Many of you know in January 2014 I embarked on a mission trip called the “World Race” (WR) with Adventures in Missions (AIM). The WR is a mission trip that travels to 11 countries in 11 months. My route traveled to 11 countries from South to Central America. First hand I was able to see how impoverished these people live as well as what were some of the needs in the areas we lived in.
Four other squads launched with us for the WR in January. Each squad consisted of about 40 people. Approximately 200 people were willingly to sacrifice work, school, relationships back home…etc to help others and to share the gospel.
I want to become a full time missionary within the next year. Prior to doing so I want to learn the ins and outs of planning, putting in motion, and leading mission trips of my own.
I believe AIM’s Fellowship program will fulfill all of those needs and much more.
AIM staff selected 13 out of the 200 WR alum who launched in January to interview for the Fellowship leadership program.
I am one of the 13.
This March I will move to Gainesville Georgia where AIM’s headquarters is located.
1. What is this “Fellowship” program you ask?
“The Fellowship is a 6 month program that allows emerging leaders to uncover their aptitude for partnering biblical principles with innovative thought processes. With an opportunity to practice Kingdom living in the workplace, our Fellows become equipped with an increased capacity to live out their faith through their work and the tools necessary to turn their dreams into a reality”
2. How much money do you need to raise?
$ 10,000
3. What does $10,000 cover over the six months?
- $1,000 monthly stipend to cover living expenses
- Housing for six months (Fellows will live in community together)
- Program costs Curriculum (books, instructors, lessons)
- Fellowship retreat to launch the program
- Monthly activities (i.e. dinners, retreats…etc)
- 1 leadership event during the program
4. Will my donation be tax deductible?
