A Jesus Mission is Formed
With the intention of supporting music ministries and unconventional forms of missions, AJM was born. For our first years we primarily served to support and care for bands devoted to equipping the found and finding the lost.
First Missionaries Sent
As music ministry began to slow down, we sent our first long-term missionaries to the Dominican Republic and to Mexico. In doing so, we discovered our passion and ultimate calling to become a missionary sending and care organization that now serves across 19 countries.

Response to the Ukraine Crisis
One week after Russia invaded Ukraine, AJM sent a team to the warzone to deliver critical aid to those suffering on the frontlines. We've delivered millions of pounds of food, countless tons of water, medicines, and much more. Two years later, our team lives on the frontlines and continues to serve through providing resources and emergency evacuations.
Launched the House Church Support Network
After planting several house churches throughout the years, we are ordaining our first pastors and launching a network to facilitate and foster healthy Gospel-centric house churches which live out our shared vision to equip the found, find the lost, and unite the mission.
…ULTIMATE AUTHORITY OVER THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER. It is the inerrant word of God, transcribed by man through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The totality of the Gospel is to be used as the final authority in knowing the nature and commandments of God, so that the believer may be equipped to do the will of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4)
…being God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who exists eternally as one being. (Colossians 1:16-18, Deuteronomy 6:4)
He lived a sinless life. He died on a cross to pay the penalty for sin which separated humankind from God and rose to life on the third day. He ascended into heaven where he intercedes on behalf of the believer. Jesus was the turning point in humanity, giving us the opportunity to have a restored relationship with the Creator. Jesus came with a mission, to seek and save the lost. (We GO on a Jesus Mission to equip the found and find the lost.) (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 19)
…drawing them into right relationship with God. He convicts the world of sin and equips the believer to know God and grow in spiritual maturity and guides them in truth. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are actively working in the lives of believers today, empowering us to go on a Jesus mission. (1 Corinthians 12-14, John 16, Acts 1:8)
As a result of the fall of man, our relationship with the Creator was damaged. All are born sinful, deserving of eternal punishment. No one is innocent. Humanity is in need of restoration with God. (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23)
We must only believe in Jesus and confess our sins to receive salvation. All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved by grace, through faith because of the finished work on the cross. It is through a restored relationship with God, through Jesus, by the confession of our need for Him that we can spend eternity with Him. The good works we do cannot earn our salvation, but instead should be a response to the grace of God. (Romans 10:9, Romans 3:23-26)
We believe that mankind was created by God, in the image of God, and for relationship with God. Humans are temporal in our flesh, but eternal in existence. We believe that life begins at conception and that God foreknew each of us before we were formed in our mother’s womb. As created humans, the creator’s original design for marriage has been clearly defined for us in the Bible. Both marriage and sexual relationships are to be between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:7, 18-25; Psalm 139:13-16; Matthew 19:3-6)
…is a vital part of God’s plan for both salvation of the sinner and sanctification of the believer. Through both the local and the global church, believers can grow together in spiritual maturity, to teach the word of God throughout the nations, and to exercise spiritual gifts for the glory of God. Wherever possible, believers should be both engaged in a local church and actively engaged in the mission of Christ. (Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:23-25, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Romans 12:4-13)
