We serve in most countries of West Africa, either directly through SIM offices or in partnership with others who share our heart to make Jesus known where He is least known.
We’re passionate about seeing lives transformed by the gospel and people equipped to live as faithful disciples of Jesus. If you’re interested in serving in this region, we’d love to hear from you.

Opportunities to serve in West Africa
Ministering to Society’s Vulnerable and Marginalised
SIM Nigeria has an array of opportunities for you to use your gifts to minister to marginalised and vulnerable groups including street children, widows, orphans, those with disabilities, and the lost. These people are in communities where they are often marginalised, vulnerable, uncared for and without help. Talk to us to find out more. We are looking for educational consultants, medical consultants, vocational trainers, social workers, business consultants, agricultural and animal husbandry consultants, counselors, trauma healers, and community workers to reach people with Christ's love that transforms lives and holistically meets the very real needs of hurting people.
Serving and Equipping the Church
Are you interested or skilled in supporting a growing church through theological education, training and mentoring, member care, institutional support services or resourcing, student ministry, church planting or extension? We have a range of opportunities to work hand-in-hand with local believers to respond to the needs and opportunities of the local church in Nigeria.
Senegal Media Ministries
Partnering with other mission agencies and local believers, we create online ads that link to a website where those who are interested are able to read the Scriptures, download local-language Bible apps, watch local-language films with Christian content, and request face-to-face meetings with a local believer to talk more about Jesus and the Christian faith. Through online messaging and discernment of spiritual interest, we connect seekers with disciplers near them.
