Seeing unreached people groups come to a saving knowledge of Jesus is fruit of the body of Christ in action, each using their particular gifts to share the good news of Jesus Christ. That can mean using aviation skills to fly those with a heart for church planting into some of the most inaccessible parts of Africa, it can mean qualified counsellors seeking to support those on the field as they deal with the challenges of life without the support of close friends and family, or it can mean administration and development roles in mobilising offices across the world and regional offices across Africa.
There are so many different elements that contribute to fulfilling the call to see Christ-centred churches across Africa, could share your gifts and skills and become part of the gospel work in Africa?
Having joined AIM Europe in 2012, Tim is preparing to serve as Director for the AIM Asia Pacific Mobilising Region leading a small team in Australia and coordinating teams in Hong Kong and New Zealand. He is due to succeed the current Director in April 2024 and he and Heather are planning to relocate to Gosford, near Sydney Australia early in 2024.
In this episode, Amos sits down with Tony and Cath Swanson, AIM missionaries in Kenya,
Here’s a good question: who are you? Defining ourselves is often complex. Most of us have a mental list of our identities. This would be my list: woman, mother, retired police officer, single, British, daughter, missionary… I could go on.
Statistically, female pilots make up about 7% of the mission workplace, aircraft mechanics only 2%. Female pilot/mechanic, there’s not even a statistic for that.
Amos talks to missionary aviation pilot, Jerry Hurd. AIM Air is a Christian missionary aviation team operating six aircraft from three bases in east and central Africa.
We are currently in the process of raising support to go to Kenya next year with AIM AIR.
