Virtual diaspora team

Play Video

Location: online event – a focus on the diaspora people in Europe.

This one-week online team will be running in the autumn. Dates to be confirmed.

This virtual mission event is designed to shine a light on the diaspora peoples in Europe. Millions of migrants and refugees have made perilous journeys over land and sea to European nations. Long term resident missionaries in Belgium and Spain will open our eyes to the cultural dynamics of serving displaced peoples while bringing you simple and reproducible tools that will help reach out not only to displaced peoples, but also people in your own backyard.

Each evening will consist primarily of three main components:

Exposure and interaction with work happening in Belgium and Spain with diaspora (refugee) populations.
Prayer focused on these people and global diaspora persons.
Training on outreach to unreached people groups that can be applied locally and further afield.

FAQS

Do I need to be a Christian to do this?

Yes, you must be a born-again Christian with an active and growing relationship with Jesus Christ and agree with AIM's statement of faith. AIM is an evangelical Christian mission agency. We work in partnership with the African church to reach Africa's unreached peoples with the good news of Jesus Christ, and to develop leaders for the fast-growing church.

How is AIM different from other mission organisations?

Every mission organisation is different, and no one organisation is necessarily better than another. It’s more about finding an organisation that’s a good fit for you, where your calling and the organisation’s calling and values are a good match. AIM’s emphasis is on reaching those who have yet to hear the gospel, and all our ministry - long and short term - is designed to see Christ-centred churches among all African peoples. Regardless of how long you serve for and the different gifts, skills and experience you bring with you, your ministry will be part of that bigger goal. That may mean going to difficult or hard to reach places to share the gospel. Working in partnership with the local church in Africa, we labour for the over 300 million people living in Africa who have little opportunity to hear the gospel, and even less to be discipled as a follower of Jesus. Is God calling you to go to them?

Listen to Tim Matthews, one of our Mission Advisors, explaining why we’re passionate about reaching those who have yet to hear the gospel:

Luke Herrin

In Acts 18:10, the Lord told Paul that he should keep speaking clearly because he had many people in Corinth. The Lord has many people in your city. We just need to find them. And the best way to do that is just to talk to them.

Short term (under a year)

There are many ways to serve short term. Whether on a team, as an individual, on a medical elective, or as a Bible college placement, short term with AIM fits into our long term ministry of reaching Africa’s unreached with the gospel. LEARN MORE

United Kingdom & Europe

Ministry in the United Kingdom & Europe ranges from being a part of mobilising offices, to teaching in Bible colleges to being involved in work among the African Diaspora across the continent. LEARN MORE

Diaspora

Taking the good news of Jesus to Africa’s hardest to reach people does not always mean a move to Africa. Today, millions of Africans live outside of Africa: in North America, Europe, and around the globe – the African diaspora. LEARN MORE
