We’re delighted to introduce you to Tony, our new Director at AIM Europe 👋

He shares about his journey - the experiences that have shaped him, how God has led him to where he is today and the ways he’s seen God lead others into mission.

How do we recognise and discern God’s call in our own lives? How do we cultivate a heart for the nations? And how can AIM come alongside individuals and churches as they explore these questions?

Come and hear from Tony and join the conversation in our latest interview.

You can watch the full interview on our YouTube channel through the link in our bio.

“I am not walking the roads I once thought I would be walking… yet I am deeply thankful for his faithfulness in bringing me back to his truth: that he knows the plans he has for us”.
- Ruth

Ruth works as a counsellor for Tumaini in Kenya. She shares her own experience of unexpected turns in the road.

Perhaps your journey into mission hasn’t looked the way you thought it would either.

Maybe you’re waiting. Maybe a door has closed. Maybe you’ve had to let go of a dream or the idea of what you thought your life would look like.

But take comfort: God is not surprised by the twists and turns. They weren’t his plan B. What felt like a detour or disappointment was never outside his purposes. God is faithful, and your steps remain held in his hands.

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps” (Proverb 16:9).

In mission, no two days look the same. But neither is every day always full of adventure or grand events.

Life can mirror many of the same routines we all experience: having coffee in the morning, doing the laundry, getting the groceries, lunch, setting aside time to pray, and sitting outside drinking tea with local friends, preparing resources for teaching English or making dinner. It might include other things like language learning, cultural orientation, writing newsletters, off road car journeys or packing for another flight.

Some days might be filled with structure, others less predictable. Yet between all of it is the daily rhythm of trusting God, walking with him as he nourishes, leads and provides. The end of the day might be a time for reflection, with a sense that life as a mission partner is less about going on a crazy adventure, and more about staying present to people and to God through ordinary faithfulness.

Today is the international day of women and girls. Women make up the majority of believers around the world. Out of Africa’s population of 1.6 billion, 796 million of them are women and girls. Women play an irreplaceable role in shaping the future of the African church and global mission.

They play a vital role in shaping the foundations of culture, community, economics and family life. Yet, as in many parts of the world, women and girls are treated as second class citizens, facing barriers to accessing education, healthcare and opportunities. Many experience shame, rejection or stigma around having children, marriage or being widowed. Others are left vulnerable to exploitation, early marriage, polygamy and prostitution. In many predominantly Muslim cultures, particularly across Western and Northen Africa, cultural and religious structures can mean women spend much of their times with other women. So how do those women hear about the gospel? And who will tell them?

Women are not merely supporters of ministry, but essential participants in God’s redemptive purposes, with unique spheres of influence. In the Bible, women were entrusted to proclaim the resurrection of Christ. Today, women have unique opportunities to reach, disciple, encourage and walk alongside other women. They bring unique gifts and perspectives to the global church, taking the gospel into homes and communities that might otherwise remain unreached.

So the question isn’t ‘is women’s ministry important?’ but ‘How can we recognise the unique role women play in God’s mission?’

Africa is full of different cultures, ethnicities and worldviews.

On the Open Doors world watch list, ranking the countries where Christians are most persecuted for their faith, 19 out of 50 are in Africa. Out of those 50, 5 African countries are in the top 10, including Somalia, Sudan and Nigeria. Many of these countries are closed to the gospel. But they’re not closed to teachers, agriculturalists, bakers, barristers or engineers.

Phil shares the great opportunities there are for using your skills and experience to open doors, build relationships and share the gospel where more traditional Christian witness is restricted.

“If we’re using our work and our life skills where we are, then God can take hold of that, and use us anywhere in the world.”

Faithful stewardship is a key part of mission.

Finances might not be the first thing you read in mission partner newsletters or think about when proclaiming the goods news throughout the world. Yet the faithful stewardship of finances enables the gospel to reach those who've never heard.

We give thanks for the ways God continues to bless the work of AIM through the generosity of his people. It's so much more than numbers. It's a witness of how God provides through the details.

Responding to God’s call to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ is never done alone.

Stepping into mission is not an individual decision, but a commissioning from the church body. The church’s partnership is central for the sending and caring of missionaries. This is more than financial support. It’s the relationships, communication, prayer and practical care that enables missionaries to go well and thrive where God has called them to. From those first conversations of conviction or curiosity to supporting the transition back to their sending country for the final time, the church’s involvement is essential for supporting and sustaining missionaries.

5 practical ways your church can send well.

1. Actively creating space for exploration. Be a place for young people and adults to explore mission with guidance, mentorship and encouragement. Prioritise mission on Sundays, pray for the nations and point people to God’s heart for the nations through worship and bible teaching.

2. Identify and affirm callings. Look out for those who are already stuck in at their local church and serving the nations.

3. Provide theological and practical training . Partner with training organisations or prioritise discipleship to prepare missionaries spiritually and practically.

4. Offer local support. Help with fundraising, networking, and communicating with the whole church. It’s not meant to be done alone!

5. Commission with intentionality and prayer. A commissioning service is more than symbolic – it’s a declaration of an ongoing partnership. Be clear about what the church commits to in supporting mission workers.

There are many obstacles that can prevent the gospel from being proclaimed. We might think of spiritual oppression or resistance to the gospel message, but what about technical support, vehicle repair or mental health for mission partners who are struggling? There’s so much more that goes into making proclamation possible.
