Who We Are
An International Anabaptist Family
We are a network of church conferences, congregations, groups and individuals who see ourselves as part of a global family under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission is an evangelical Anabaptist “family gathering” in which African, North American and European members are working together to become an answer to Jesus’ prayer: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.
- We gather periodically to strengthen our collaboration in mission;
- We share gifts and resources among us and for the world;
- We visit each other to encourage each other and to develop and undertake joint projects;
- We volunteer time and energy for God's mission;
- We work in collaboration with other Mennonite groups and agencies such as Mennonite World Conference and Mennonite Central Committee.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the Word of God and the final authority for every Christian.
We believe that Christian mission originates with God, who is fully revealed in Jesus.
Christian life is possible only through a vital, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit and nurtured by the local church.
We identify with an Anabaptist understanding of scripture, which includes believer’s baptism, local congregational fellowship, the renunciation of violence, and sharing Christ’s love through evangelism, peacemaking and meeting human need.

Structure

AIMM is currently led by an international board, named the International Central Council (ICC). The ICC is composed of representatives from participating AIMM partners. Currently the ICC Chair is Calixte Bananzaro, President of the Evangelical Mennonite Church of Burkina Faso. The ICC meets yearly, generally in Africa.
In each country of ministry, AIMM has organized a Partnership Council (PC). Each PC brings together different mission partners. These may include national church leaders; representatives of international partners committed to mission in that country; and representatives of any local or expatriate mission workers sent by an AIMM partner and working in the country. Decisions about mission vision, strategy, personnel and funds are made in each Partnership Council during a yearly meeting at the ministry location. The goal is for full and equal participation of all partners.
New Partnership Councils can be formed as ministries are identified in other countries, and as partners come together to contribute vision, personnel and funds for the work.
National AIMM boards in the USA and Canada provide a legal framework for AIMM’s North American operations. These groups support the ICC in its leadership role.
