Translation and Literacy

This ministry aims to grow and mature the church in Benin through Bible translation (Roman and Ajami script), the production of Christian literature and literacy training so that people can read and study Scripture materials in their heart languages and be equipped to share the gospel with others. Opportunities exist to promote the use of literature, literacy and the development of audio or other media resources. Benin is a linguistically diverse country with more than 50 different ethnic groups.

Healthcare ministries

Far more people pass through the doors of clinics and hospitals each day than the doors of churches. Come and use your healthcare skills in this mainly Muslim context and see lives impacted as you offer compassionate, holistic care in Christ's name. Our patients are usually open to prayer and there are opportunities to share gospel truths in response to their needs. We are also looking for those who can help local staff with professional development.

We long to see a Christ-centred, contextual church planted among an influential, but gospel-resistant, people group in West Africa. A small team is already in place, involved in business activities, Bible translation, literacy and radio evangelism. A key strategy is equipping and working alongside an established national church. A variety of opportunities exist to express the truth and compassion of Jesus Christ to this unreached people group.

Engaging believers in Missional Discipleship

By faith, we see our local churches growing and equipped for mission in our region and beyond. Help us disciple and train believers to participate in cross-cultural mission, to overcome language and religious barriers, and to share Christ with neighbours from the majority religion. Serve alongside local believers in university, youth or children’s ministry; mentor Christian leaders and businesspeople as they seek to follow Christ in their context; or join with our audio ministry in producing Christian teaching. We also invite you to serve and equip church members in the community through small business training, teacher training and community health services. Learning French and a local language allow you to engage effectively with the church community and one of the main unreached people groups in the area.

Lead and Serve the SIM Team

Learning an additional local language would permit you to form relationships with one of the unreached people groups in our region.

Discipling New Believers

We long to see a Christ-centred, contextualised church planted among an influential, but gospel-resistant, people group in West Africa.

A key strategy is to support and nurture new believers, many of whom face persecution. A variety of practical and word-based opportunities exist to disciple and train new believers for Christian life and service.

Sowing seeds of the Kingdom in a rural town

Do you want to serve in a vibrant yet challenging context, building relationships in order to share the love of Jesus with those who don't yet know Him? We are working in a very unreached area where few know Jesus as their Saviour and King. Nevertheless, the people here are quite friendly and hospitable, interested in discussing all kinds of topics including spiritual matters. Our team emphasizes full time language learning for the first year of service. We seek out opportunities to boldly and lovingly share about Jesus with our local friends. We strive to show tangible love in His name - including through a public health water project, teaching English classes and other less formal means. Our team's commitment is to obey Jesus' great commission and great commandment, pray for those we minister to, and then leave the results in His hands! Will you join us on this journey?

Mining Families

In Potosí, a city which stands at 13,000 feet above sea level, mining is one of the major industries. Those who go down the mines enter one of the darkest places on earth, physically and spiritually. We want to let them know that even where the sun cannot reach them, they are still within the reach of God’s love. Our desire is that they may know the power of the gospel and that their lives would be filled with the hope of the Lord of heaven and earth. There are many opportunities to reach out to this community! If you are a pastor, a social worker, a teacher, a medic, a sports coach, a safety officer, an engineer, a miner, an emergency medical technician, a paramedic, a fire fighter, a sustainability/community development specialist, or someone who has a heart for children, consider joining our team to let God’s light shine!

The Shoe Shiners of La Paz

Kayuparu means 'at his feet', and is a ministry that is reaching out to the masked shoe shiners of La Paz. The shiners hide their faces behind masks because there is a strong sense of shame associated with being a shiner. In the eyes of society, they are invisible and insignificant. A lot of them are students who need the work to pay for their tuition, others are facing economic hardships. Our desire is for them to realise they are not insignificant and invisible in the eyes of God, and that they find hope in Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Join our team to reach out to the shoe shiners and their families!

Training Bolivian Church Planters

God is raising Bolivians with a clarion call for church planting and mission in Bolivia’s capital city, La Paz However, it is a challenge for them to find training and support from their local churches. The SIM La Paz team longs for God to establish a coalition of Bolivian churches which is biblically and financially committed to planting gospel-focused, disciple-making, missional churches. For this reason, we are providing training for church planters and their wives, as well as training for churches to ignite missional, life-on-life discipleship movements in their congregations so they can send out mature and equipped believers who are passionate about declaring and demonstrating the gospel, whether across the street or around the world. The SIM La Paz team needs discipleship and church-planting trainers and a person to mobilise churches and individual believers toward missional living and giving.

Sports Friends Bolivia

Sport is a great way to make connections with active youth. Since more than 50 per cent of the Bolivian population is under 25, sport provides a great opportunity to build relationships with them. We are equipping local churches and church planters to use sport to make disciples of Jesus Christ among young people, their families, and their communities where Christ is least known. We’d love you to join our team! A passion for sport is a plus, but what we need more than anything are people with a heart for children and for equipping the church for mission.
