Well January Racers, you’re now right in the thick of what we call “mobilization” — the time between when you’ve been accepted and when you’ll be ready to launch. You’re going to do yourself a favor if you stay on top of everything that needs to get done in this period. Don’t wait until the last minute. Here are five things you can do to continue to prepare for the Race.
1. Upload Passport Information
- Go to the “My Mobilization Info” tab on your profile.
- Choose the “Documents” section.
- Upload a scanned image of your passport AND enter the information in the required fields.
2. Research and purchase Vaccinations and Travel Insurance
- Go to the “My Mobilization Info” tab on your profile. Choose the “Preparation” section.
- Vaccination information can be found under the “(+/-)” menu labeled “Medical”. Insurance information can be found under “Insurance”.
- Be aware that some vaccinations may require a series of shots, so you should research your need as soon as possible.
3. Upload Training Camp travel information
- Read details about when to arrive at and depart from Training Camp.
- Book your travel to and from Camp.
- Visit the “Travel” section under your “My Mobilization Info tab on your profile to upload the details of how and when you will be arriving in Georgia for Training Camp.
4. Register for a Web Conference with your Mobilizer

5. Mail your Support Letter and Begin Follow-Up
- Have someone proofread your support letter, upload it to your profile under the “Documents” section of your “My Mobilization Info” tab.
- Send your support letter with a Support Card and an envelope addressed to the AIM PO box address to your entire support list.
- Begin making follow-up phone calls about a week after you’ve sent the letter. Set up dinner and coffee appointments to share with people the vision of what God is going to do in and through you with the World Race.
