Transform Your Church's vision for mission
Every Sunday, millions of African people wake up in communities where the name of Jesus has never been heard. But your church can change that story. Since 1895, Africa Inland Mission has been partnering with churches like yours to bring the gospel to Africa’s most unreached peoples.
When you partner with AIM, you’re not just supporting missions—you’re joining a movement that’s transforming entire communities across Africa. From the Fulbe people of Guinea to remote villages in Sudan, God is using church partnerships to establish his kingdom in the most challenging places on earth.
