Community Life: training & apprenticeship for
Christ-followers
One year of growth, community, and
ministry.
We’re excited to introduce a
new opportunity that many of you will love. We’re taking our best coaches
and disciplers and matching them up for a year with our most passionate young
people (up to age 31). At Adventures In Missions (AIM), we love the next
generation. We want to see people launched into a whole new way of doing life.
In a culture that esteems independence, we want to restore the value of
interdependence that was so prevalent in the Early Church.
By living in authentic community, disciples of Jesus learn how to be “salt” and
“light” in a way that transforms the world around them. It’s a year of training
and apprenticeship in community.
Community Life is a place where you can continue to grow in your
identity and role in the kingdom
of God. The people of AIM
will pour into you during this year in a number of ways. Our leaders will train
you and hang out with you. We’ll help you sharpen your life focus and call to ministry
and even help you develop your skill sets. We provide housing in Gainesville, GA,
where a select group of 30 young people will live together in several houses in
a neighborhood with easy access to the surrounding community.There are
five major aspects involved in Community Life:
· Mentoring:
As part of creating a personal development plan, you will be paired up with a
leader at AIM that will regularly meet one-on-one with you and provide
coaching, encouragement, and discipleship.Seth Barnes and Scott Borg will
guide a team of top leaders as we return to discipleship as Jesus practiced
it. This includes intensive teaching to help you understand your past,
who you are in Christ, and how to move forward in the plan God has for your life
and ministry.You will work on your own, in small group settings, and with
some of the most experienced and inspirational mentors AIM has to offer.
· Skill
development:You will expand your life skills.Many of you will
have an internship in the office in an area such as recruiting, marketing,
creative writing/editing, media, missions mobilization, web design, or program
development.Your internship will be tailored to develop your
passion. It’s an opportunity to develop valuable work skills through hands-on
training.
· Ministry:In
order to stay connected with ministry, we’ve partnered with a local outreach to
the 60,000 marginalized Hispanics in and around Gainesville.It is important to us that
you continue to be exposed to the poor and have the opportunity to engage in
hands-on ministry. We’ll also partner with a camping and sports ministry.
· Travel:To
continue engaging in different cultures and learning about God’s heart for the
nations, we’ll provide you with opportunities for travel to put into practice
what you have learned. In addition there may be a summer opportunity to
lead various discipleship programs for high school and college students around
the world. You will be able to call others to a life of sacrifice and to fulfilling
the Great Commission. In the future, we’ll plant new leadership training
bases in places like Spain
and Africa with our colleagues Andrew Shearman
and Gary Black and partner with them in developing those training centers.
· Sample
apprenticeships:Recruiting Team, Marketing Team, Multimedia ministry,
discipleship ministry coordination, short-term mission project coordination,
and many others.You will have the opportunity to use your gifts in
mobilizing people for God’s kingdom.
