Children with Special Needs

There are many children with special needs in Bolivia, including ADHD, autism and Down's Syndrome. Unfortunately, these children and their families face additional challenges because they are often marginalised and under-served. We are reaching out to them with the love of Jesus, showing them how special they are in his eyes and helping these children and their families thrive. Talk to us to find out how you could help. We organise support groups caring for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and hold workshops for parents and teachers of special needs children. Do you have a heart for children with special needs? We are looking for psychologists and therapists, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists/therapists. Come be a part of our multi-disciplinary team bringing hope to families of children with special needs. Empower a child’s life!

Children At Risk Network

Despite the many ongoing efforts by many organizations and individuals to respond to needs of vulnerable children and families, there is not much to show. Many of the ministries responding to these needs are lacking in best practices and therefore not very effective or efficient. Many are working in isolation struggling to find resources to do the work. Greater unity, sensitization, equipping, networking, collaboration and coordination among organizations working with vulnerable families is required if there is to be any improvement. The government is aware that even dedicated Christian projects are not better and they are also doing unstructured and inexperienced work. Though very keen to grow and progress they may not have access to training and resources. Children at Risk Network walks alongside these other groups to help transform the situation by developing their capacity to effectively and efficiently love, care for, protect and disciple children. As a wise person said, a strong desire to make change must be coupled with the capacity to make that change. Many faith organizations are well aware that it is not enough to just have a big heart to serve, but individuals, churches and Christian organizations must also invest time and resources in developing their capacity to do ministry using best practices. We are convinced that the church should be in the forefront in responding to issues affecting their communities. However, Christians are often seen as having a good heart but being oblivious to society’s needs. If the work of the Church is leading the way to lasting change for children and the community at large, it will be respected. The Church was not previously equipped to deal with social issues. Through training and sensitization efforts by SIM Kenya Children at Risk Network, the past perceptions and attitudes of pastors are changing, and they now desire to be equipped to deal with spiritual and professional issues to be included in the common agenda with the government and other agencies to obtain support and reduce any sense of isolation that is usually felt. Healthy relationships and cross-pollination with other SIM Kenya ministries have been borne much fruit and many children have been impacted positively. We are taking advantage of these relationships to enhance our ministry efforts. UNICEF Statistics of Young People connected to Streets and trafficking 100 million globally, 360000+ in Kenya. Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu are preferred by vulnerable children as easy life opportunity host hubs, hence young people engage in street connection and young people trafficking is very high.

Equipping churches and leaders in Paraguay's interior communities

We welcome flexible, relational, team-oriented workers into this crucial ministry. This team is currently focused on the shepherding of rural church leaders and the development of a Paraguayan Bible camp. We would be eager to leverage other means of equipping churches as well, such as sports ministries and young adult (university age) ministries. In this role, you would be working within the vision of the SIM Paraguay team, but with the flexibility to work out that vision in the relationships and opportunities God will graciously give you.

Formal and Non-Formal Theological Education

Could you help train pastors and other church leaders to give them a sound understanding of Biblical truth? There are many churches and congregations with pastors, lay preachers and church workers who have not had the opportunity and privilege of either studying at a Bible College or undertaking a distance-learning course. Biblically-based theological and leadership training is therefore a priority area for strengthening the church across South Africa. The ministry seeks to serve men and women in leadership roles within evangelical churches in South Africa, including pastors and people leading ministries within a church, with the objective of strengthening church leadership and equipping leaders to train others through what they have learned.

Outreach to Paraguay's Interior Communities

We are a group of missionaries with a passion to reach the towns and villages that have no access to a local church and/or have no believers in their community. We welcome missionaries with a heart to plant churches through relationship building, starting Bible studies in rural communities, and a strong calling to live in a remote area and participate in a local community of subsistence farmers, local shop owners, and schoolteachers. You can use your trade, your skills, and your hobbies as a door to sharing the gospel. In this role, you would be working within the vision of our ministry team, but with the flexibility to work out that vision in the relationships and opportunities God will graciously give you.

Paraguay First Nations Partnerships

We are looking for people who are willing to work alongside indigenous believers, growing, equipping, and encouraging them to reach out to their people. This work would include doing Bible lessons/teaching in Guarani and requires an adventurous spirit in people willing to travel off the beaten path. Furthermore, the mission worker must be able to ask the question, "How can I help meet some needs, without enabling, or causing dependency?" While almost all trades and professions would be helpful, we would love to welcome doctors or nurses to this ministry.

Next Generation

We long for all the children and young people in Benin to have a personal encounter with Jesus. Given at least 40 per cent of the population is under 14, this is no easy task! We are looking for outgoing, French-speaking people who love young people and are willing to work alongside the local church and para-church organisations so that more of Benin’s next generation might hear the truths of the Bible. We need people to help equip and encourage leaders to run children’s clubs, people to use sport as a platform to build relationships and share gospel hope, and people to invest in the lives of university students. Another vital need is school teachers to help grow and encourage a biblical worldview of education.
