Taking Short-Term Missions to The Edge…

“This was a great experience and made me get out of my comfort zone… God was stretching us like a rubber band.”
-Gulf Coast Mission Project Participant
 
For nearly 20 years, we at Adventures in Missions (AIM) have considered it our calling to bring the mission field to the church’s doorstep.
While AIM has been doing short-term missions for many years now, we believe that “The Edge” does a better job of communicating our purpose and vision for why we do short-term missions.

The Edge is not a new program, but rather a new direction and description of something we’ve been doing for a long time.

The Edge means:
 

Leaving the comfort of your own culture and coming to the edge of where two worlds meet…





Going to the edge of yourself and realizing that you have what it takes to live a life of adventurous faith…


Deciding what’s important in a world that calls you to compromise what you believe. Staring off the edge of a huge cliff, you have two choices – jump into the unknown or retreat – and you don’t come back the same…

 
As we introduce your group to situations that will give them opportunities to allow God to work in and through them, our intention is that an Edge trip will be “your stage for impact” – a place for each person to experience dramatic life change.




The Edge is a ministry of Adventures In Missions.
