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.
