Administrative history: Originally formed by two Mennonite conferences in the United States as The Congo Inland Mission, this organization became the Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission (AIMM) in 1972. Following the name change, the mission expanded into Lesotho (1973), Botswana (1975), Burkina Faso (1978) and the Transkei (1982). In 1984, the five partner groups were: Evangelical Mennonite Church, General Conference of Mennonites, Evangelical Mennonite Brethren, Evangelical Mennonite Conference of Canada and the Mennonite Brethren Church. In 2011, AIMM consisted of eight member conferences from North America, Europe and Africa.
