Vision 2020
What does AIM hope to accomplish through Christ by the year 2020?  These are God-sized goals, but with His help, we can see more and more people groups reached with the gospel through engaging new unreached people groups, equipping African church leaders, and mobilizing the African church to missions.

Identity
What is the task, and who are we trying to reach?




Move Against The Fear
Many of Africa's unreached people lie beyond political and geographical barriers that are difficult to cross.  It requires risk and sacrifice, and can be scary. But we are called to move against the fear...



Walking in Shadow
We desire to come alongside our Muslim brothers and sisters to engage them and present Christ.

Proclaiming Christ in lands where the Gospel is not welcome

Same Goal, Different Role...

In this edition: * My new role with AIM * Support raising info * Prayer Points * Since I've Been Home" photo update View this email in your browser New Year, New Role(s!) Happy New Year! Phew! 2015 was a big year! I returned from Kenya in April and graduated with my masters in intercultural ministries. In the spring, Kevin renovated his house and we planned our wedding, along with doing a whole bunch of house hunting.  We got married on July 25 (finally!!!), adding the roles of wife and step-mom to my roster.  After returning from our honeymoon, we continued the house hunt and God led us to the perfect place! We put an offer in at the end of August, and moved in in October. Since then, we've been settling in and settling down. Kevin, Tori, Sydney and I enjoyed our first Christmas together, complete with a lot of well-deserved relaxing, Christmas movies, and Christmas cookies! There are many things to look forward to in a bright shiny New Year.  In particular, I'm excited to tell you about yet another new role on the horizon for me and my involvement with Africa Inland Mission! It's been forever since my last newsletter, I know, but I've had just a few other things going on!  But now, it's finally time to hit the LAUNCH! button in this next phase of God's call on my life to missions, Africa, and unreached people - mobilizing! There are lots of different ways God needs people involved in sharing the Gospel to those who have not heard.  In Romans 10:12-15, Paul says this: ... The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As is is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"   Four Rendille women walking out to a village to share Jesus. Aren't their feet beautiful? Did you catch that? Missionaries don't - can't! - just go, they need to be sent!  I am SO excited to get to join a team of people from around the country that will help recruit, support, and SEND missionaries into some of the most challenging places in Africa to reach those who have never had a chance to hear about the One who richly blesses and saves all who call on His name. So what does a Provincial Mobilizer do, anyway? While there are lots of ways to answer this question, the following explains in a nutshell what my job will be as a provincial mobilizer for Alberta: One - Through attending conferences and missions fests/events around Alberta and by answering emails from people who find out about AIM through various ways, I will get to recruit workers for the field and be the initial contact for new inquirers to AIM Two - I will get to stay informed about current, planned, and dreamed ministries around the continent that need new workers.  God is leading AIM leadership into more and more exciting, creative, and strategic ministries and I will get to be part of helping communicate these opportunities to inquirers and applicants to AIM.  As I get to know applicants better, I will help them discern which ministry is the best fit for them. Three -  I will get the privilege of walking with people and supporting them as they work through the application process and the (sometimes) long process of getting to their ministry in Africa.  I will get to be a support and a contact for them while they're away, as well as do debriefs with them and help them transition back to Canada when they return from Africa for home assignment or after their short term assignments. What am I looking forward to? I'm excited about continuing in ministry with AIM to help reach the unreached in Africa.  This is an extension and expansion of my work in Kenya - same goal, different role! While my job now will be based in Calgary, it is still global work! It is thrilling to hear of - and communicate to you - the many different strategic ways AIM is and is planning to reach the unreached.  For example, in a new development, AIM is preparing for an upcoming team (beginning in 2017) which will be reaching out to a large population of people from an unreached people group now living in CANADA! Yes, AIM realizes there are many of Africa's unreached people moving beyond the continent and is intensifying their focus on diaspora ministries around the world, including right here in Canada!   I can't wait to meet people who are following God's call on their life and investigating or moving towards missions in Africa.  I get to have a 'front row seat' to what God is doing in their lives and help encourage and equip them to take the next steps... How cool is THAT?!?! If you're interested in hearing more and in following or supporting me in this next chapter, check out the sections below or click here for more information! Until the whole world hears, Prayer and Financial Support Like my work in Kenya, mobilizing is a support-funded position. I will be looking for individuals, small groups, and churches who are willing to partner with me both in prayer and financially in this new role. Support for mobilizing is typically in the form of monthly pledges, as I have a monthly target of about $3400 I have to meet in order to begin work, However, yearly, quarterly, or even one time partnerships are - of course - always welcome, too.  My and AIM's goal is for me to have full support and to begin work as of April 1 of this year. Would you pray about partnering with me? Check out the button below for more information and for how to do this. Also, if you would like to have me come speak at your small group or church, or would like to share more about my new role with others you think might be interested in partnering with me, let me know! It is very likely I will need to reach beyond my own personal network to meet my monthly support target, and I would love it if you'd help me do that! Email me at hello_hillary@yahoo.ca Prayer Points Praise for a wonderful 2015 - an amazing husband, two beautiful stepdaughters, and a new home!  I am blessed far beyond what I deserve! for enough work substitute teaching to fill the income gap until I am able to start mobilizing for the opening of Tirrim schools for another year Prayer for healing and answers for some persistent health issues this fall/winter for my support raising process. It seems daunting, but God is bigger than any mountain I face! for peace and patience in a season of transition - new marriage, new step mom, new house, new job... for Tirrim schools - adequate funding, Godly leadership and staff, and the transformed lives of students If you would like to support my mobilizing ministry, or would just like more information, click the button below. How to Support Hillary's Mobilizing Ministry Since last you heard from me... Top Left: Homecoming! I arrived home April 16, and Kevin, Tori, and Sydney all met me at the airport.  Lots of hugs and tears! Top Right: Ten days after arriving home was grad! A little surreal that I'm done! Grateful my parents could come out from Vancouver to spend some time and celebrate with me. Center: Wedding day! Kevin and I (FINALLY!) got married July 25.  It was a perfect day! Bottom Left: Lots and lots of house hunting - we saw somewhere in the vicinity of 50 houses - and we finally found our perfect-for-us home.  We moved in October 6.  I'm almost done setting up my home office downstairs for my mobilizing work! Woohoo!  Bottom Right: Our first Christmas married, together, and in our new home! What a wonderful way to end an amazing year!
