Two ordinations in one day at the same service is rare enough, but the service was in three languages: English, Spanish, and Kinyarwanda. This incredible moment shows us the mighty deeds God can do when working with every tongue, every tribe, in every nation, all within our neighborhoods!

AIM exists with a vision to launch 10 new Lutheran Word & Sacrament ministries in the next 10 years in non-Anglo and English speaking contexts. While ministries like these have been growing in the Houston and DFW areas, this is still relatively new.

Several churches and leaders have started to work together to realize what a great need and opportunity for a gospel-proclaiming movement like this exists in Central Texas. AIM was launched in July 2025 with the goal of 10 new Word and Sacrament proclaiming ministries being launched in the next 10 years.  

In our work to start at least 10 new Word and Sacrament missions and church plants in the greater Austin area, we want to keep our core values front and center, which keep us focused on this work.
