Hi, my name is Riley Bidwell. I am 18 years old and am from Olympia, Washington. I am currently attending Corban University in Salem, Oregon majoring in business. Some of my hobbies are playing sports, 4 wheeling, wake boarding, flying (I am about half way done with my private pilots license and hope to finish it in the coming year.), hanging out with friends, scuba diving, traveling, and computers.

       My two favorite brands are Jeep and Apple. I have a Jeep Wrangler and love the freedom of going anywhere on or off road! My friend and I program Iphone applications for Apple and currently have about 65 for sale in the Apple App store.

       I have been on a few missions trips but never with AIM so I am very excited. In 2007 I went to Costa Rica for 6 weeks on a soccer missions trip. We would play soccer to gather crowds, do a skit at half time and then go out after the games and witness to the people watching. I really enjoyed being able to share God’s love to people and feel that God has now called me to this missions trip to witness to the people in Uganda.

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and am excited to see how God will use me as well as our team in Uganda to serve is purpose!
