National Ministry Takes on a New Name

AIMS News: Posted 10/1/2005

Since 2004, the Dearborn outreach has connected teenagers and young adults with the viable mission field right here in the United States. Throughout the next year, "Philip" (AIMS Team Strategy Coordinator) plans to expand the ministry to include cities such as New York City, Orlando, and Washington, DC. In September, he officially named the project Philip 8.4.8.

Nearly one million people immigrate to the United States every year. Many of these people come from countries where evangelism is illegal and Christians are openly persecuted. Focusing on Acts 8:4-8, Philip decided to model the national outreaches after the story of Philip in the New Testament.

By connecting teenagers, young adults, youth pastors, and interested laypeople with communities of unreached people groups within our own country, Philip hopes to interest them in further cross-cultural ministry. Each team will be trained in evangelism, form partnerships with churches already working within these communities, and have the opportunity to share the Gospel with Muslims and Hindus living in America.

Because each ministry trip is unique, church teams can utilize their own special talents on the field. Opportunities include street evangelism, tract distribution, drama and dance ministry, children's ministry, puppetry, worship, prayer and intercession.
