God’s grace continues

For more than 125 years, Africa Inland Mission has been leading people in cross-cultural ministry in Africa. Today, we still send workers throughout Africa and among African diaspora around the globe. We’re still engaged in over 100 unreached peoples and have hundreds of diverse opportunities to join in.

OUR HISTORY

Africa Inland Mission (AIM) had its beginning in the work of Peter Cameron Scott (1867-1896), a Scottish-American missionary of the International Missionary Alliance who served two years in the Congo before he was sent to Scotland in 1892 because of a near-fatal illness. While recuperating, he developed his idea of establishing a network of mission stations which would stretch from the southeast coast of the continent to the interior’s Lake Chad. He was unable to interest any denomination in this idea (including his own Presbyterian Church), but he was able to interest several of his friends in Philadelphia in the work and in subscribing some funds. This group formed itself in 1895 into the Philadelphia Missionary Council.

We Are God-Centered

We Are Ministry Focused

We Are Member Oriented

“We are committed to help each member grow as they are transformed into the image of Christ.”

The members of Africa Inland Mission believe in:

The deity and personality of God the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of his work to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, leading him to repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; and in his ministry, dwelling permanently within and working through the believer for godly life and service.
The divine, verbal inspiration and infallibility and inerrancy of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, and their absolute and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

AIM’s heart

We are participants in the unstoppable work of God to bring the nations to Him. We come as learners and work in teams. We strive to have an uncompromising love and courageous obedience to Christ’s call, that takes us to places of uncertainty and sometimes, insecurity. All our activities fit within three broad areas of focus:

Disciple making among the unreached
Equipping and Mobilizing African Churches to participate in the Great Commission
Training African Leaders to lead Christ-centered churches

Over 300 million Africans still haven’t heard
