Short-term Opportunities
Gap Year + Internships
There are 3 million Africans residing in North America and many have yet to hear the gospel. Our US-based gap year and internship programs last from one month to one year, seeking to expose men and women like you to incredible opportunities for sharing Christ’s love with African immigrants and refugees. This is a short-term discipleship and mission training program that will instill both Christ-like character and basic skills for reaching the unreached.
Perfect for college interns with an international focus.
Discovery Days
Spend a weekend on-site in a US city where AIM has an operating ministry team. Join the team for a cross-cultural experience, an ethnic meal, and valuable Q+A time. Get a preview of what diaspora work looks like in general, and observe specific ministries in action – such as English classes or refugee resettlement. Gain a better understanding of the scope, importance, and opportunity of reaching ethnic Africans here in America. Discovery Days runs 3 times a year in multiple locations.
Summer “Dream Teams”
Spend two weeks in Europe while being a part of hands-on ministry through partnership with local organizations. Be equipped to share the good news of Jesus in an intentional manner alongside your teammates, while serving vulnerable communities in practical ways. Many of the people you meet will come from a Muslim background and you may be their first Jesus following friend. DREAM Teams are an excellent way to learn more about diaspora ministry and see first hand the opportunities to reach Africans throughout the diaspora. Applications for each summer team are due by the end of March.
