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 Antakarana people of Madagascar to the Lesotho shepherds high in the mountains, God is using church partnerships to establish his kingdom in the most challenging places on earth.
Invite a speaker
Let us bring a taste of mission to your church. Our passionate speakers share powerful stories, current needs, and exciting opportunities that will ignite your passion for mission.
We can share:
- Compelling presentations tailored to your church
