Frequently Asked Questions

When will your family be in Finland? Our deputation is scheduled to last two years (ending in May 2010). However, we are praying that it is much shorter than that!

How do I learn more about AIM? Visit www.fmdaim.org

How does one become an AIM?  First, pray. Seek God's direction for your future. Second, speak to your pastor. Because your pastor knows you best, and prays for you, he will be able to guide you through the process. His guidance and approval is necessary to ensure that you find success in following God's will. After pastor approval, while communicating with us along the way, begin the application process by visiting www.fmdaim.org and download the Associates in Missions application (or, you can write to fmdaim@upci.org if you do not have a printer, and they will send you an application in the mail). Just follow the directions contained within your packet; the approval process usually takes up to 2 months. Once you are approved, begin raising your money!

How long is an AIM term? The shortest is 2 months and the longest is 12 (with extensions available upon request).

How much money would I need to raise for a term in Finland? We are in the process of working with  the AIM department to determine costs; stay in contact with us about this!

How do you plan to reach the country?  We are dividing the country into regions by population (read more about this plan by visiting our vision for Finland webpage, or contact us via email for more information). Our goal is to have (12) AIM working alongside our family each year (culminating in 3 to 4 teams of 12 members, or couples, per year).
