Missions Week

African Inland Missions

AIM’s mission statement is to see the worship of Jesus Christ spread across Africa—through individual lives fully committed to Him, and collectively through Christ-centered church communities. AIM is looking for others who are willing to pack up and go for a couple of months or an entire career. They are committed to being and making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Asian Rural Institute

Located in Northern Japan, the Asian Rural Institute (ARI) is an international training ground for grassroots rural leaders. Each year ARI conducts a nine-month Rural Leaders Training Program on Sustainable Agriculture, Community Development, and Leadership. Upon completion, program participants return to their home villages and communities to work side by side with their people, pass on their learning, and promote development from within.

Create International

The vision of Create International is to communicate the message of Jesus Christ in ways that people can understand from their cultural and linguistic background, using tools that can be widely circulated. Dramatic films, evangelistic artwork, websites, indigenous music—God has given us creative strategies to make His message known among the nations.

CSM

CSM (Center for Student Missions) emphasizes the importance of students having a mission experience that helps them become missional leaders to make a lasting difference in the city and among those God brings there. Students on these missions trips will live in the city, learn about the city, and then become part of the solutions for the city.

English Language Institute China

Since 1981 we have been placing passionately committed people in teaching roles across Asia, who primarily serve through the medium of English instruction. We accomplish this through recruiting, training and sending men and women from the USA, Canada and other countries, to meet the ever-growing demand for quality English education in Asia. The comprehensive graduate-level training provided to our new teachers has raised the bar significantly in the countries where we serve. Ongoing professional development opportunities for our teachers include earning Master’s Degrees, graduate certificate programs, and two Ph.D. options.

Frontiers

Frontiers is an international movement of nearly a thousand workers from dozens of countries in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa and South America.

Approximately 200 Frontiers teams now share Jesus in over 40 Muslim countries. Since we began serving among Muslims, God has graciously used us to begin more than 200 fellowships of Muslim-born believers.

InnerCHANGE

InnerCHANGE is communities of missionaries living in marginalized neighborhoods around the world—places most people want to avoid or ignore. InnerCHANGE seeks to live out the good news of Jesus among the poor, both with words and deeds. The importance of relationships is emphasized at InnerCHANGE as they desire to see poor people come together as communities of followers of Christ in each place where we are present.

Interserve

Interserve’s original vision has been consistent since 1852: lives and communities transformed through encounters with Jesus Christ. Interserve is an interdenominational and intentional community of Christians who bring God’s love to the people of Asia and the Arab world through word and action.

Kupenda

Wycliffe Bible Translators

Wycliffe Bible Translators serve languages spoken in more than 90 countries. Most of the remaining translation are minority languages—small people groups, many of which struggle to maintain their identity in the shadow of majority culture. Often these groups have no written language of their own and struggle to gain the literacy skills necessary to prosper in the majority culture.
