Community Services
SIM seeks to meet the needs of the communities it serves in. This opens doors to share the love of Jesus Christ with others. ODD (Open Door Development) started in 2012 to equip the Church to do community services. Seven years later, the village is equipped with running water, road repairs are frequently organized with the help of local churches and villagers, and an agricultural school tests new ways to have a more efficient way of using resources to grow plants.
You can learn more about who they are, what their goal is, and how they want to achieve it by visiting their website: http://www.opendoordevelopment.org/ or visit their Facebook page : Open Door Development

Prayers
Please pray for the Living Water shallow well drilling initiative. ODD wants to take its experience over the last seven years with a single drilling team and expand to 30+ teams in the region. Please pray for the advancement of the technical aspects of drilling and for good community partners. Please pray that the Living Water Initiative will provide many opportunities to share the gospel across religious and cultural lines.
Please pray for the Fencing Micro-credit programme. ODD is fabricating its own fencing and plans on offering fencing for gardens and fields. Good fences allow for fields to be protected, soil to be improved and crops to be planted earlier which increases production and improves food security.

Mobilising leaders to engage in missions
SIM teams across Southeast Asia relate with local churches and church leaders, and plant new churches where there are none. God is calling us to further mobilise leaders in each country to join in reaching those still living and dying without Christ. Our leader mobilisation ministry has five goals:
- To widen networks and deepen relationship with Christian leaders in the region.
- To engage and equip Christian leaders in how they can raise resources in their contexts and countries.
- To encourage leadership and management training for local leaders, so that they come to know the Purpose and Vision of SIM, which is to share Christ's love in communities where He is least known.
- To raise all types of capital, including intellectual, social, human, and financial capital.
- To raise awareness among local leaders that engagement is long-term. Perseverance and patience are essential for sustainability.

Orphan and Vulnerable Children Ministry
The aim of our ministry is to love and support vulnerable children and their caregivers by meeting their educational, physical and psychosocial needs. We reach children who have been made vulnerable by the HIV and AIDS pandemic, whose parents are sick, or who are orphans. One of our priorities is to keep children in school, so we assist with school fees, writing materials and uniforms. We also provide food packs and seeds to grow crops to those who live alone. In all we do, we are always making Christ known to these children and their caregivers.
To sustain the work and involve the local church, we also train church volunteers to meet the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the children in their communities. We assist with funding to launch and maintain income-generating activities. This supports their families and the ministry. Our primary desire is to show the love of God to the children and teach them to live God-fearing, flourshing lives.
