The questions of: Why Africa? Why Kenya? comes up all the time. As children both Jane and I were bothered by the fact that there are many in the world that have never heard of our savior Jesus Christ. This seed took hold in our hearts. But Africa? Going there (especially for Jane) was for someone else. It took a lot of work by the Holy Spirit to make this even a consideration.
As adults we find it unreal that there are still over 970 unreached people groups in Africa. AIM's mission is to find ways to reach these groups. While this is difficult and takes a lot of time and effort, we believe wholeheartedly in this mission. While we will not be out in the bush showing the Jesus film or anything like that, we are making it possible for others to take on that task.
When we were in Atlanta, we were so inspired by the families going to Africa. These families are leaving everything behind to help complete AIM's mission. By working at RVA we can provide direct support to those on the front lines. Our goal is to make the lives of every family we come in contact with easier. Please pray that we won't lose sight of this goal and get caught up in ourselves.
