Real Life Mission Trips: Summer and Fall 2009

Looking for a short-term mission trip to challenge and encourage your faith as you experience Christ in new and unique ways? AIM’s Real Life program is a 1-3 month mission program designed to give participants a “real life” look at life as a missionary. On a team of 8-15 other young missionaries, you will live and work totally immersed in a new culture, passionately serving God as you minister in real and practical ways.

God wants to use ordinary people like us to do extraordinary things for the kingdom; with the Real Life program, you will begin to get a sense of what that means. Click here to apply now!

Real Life Expedition: 3 countries in 2 months.
