow or cold? Nah….well, maybe….yes, it’s possible. It was definitely a first for me since I’ve lived in NW Iowa my whole life. Despite the exact opposite climate here in South Africa, Christmas still happened…and it ranks among some of the best holidays I’ve ever experienced. What made it so great? God. Let me explain.

107 Racers = 107 Stories
Hannah J. Vitkus writes:
107 Racers = 107 Stories
Just think–all these individuals, all for Christ and what He wants to do in our lives and the lives of everyone we reach out. We are all different and we all have different stories to tell–our lives and days are different, but yet we are united in where God wants us in our lives. Right now, it’s New Zealand and we are ready to be used for His kingdom and His glory.

From Bangla Road to Redemption Road
Jessica Johnson writes:
While riding in the front window of a double decker tour bus, chilling out with my iPod and pretending to be on a theme park ride, God gave me an idea for a video for the ministry we were doing on Bangla Road. I still feel very blessed that my team all decided that they would support and participate in the making of this video. Making this video was humbling in that it was so clear that God was directing every step. It was a day that I will never forget and I pray that you will be blessed as well.
