SIM France-Belgium

SIM France-Belgium exists to mobilise, recruit and send mission workers among unreached people to preach the gospel by meeting the people’s spiritual, emotional, relational and physical needs, regardless of their cultures and beliefs.

Key Ministries

  • Equipping the church.
  • Making disciples of Christ among refugees and international students.
  • Raising awareness and mobilising for cross-cultural mission.
  • Equipping global workers for ministry.
  • Sending global workers in collaboration with churches.

Spiritual Landscape in France-Belgium

France prides itself on having separated church and state and on being a secular country. This has led to conflict with some migrant and refugee communities. A dwindling number of people attend church and the evangelical Christian community is very small. 

Communities Where Christ is Least Known

International students

There are 400.000 international students in France, of whom almost 100.000 come from a Muslim country. Our workers collaborate with French evangelical organisations and churches that do outreach and discipleship with those students.

Refugees

In 2022, nearly 131.000 applications were submitted by foreign refugees to get asylum protection. The main origin is Afghanistan, but many other countries are represented, such as Bangladesh, Turkey, and DR Congo. Our workers collaborate with French evangelical organisations and churches that do outreach through literacy, administrative help, and discipleship with the refugees.

  • For good partnerships with churches to mobilise and send global workers
  • For God’s provision for the workers and the ministries they are involved in
