Times have changed since five men headed inland from the coast of Kenya in 1895. Travelling on foot and accompanied by camels and local porters, they journeyed almost 300 miles inland to set up the first AIM 'station'. After one year, Peter Cameron Scott, the groups leader, died of blackwater fever and the number of missionaries soon fell to one (read more...). Since then it has grown to almost eight hundred, working in fourteen countries. AIM continues to grow and now has more long-term missionaries than ever before. Over four million people worship in the churches founded through the mission.
In 2005 the Mission began to move towards a regional structure. The map below shows most of our current countries of ministry.
Northern Region
Working in the 10/40 window is tough, yet full of excitement. AIM has experienced God's blessing in opening new and creative ministry opportunities among the nations of Northern Africa.
Central Africa has suffered much pain through the ravages of war, tribalism and genocide. AIM seeks to be a healing presence among the peoples. Countries of ministry include: Chad, Central African Republic (CAR), Southern Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, and Rwanda.
AIM's Southern Region contains complex geograhical challenges from cascading mountain peaks to arrid deserts to remote island locations. Countries of ministry include: Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Madagascar, Lesotho and the Islands of the Indian Ocean.
Our ministries are not limited to the continent of Africa. We desire to work with Africans wherever they are in the world. These countries of ministry include: USA, Canada and UK.
