Alafia - Hope for Life

Come alongside people living with HIV and their families in Benin as we seek to share about Hope for Life. We have a small but experienced team involved in medical treatment, providing holistic care and mentoring local volunteers. Our hope is that people living with HIV might experience new life in Christ, good physical health and healthy relationships free from stigma. Do you have skills in community development or youth work? We need people to encourage and grow local support groups and expand a teaching programme for young men and women. Children and youth workers, ideally French speaking, are also needed to help with holiday programmes.

Growing Church Leaders

Working in partnership with a SIM-related church, this ministry aims to see a growing network of trained pastors and ministry workers who know and humbly work to apply the word of God and are equipped to lead all believers into maturity and multiplication. Short or long-term opportunities exist for French-speaking teachers experienced in delivering theological education or specialist workshops in a variety of contexts. Trained librarians or accountants could also fill support roles, helping to upskill church leaders or strengthen Bible School administration.

Discipling New Believers

We long to see a Christ-centred, contextualised church planted among an influential, but gospel-resistant people group in West Africa. Working in partnership with local believers, a small team is already involved in outreach activities and establishing a rural discipleship and agriculture training centre. 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.

Digo Outreach Network

The Digo are the second largest Muslim Unreached People Group in Kenya. Although the Bible has been translated into Chidigo the impact of the gospel on this community of 460,000 along the south Kenya coast has been minimal. SIM Kenya is committed to seeing a change of this sad state and has already started to form a small team that is working towards an effective strategy to reach them.
