AIM

Adventures in Missions is based out of Lubbock, Texas at the Sunset International Bible Institute. Most people in AIM are in their early twenties and have a desire to do something longer than a short term mission trip. They may not want to go into full time missions, yet. They spend 8 months in a classroom and then 18 months on a mission field. Missionaries apply to get an AIM team. We applied for an AIM team and made our presentation in September. We were the first to make the presentation. Twenty three other missionaries made presentations and only about half of those will end up with a team. The directors of the AIM program were here with us from Thursday through Sunday. They came to assess the ministry here. We showed them our work. I don't know what they learned from us but we learned immensely from them. We found they were two Godly men who both went through the AIM program, both have spent time on foreign mission fields. They are interested in placing the right people in the right mission field. They are interested in maintaining the integrity of their program. We saw two men earnestly seeking God's will in everything they do. We had fun and laughed together and prayed together. And when they left Sunday, we felt as if we had two new friends.

We won't know for four or five weeks if we get an AIM team. Whether or not we get an AIM team to work with us, I pray I follow the example set by Chris and Pat and earnestly seek God's will in all that I do and give Him the glory in all things.
