Rianne van Leeuwen works as a Mission Mobiliser for Africa Inland Mission in the Netherlands.
Our mission is to support churches in the Netherlands and their members to respond to the Biblical command to make all nations His disciples.
Since 2021, she has been involved in AIM’s work in the Netherlands as a mobiliser. In this, she works with a local board. In doing so, she is part of the European team of mobilisers in the European office. As a Dutch mobiliser, she sees it as her task and assignment to encourage and support churches in fulfilling our mission. In doing so, she gives specific attention to the work to be done among the peoples of Africa. She encourages people to get involved in cross-cultural mission through their prayers, financial support or by considering going themselves.
Both the work in Africa done by our Dutch missionaries and the work in the Netherlands is all about building relationships. She establishes and maintains contact with churches and church leaders, with other mission organisations that also work among the least reached peoples. She believes in the power of cooperation and sees it as her mission to connect churches and missions more and more. It is the church that sends and she gets to help them understand their part in God’s global mission.
Besides her work for AIM, she is also involved in an Arts & Discipleship School and works with several artists. In this, too, she has a mission to use these arts to serve society and (re)connect people with the creator God.
