Edit of the page, Adventures in Missions (Texas)

1. The page that I am editing has a shortage of information and needs to be updated. I plan on putting a better picture to portray what AIM is. I also want to include more information on what the history has been about the institution; if that means more history of the presidents or the accomplishments that they have made since the beginning. I could also possibly add a picture of the current president so that they get an idea of credibility for AIM. 2. As far as the "talk" page goes, there used to be an issue with the image that was used in the article; however, another editor corrected the format that was wrong before. 3. The Wikiproject article is under Christianity. The article states what the project is about; they want to make sure that all christian traditions are represented accurately. The article has much information on the subject, a key thing that they have that a lot of other articles do not when it comes to religion is the subtitle- Bias. 4.

Application Process
The following steps make up the process that an individual should do before applying into AIM. One of the most recommended action to take is to pray about it and have the parents and family friends pray about the decision as well. Talking about it with the support system in the family will make the decision clearer in the end. If the person has decided to go through with AIM, then the next step would be to go online and apply. When the individual gets accepted, then they should start raising financial support. Once the person moves to Lubbock and starts the process of going to classes, it becomes harder to have a job and provide support in every day life; therefore, the individual must fundraise by sending letters and/or talking to people in depth about the process they are going through. Once the person has reached the goal amount of support, then the individual should be set and needs to wait until August to move into their apartment. A recommended task would be to keep in touch with the staff or any of their roommates so that there will not be any confusion and so it could be as smooth as possible.

Staff
The director of Adventures in Missions is Cory Burns, Cory burns used to be in the program and now has AIM under his arms. Cory travels everywhere that the students travel and makes sure that the students are on top of their studies. The Aim Advancement Coordinator is Pat Sheaffer, who is also an AIM alumni. Pat helps make the decisions on where to take the students and what they will be involved in. AIM would not be the same without him as he helps the students get to their destination. Pat also goes around the nation in order to recruit other students for the next year to come. The rest of the team consists of Robby Stephens and Barb Smith. Robby Stephens is the Staff Coordinator who helps make the events happen wherever the students go. If there were to be any questions, then the person who would have the answer would be Barb Smith- the receptionist in the AIM office, located at Sunset Church of Christ.

Addition To History
"Sunset School of Preaching" is what brought AIM alive. Cline Paden started SSOP ( now known as Sunset International Bible Institute, SIBI) in 1962 soon after he was finished doing missionary trips. The schools purpose in the beginning was to teach Spanish-speaking individuals who were motivated, to preach. Because of this, the school was named, " Latin American Bible School". After a period of time, the organization moved its purpose to evangelism. Due to the amount of people joining the organization and the change of purpose, "Latin American Bible School" finally changed its named to "Adventures In Missions". In 1993 Cline Paden retired and the president position was passed to Truitt Adair. Truitt Adair has been president ever since and has continued the success of AIM.

Purpose
The purpose of AIM is to spread the knowledge of God and the Bible to others who may not know about him. Missions are what allow people to share religion and beliefs to people around the world. The purpose for the people who were put on earth is to fulfill what God has said in the bible-his mission statement. The motivation behind the purpose is that it is a job of every Christian to fulfill what God has stated. Many people do not know how to fulfills Gods calling; AIM is a pathway so that individuals can do their duty as Christians.
