Teaching: Supporting through serving
For many missionary families, it is the support they receive through school ministries like Rift Valley Academy and Wellspring, as well as homeschool teachers, that enables them to remain on the mission field. Perhaps you could help to support mission families in this way? Teaching is also a great ministry for those reaching out to the African diaspora.
Why we serve:
“It’s really important to remember the role Rift Valley Academy is playing in AIM’s vision to see Christ-centred churches amongst all African peoples. The families whose children board here or live here are and have been involved in mission with some of the hardest to reach people groups in Africa. Many work in the north in conditions very inhospitable to Christians, or in unofficial war zones or drought and famine-ridden counties but we’re all working towards calling people home to Jesus forever.”
