AIM Canada

If your heartbeat is to see the Gospel reach the far reaches of this earth, then take a few minutes to learn about TIMO. It’s a program specifically designed to do just that.

Learn and Minister as Part of a Team

TIMO places a team of new missionaries under the leadership of an experienced missionary or missionary couple. Together, they live as learners among an unreached or partially unreached people group with a goal of sharing Christ.

As a team member you’ll learn a new language and new ways to teach Christ's love in word and deed. You’ll learn to pray and intercede. And every day, you’ll practice what you learn; mission theory will become concrete  as you live and interact with your host people group.

Oh, and did we mention...homework? TIMO has required readings and papers to write-- all part of building a solid foundation for a lifetime of ministry.

People Groups - Your Host Culture

AIM wants you to fall in love with people. As a TIMO member you’ll move in with a radically different people group. They’ll eat strange things. And (gulp) you will too. They’ll speak a language you’ve probably never  heard of, you’ll struggle through basic conversations, and you’ll laugh together at your blunders. You’ll learn from them, and they’ll learn from you.

After a while, they won’t be a people group any more. They’ll be names, faces and stories. You will be part of them. And you’ll want, more than ever before, to reach them for Jesus-- to call them your brothers and sisters in Christ.

As a TIMO team member you will:

• Live simply
• Learn a new language
• Share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the least reached
• Minister as part of a team
• Learn and minister under the guidance of experienced missionary team leaders

The TIMO Person

You might be wondering, can I do this thing? What makes a good TIMO member?

Well, first, you need to have a relationship with Jesus. You need to have a longing to play an active part in His Great Commission. Next, you need to be a learner. You need a hunger to know and to understand; to look at things upside down and sideways. You need to be flexible; life in Africa, where most of our teams work, can be frustrating if you’re not willing to go with the flow. You need to be a team player. You’ll need your teammates and they’ll need you. You need to be resourceful. TIMO requires a simple lifestyle – not a lot of stuff – so you might not have the resources you think you need for every situation you encounter. Bring Duct Tape!
