Class of 2005 Begins

AIM Class of 2005 Begins
By Kris Smith, AIM Director

The AIM Class of 2005 is pictured here with some of the AIM staff at the AIM Fall Retreat in Alto, New Mexico.

On August 6th, 58 young men and women walked into the AIM classroom to begin their adventure in missions! The plans of so many had finally become a reality. For our staff, it was truly exciting as we began to meet those we will grow close to over the next several months. Recently one more was added to that number to make a class of 59! They came from 14 States as well as Australia, England, and Russia. There are 24 guys and 35 ladies. Several are siblings of past AIM students, some are children of SIBI alumni and 3 are from parents who came to AIM years ago.

In just a short time this new class has already experienced some exciting things such as flag presentations, trips, lots of homework and making great friends. So many good things are in store for them over the next several months of their training. Please continue to keep them in your constant prayers as God uses this place to prepare them for one of the most important tasks there is, taking the good news to a lost world!
