Why Go!

Words Of Jesus

 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

The burning question introduced by Acts 1:8 is this: By what criteria should any person, anywhere, be denied the right to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The Bible indicates that Jesus intends for a church to witness concerning Him throughout the entire world. It seems impossible, but Asia International Mission is working to accomplish this task in partnership with our prayer partners and supporters. 

Why Go On A Short Term Mission Trip?
 
Short term trips are of great value to the volunteers and to those to whom they are ministering. Going on a short term mission trip assists indigenous ministries evangelize the lost and plant new churches around the world. Short term mission trips help volunteers to grow spiritually. Volunteers learn to pray earnestly for missions, to give generously to missions, and to witness more effectively at home.
