I was made to start things – it’s what I do. So I’ve been asking God, “How do we help young people live in community and find mentorship?” Something profound happens when a Jesus-follower gives his life to ministry for a year in the context of communal living. I’ve seen that element combined with great coaching to be a powerful combination. So that’s why we’re starting this new program called Community Life. Came up with the concept this past month and immediately threw it out there on the web. Maybe you or someone you know will want to join us. Here’s what I said – let me know what you think:

Give the next year of your life to community, spiritual growth, and ministry.

At Adventures In Missions (AIM), 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 an authentic faith 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 learning to live like Christ with the support of mentors and peers.

Our leaders will train and hang out with you, helping you sharpen your life focus and call to ministry. 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: You will be paired up with a leader at AIM that will regularly meet one-on-one with you to provide coaching, encouragement, and discipleship.

Ministry: You will partner with a local outreach to 60,000 marginalized Hispanics, as well as with camping and sports ministries.

Travel: You will have a chance to put into action what you are learning, including opportunities to lead various discipleship programs for high school and college students around the world.
