2. The Greatest Needs of All Human Kind: The greatest need for all human kind is forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. (Rom 5:1-11, 3:21-26; John 4:13-14, 6:22-40; John 14:6; Eph 1:7, 2:1-10)
3. Living to Love: The greatest command is to love God, and to love others as ourselves - just as Jesus loves us. (1 Corinthians 13; Matthew 22:37-40)
4. Jesus Is Our Example for Living: The greatest command is to love God, and to love others as ourselves - just as Jesus loves us. (1 Corinthians 13; Matthew 22:37-40)

Response from ministry
The ECFA Membership cost is not the best use of our ministry resources.
AIM does not agree with the scoring that is heavily weighted by ECFA membership. We believe our resources are better utilized directly within our mission to rescue, heal, and empower survivors. For a comprehensive review of AIM's impact and transparency, please visit our Charity Navigator profile: https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/943100052

History
When our founders Don and Bridget Brewster heard that little children were being sold for sex every night, they did not turn their backs. They moved to Cambodia to help fight for freedom and stand up for the oppressed. Visit aimfree.org to watch a video of their story.
Program accomplishments
While it feels impossible to measure the impact of the last two decades, a glimpse shows us: 2,200 individuals have been rescued from trafficking and exploitation through AIM SWAT operations; 600 traffickers and abusers have been arrested, resulting in over 1,700 years of prison time; 1,100 survivors have found healing and holistic care in our restoration homes; 300+ women have been trained and empowered with job skills; and 340+ people have been baptized- a powerful sign that the Gospel is not just reaching hearts, but transforming lives and entire communities.
