SIM and its partner churches are committed to working in a way which will impact the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the people we serve.

SIM needs people with a passion for evangelism — this is at the heart of the Church and at the heart of SIM. SIM is committed to developing relationships, sharing the gospel and planting churches where there is no church.

We need people with a heart for the unreached, who are equipped to help others grow in their faith. More...

God’s Word speaks into every culture, and the Church needs men and women who understand the Bible and can open it up to those around them.

Local churches need leaders whose lives are shaped by scriptural principles. That’s why SIM is committed to discipling believers and why we send people to teach in seminaries, Bible schools, and Theological Education by Extension (TEE) programmes run by our partner churches. More...

Part of SIM’s vision is to empower churches to achieve their missionary potential, and to equip them to fulfil Christ’s commission.

SIM seeks to be a catalyst, working in partnership with churches around the world to encourage and motivate them to catch and fulfil a missionary vision. More . . .

How important is it to you to be able to read the Bible in your own language? Why not join a team working with local Christians seeking to offer people the joy and freedom of being able to read and study the Bible in their mother tongue?

SIM is dedicated to helping people understand the message of the Bible through linguistics, Bible translation, and literacy programmes. More...

Health-care & HIV/AIDS

Poor health-care is often the result of poverty. If you have medical training, your skills may be the way in which you can show the compassion and love of Christ in a very practical way.

Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals work in front-line care, primary health-care and preventative education. All are committed to pass on their skills to local colleagues.

Under the umbrella ‘Windows of HOPE’, SIM is responding with love and compassion to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, providing care as well as education. More...

Children’s work

As a mission, SIM is concerned for children in the context of families, churches and communities. Often young people are the most spiritually receptive in the community.

Working with them, through homework clubs, feeding programmes and outreach to street children, can build a strong foundation for a church-planting and discipling ministry. More...

Community development

Do you feel challenged to do something when you see news reports and documentaries about poverty, exploitation and famine in developing countries?

Working with SIM in Relief and Development could be the way God is calling you to respond. For SIM, the ultimate evidence of development is seeing people reconciled to God.

For Christians living in a broken world, development also means meeting the physical needs of suffering or disadvantaged people in the name of Christ. More...

Practical skills

Carpenter? Electrician? Plumber? Ever thought of offering your expertise in mission? These skills are vital and can make a significant difference to projects and to practical needs on the mission field.

You could help to reroof mission housing, oversee construction of dormitories in a school, put in wiring for a home office training centre . . . and demonstrate God’s love in a very practical way.  More...

Professional skills

Have you ever thought you could use your professional skills to get involved in mission? Those skills may be the way God uses to take you to a country where people are hungry for Bible knowledge, perhaps where you could not live as a missionary.

Professionals earn the right to share their faith as they work hard and with integrity, and show love to those they meet.

Education

If you’re passionate about teaching children and sharing the gospel with them, then SIM has a place for you in education.

SIM teachers provide education for missionary and expatriate families, as well as children from the local community, in many parts of the world where education is at a premium.

Teaching English as a second language is a great way to impact lives for good and for God.  More...
