The Goal of Missions



One of the most overwhelming tasks placed on the shoulders of human beings is the taking of the gospel worldwide. It’s incredible to see how a few ordinary people, who have been with Jesus, take what they have experienced and share it with those who need to hear it.

Some people not only don’t care about the gospel, but often try to stop those who carry the Good News. And if hardened hearts darkened by sin is not enough of a barrier to understanding the gospel, add to that an almost infinite mixture of perspectives, attitudes, behaviors, and languages. This is the task God’s Son has left in the hands of His followers. What an awesome calling!

In Hebrews 12, believers are encouraged to run the race like those who have gone before. By faith, many have seen the power of God penetrate cultural barriers, enlighten hearts lost in darkness, and transform lives that are slaves to sin.

And this brings us to one of the basic reasons for the existence of Asia International Mission. To carry the gospel cross-culturally seems to be an overwhelming responsibility, yet AIM is there to encourage and enable local ministries called to this task to see in practical terms that Christ does have authority in heaven and earth, and His presence will continue until His task is done.

Asking everyone to remember in prayer one of our newest ministry partners in Kolkata, India, Paresh and Arnika Haldar, as they welcome the newest family member into their lives, Joel Haldar.  

Please pray that God would bless this young man with health and strength, and pray for Paresh and Arnika as they seek to raise him in fear and understanding of the Lord.
If anyone would like to help with baby clothes, blankets, or with the ministry of Paresh and Arnika just send a check to:
