Join the AIM Short-Termer community. Sign up for the “Compelled” newsletter for stories and the latest on Short-Term opportunities.

“Compelled” is the theme of AIM’s Short-Term ministry. Taken from 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, it captures the “why” behind what we do. It is Christ’s love that draws us into mission—we can’t help but do what Jesus has laid on our hearts. So we go, pray, and send because Christ died for us; Because we’ve been changed by the gospel; Because His love compels us to share the Good News to the ends of the earth.

TRAINING TEAMS
GO-Beyond

Facilitated by experienced missionaries and national leaders, GO-Beyond is a 2-month discipleship and mission training program that seeks to develop Christ-like character, instill basic skills for outreach among unreached people groups, and encourage long-term commitment to the call of God to “go and make disciples.” A new GO-Beyond team is launched every summer.
