Ministry Associates

AIIA Ministry Associates are informally affiliated with AIIA in a mutually beneficial alliance for purposes of consultation, reference, ministry, and other advantages of the sort.

Though they are not salaried staff, AIIA is at times able to coordinate plans involving the services of our Ministry Associates. Otherwise, they may be contacted directly and would stipulate terms of their own.

AIIA is itself able to arrange for, or present, seminars, services, or a series of study in your local church or for your ministry group — drawing from its own staff, its Ministry Associates, other qualified speakers, drama teams, and experienced or willing participants.
