issues : and how we’re helping

There are 27 million victims of human traffickingIn January 2011 we will launch a four-month World Race focused

just on this issue. 35 fire-breathers are going to some of thedarkest places on earth to help set the captives free.

There are 385 million orphans in the world Next year we will mobilize over 600 new World Racers to hold them,feed them, and tell them the good news about their heavenly Father.

1 billion people have never heard the GospelSince its beginning in 1989, AIM has sent out over 80,000 people to

share the love of Christ with the nations.
