There was a day when missionaries packed their belongings in
coffins, set sail on steamers, and never returned. Churches and supporters back
home provided finances and expected occasional reports from the field, but
opportunities for hands-on involvement were limited.
The landscape of missions has since changed dramatically.
Global needs and opportunities are in a state of flux. Technology,
communications, and reduced travel costs now permit senders and sending
churches a far more direct involvement in missions. At the same time, God is
awakening local churches and believers to reclaim their Biblical role in world
evangelization.
Is your church eager for authentic partnership in world
evangelization? What do these words mean to you?
Our task, at Asia International Mission, is to initiate the spread of the gospel in partnership with local churches. We're convinced
that the church, indigenous ministry, and mission agency each brings a unique,
God-given design, perspective, and set of strengths to world evangelization –
resources that will only be maximized as we intentionally work together.
We are eager to team up with you. We believe God is using,
and will use His Church to disciple, encourage, support, direct, and care for
generations of Christian workers worldwide. We want to explore ways AIM can
help your local church fulfill its calling and dreams for global outreach.
So what do we mean by
"partnership"?
Partnerships work toward collaborative ends agreed upon by
all partners. Our goals are determined by our common values and vision. One
partner does not enter the partnership to achieve the other partner's agenda.
One size does not fit all. Every church is different;
therefore every AIM partnership with a local church will look different and may
change over time. We call it a "contextualized church partnership."
Partnerships are built on relationships and trust, developed
primarily by listening, conversation, and exploring possibilities.
Does your church dream of a mission partnership that goes
beyond sending and funding of a worker? So do we. You can contact us directly
