I feel like I need to spend this week communicating to all of you what I do, what I am a part of.  I just got back to Michigan last night after spending two weeks in Kansas.  There were two questions I was asked the most: 1) are you dating anybody; and 2) what do you do?  My goal this week is to spend some time answering the latter question.  I wrote a series on support raising a couple of weeks ago and mentioned the importance of communicating vision. 

So what do I do?  This is what I do:
 
I work in the marketing and innovation department at Adventures In Missions.  I also work directly with the World Race
program.  Essentially, I’m a communicator and a storyteller.  I work
best when what I’m doing involves creating and casting vision through
the means of media or voice.

Now, I could say that all I do is
work with the World Race and the marketing and innovation department at
AIM.  But that’s thinking narrowly and only communicates a part of what I do.

Thee overall vision of AIM is to create over 10,000 disciple-makers over the next five years.  By following God, AIM
creates opportunities for individuals to reach our world.  It’s an
organization that’s been to over 64 countries and built relationships
with individuals and churches, mobilized the church in America and
overseas, discipled thousands, and it responsible for helping create
one of the biggest births of hope to countries that were once hopeless.

Since its inception, AIM
has sent out over 80,000 missionaries all across the world.  The best
part is that there is so much fruit as evidence.  The fruit is
overseas, the fruit is within American borders, and a lot of it’s also
working for the organization now.  What’s even more incredible, is that
AIM keeps
growing.  At the beginning it had a goal of creating over 10,000
disciple-makers… but I feel like that number should be more like
100,000. 

What’s come out of AIM are orphan advocacy programs, business opportunities in third-world
nations, pastors who work in America and overseas, church planters,
justice care workers, and more. 

That’s the big picture of AIM.
 
I am a part of the team that calls all of these
individuals who change the world to action.  I’m a part of the group
that’s responsible for getting the pastors, church planters, justice
care workers, and others to the field and into the awareness that they
are who they are.  Yet in order for me to remain a part of this ministry, I need your help.  
 
My position with AIM is support-raised, which means that I’m responsible for getting the financial backing to support my job.  Without it, I can’t continue the ministry I’ve been a part of for the past year.  My support goal for this year is $20,000.  So far I have only raised about $4,000.  I currently only have $390/ month coming in.  My goal is $1,000!  Without it – I can’t continue shaping individuals and nations in this capacity.
 
Please prayerfully consider becoming a part of this ministry with me!  I’m accepting any kind of donation in any amount.  No amount is too little!  To make a donation to this ministry, you can do so by clicking here.
 
Thank you so much in advance!
