Language and Culture Acquisition
We equip workers with Arabic language and cultural understanding to live, serve and witness among least-reached communities across the Arab world, in interdependence with the local church.
Serving at the Margins
We'd love to welcome those with a heart for sharing life with disadvantaged Middle Eastern communities and marginalised refugee/migrant communities. After initial investment in Arabic language study, there are a range of options for serving in partnership with local churches and ministries, contributing to educational, development, vocational training and discipleship programmes.
Serving Refugees and the Displaced
We'd love to welcome those with a heart for sharing life marginalised displaced, refugee and migrant communities in the Middle East. After initial investment in language study, there are a range of options for serving in partnership with local churches and ministries, contributing to educational, development, vocational training and discipleship programmes.
Reaching Migrant Workers
Using professional or international church platforms, we seek to build relationships with expatriates and migrant workers from least-reached countries in order to share love and truth, make disciples and equip/mobilise believers to be witnesses to their hosts, among compatriots and in their home countries. There are professional openings in a variety of areas, especially engineering, IT, teaching and healthcare – including hospital positions for physicians, nurses, midwives and more.
Serving our Hosts
Come and join us and other cross-cultural workers as we serve in professional capacities to impact this region and its people. Working in business or professional positions, we use our skills to contribute to our host countries, modelling integrity and good business practice, sensitively sharing love and truth with those we live and work alongside, and encouraging the local church. There are openings in a variety of areas, especially engineering, IT, teaching and healthcare – including hospital positions for physicians, nurses, midwives and more.
Reaching Young People
Come and join us to reach the children and young people of the Middle East! Nearly half the region’s population is 24 or younger, and we long to see this generation encounter Jesus, respond to his call and become effective members of his church and witnesses for him. We work mainly in urban contexts, serving with local Christians in church programmes, formal and informal education, youth and student work and through sport. There are opportunities for qualified teachers at both elementary and secondary level, teachers’ assistants, ESL teachers, youth workers and vocational trainers.
Hope for a Neglected Majority
Come and join us as we serve communities that have for too long been robbed of hope because of oppression, division and mismanagement. We're looking for flexible and resilient colleagues to serve - particularly in occupational therapy, special educational needs or associated professions, or in teaching English as a second language. Opportunities in other healthcare, development and professional roles could also be explored. As we serve, we bring hope to these neglected communities.
Lead and Serve the SIM Team
We are a growing multi-cultural team who long to see God’s kingdom grow in our region. We have good partnerships with other missions and churches in our area. We are working to see these relationships continue to grow for God’s glory. We are currently seeking a personnel coordinator and business administrator to work in finance and leadership, as well as a teacher to work in a homeschool co-op setting with mission children. Together, we seek to develop skills in member care and administration and would welcome those with giftings and interests in those areas. French is the language for most administrative roles. Learning an additional local language would permit you to form relationships with one of the unreached people groups in our region.
Theological education
Various Bible schools across the country and short courses and conferences
Sharing Life in Church and Community
We'd love to welcome those with a heart for sharing life with the peoples of the Middle East. For those willing to invest initially in Arabic language, there is a wide range of options for service - including church-based, ministry or NGO roles, theological education, teaching, community healthcare, sport and other professional roles. As we share life, we share His life - encouraging, learning from and serving with local believers.
