Chili
Compelled by God's great love, we want to see churches with trained leaders, making disciples and expressing the love and compassion of Christ in communities where he is least known. Our motivation is to see the Church in Chile increasingly sharing the good news, mobilising and sending servants to those living and dying without Christ inside and outside of Chile.

Communities where Christ is least known
The Chilean evangelical church is part of a growing worldwide missions movement. Our focus is to come alongside the Church to make disciples and develop leaders, enabling the Church to effectively send and support missionaries.
Through ProVisión, a Chilean agency with whom SIM partners, Chilean missionaries are serving inter-culturally – 50 per cent amongst Muslim groups, 30 per cent in Europe, East Asia and Africa and 20 per cent within Latin America. ProVisión is empowering the Chilean Church to grow in its ability and commitment to provide sustained care and faithful financial and prayer support for missionaries, resulting in thriving missionaries with fruitful ministries. God is continuing to call people of all ages to prepare theologically and professionally to serve where Christ is least known.
