Short Term: Less than one year – If you’re looking to see how God can use you in the world, AIM’s short-term program is a great place to start. Short term offers the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and invest in something bigger than yourself; to discover a world where God is at work in wonderful ways, and to be a part of it. With a flexible attitude and a servant’s heart, you’ll be a blessing to many, and you’ll come away blessed as well. AIM offers assignments of a year or less in a wide range of ministry types.
Short-Term assignments vary widely. Every effort is made to match your gifts and abilities to an assignment that will suit you well. Opportunities exist in the areas of Children's and Youth Ministry, Education, Health Care, Community Development, Administration, Technical Support and more. If your area of interest isn't listed here, don't hesitate to contact us. We'd be glad to explore other possibilities with you. Some assignments are fairly open, and you simply go to lend a hand in whatever way you're called to.
AIM Offers Both Team and Individual Assignments
Individual assignments include individuals, couples, families, and 4th-year medical students and are developed based on current needs on the field. Rotations for 4th-year medical students range from four to eight weeks. All other individual assignments range from two months to one year.
Teams - AIM sends a number of summer teams to a variety of locations in Africa. These teams usually serve from six to eight weeks. Being part of a mission team is an excellent opportunity to serve while establishing quality interpersonal relationships with other team members and nationals. You'll need to be willing to give up personal rights and be vulnerable and accountable to the team. Together, you'll make a difference in each other's lives and in the lives of those you serve in ministry.
Summer team ministries can include: Aviation (AIM AIR team), Construction, Discipleship, Medical Ministries, Prison Ministry, Sports Ministry, Teaching, Youth Ministry, and Prayer Teams.
