Hello, and welcome to the world of Ambassadors in Mission (AIM)! AIM is a ministry program designed to provide you the opportunity to participate in missions and reach the lost by experiencing outreach ministry firsthand. Missions was God’s idea first. In fact, the only prayer Jesus commanded his disciples to pray is found in Matthew 9:38. “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (NIV).
It is our responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission. By participating on an AIM trip, you will get the chance to work side-by-side with missionaries on the field and directly share in their ministries. It is our prayer that through the hands-on, interactive learning AIM trips provide, students and adults alike will be able to apply the same passion they experience on their AIM outreach to their own neighborhoods and campuses at home.
From the National AIM Liaison
Jim Wellborn
Greetings, friends! It is my honor to serve you as a missionary with the Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) on assignment with the National Youth Ministries department. My role is to help coordinate and facilitate your AIM trips as your official AGWM AIM Liaison. My missions experience has taken me to over 50 countries and allowed me to participate in many foreign and stateside AIM trips. All AIM trips are a coordinated effort between students, leaders, missionaries, and host churches. Nearly 10,000 students participate in these trips each year…and with Assemblies of God missions in over 250 countries, the opportunities for ministry are endless.
Our goal is to see every student be able to go on an AIM trip before they graduate high school. To this end, we are continuing to develop a core AIM Affiliate network which will include other short-term missions ministries that have a like-minded mission. We are also continuing to develop relevant resources and opportunities for all local churches and districts to utilize. Please feel free to contact me anytime at jwellborn@ag.org.
