Brian and Patty Arensen have served with AIM for over 35 years in Africa.  For the past ten years they served in Nairobi where Brian worked in the AIM Eastern Region office as the regional administrative officer.

In the summer of 2017 they returned to Minneapolis Minnesota to accompany their daughter, Kerith, who is enrolled in a two-year college program for special-needs young adults at Bethany Global University in Minneapolis.  

AIM has loaned Brian to Bethany Gateways which is an interdenominational mission with similar goals and vision to AIM.  Brian will be working with their personnel department in the home office in Minneapolis.  Patty will continue to use her passion for quilting and inductive Bible study as God opens up doors for ministry and outreach.  Although temporarily based in Minnesota, they continue to rely on support through AIM for their financial needs.
