AIMS Searches for a New CEO to Take the Ministry into the Next Twenty Years

VIRGINIA BEACH (VA): After twenty years of international ministry, the board of directors at Accelerating International Mission Strategies (AIMS) is expanding its executive leadership with the search for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the organization. The CEO will report to the Founder and President and will give direction and leadership to the AIMS organization as well as manage and advise the home office staff. The AIMS board desires to have the new CEO in place by January 2006.

Dr. Howard Foltz, founder and president of AIMS, will mentor the new CEO in the various aspects of the AIMS ministry to acclimate that person in missions mobilization, equipping, partnering, and other entrepreneurial aspects of strategic development. Under Foltz's continued leadership, the new CEO will be able to further advance the mission of AIMS throughout the next twenty years and beyond.

Foltz founded AIMS in 1985 to challenge the Church to take the Gospel where it never has been proclaimed. Besides serving AIMS as its leader, Dr. Foltz teaches full-time at Regent University as their Professor of Global Evangelization. Through his vision and leadership as president of the organization, AIMS has become internationally acclaimed. During the past 20 years, AIMS has equipped and partnered with national movements and denominations to train more than 75,000 national pastors and businessmen to minister more effectively, produced dozens of seminars, and launched a humanitarian outreach called Compassion Aid Network (CAN). As a result of AIMS' ministry and the associated partnerships developed, 29 million people have heard the Gospel (many for the very first time), 14,000 churches have been planted, and more than 2.2 million people have received Jesus Christ!
