Story
Join me on this journey as I Step Inland for Lent.
By the end of the 19th century, the gospel had reached the coastlines of Africa but there were vast, unchartered and unreached inlands beyond where millions knew nothing about Jesus Christ. When Peter Cameron Scott, a young British man, visited the tomb of David Livingstone in Westminster Abbey he read the inscription I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also. - John 10:16. He felt the Holy Spirit stirring in his heart, and accepted the call to go to the inlands of Africa.
AIM founder Peter Scott decided to go where missionaries had never travelled and take the gospel to those people who never heard the good news of Jesus Christ. Scott walked 2,600 miles in a single year to establish a network of mission stations that later stretched all the way from the coast of Kenya to Lake Chad. Scott's vision lives on as AIM continues to pioneer work among the unreached people groups of Africa. In that sense, we continue to move inland, "overcoming obstacles to make inroads and make disciples among Africa's remaining unreached".
Please follow my journey as I Step Inland for Lent and raise up support for the work of AIM as they support missionaries and raise up a new generation of missionaries that will take the gospel to the unreached people groups of Africa. Our vision remains the same, so over this Lent period, well travel that journey virtually.
