There are many opportunities across Australia for Second Wind applicants to spend time at AIM centres to help lay a foundation for a sound Indigenous Church.

It is a facilitator enabling the church to send missionaries to serve God in other places. Right from the earliest days, the Society has been made up of laity and clergy on equal footing. CMS is an evangelical society in that it was established by evangelicals. It continues as such by seeking members among evangelicals. They in turn seek to pursue a gospel-centred obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ and to express that obedience by doing all in their power to bring that gospel to those who 'do not know Christ and have not heard his name'.
