Reaching, Teaching and Discipling Youth

You can have an eternal impact among young people in a country with deep needs and in which nearly 50 per cent of the population are children. SIM Nigeria has opportunities for teacher trainers and mentors, support workers for teachers in rural schools, work with at-risk children, ESL teachers, and teachers for front-line mission worker children. We also need skllled tradespeople to help young people with vocational training, which can provide them with life skills and hope for the future and also great opportunities for evangelism and discipleship among those being trained. Likewise, those with a background in sports and coaching are needed to help reach and disciple youth through the international ministry of Sports Friends.

African Missions Mobilization Media

Launched in 2016, the 'A-magazines' are getting good reviews and have already produced many missions stories which serve the church in Africa and beyond. This ministry is highly strategic, with many people testifying that the A-magazines are an excellent one-stop shop to find missions work by Africans documented. The ministry has developed significantly since its inception and now has the AfriGO, Allons-y, Afritwende and Afri-Ide. This has given the ministry a very wide reception in the continent. We have open opportunities for writers, distrbutors and administrative staff.

Working with the Deaf and Hearing Impaired

Do you know sign language and have a heart for the deaf and hearing impaired? One of the largest unreached people groups in Bolivia is the deaf and hearing impaired community. Through our medical clinic in the city of Potosí, we have access to this community every day, but we long to be able to share the love of Jesus with them through teaching sign language, organising support groups, and caring for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our prayer is that the deaf and hearing impaired and their families in Potosí would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, learn Bolivian Sign Language, and have access to resources that will help them to flourish in all aspects of life. If you know sign language, would like to work with the deaf and hearing impaired, are a social worker, a psychologist, a counsellor, an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist or a plastic surgeon, we would love to have you join our team!

The Quechua in Peri-Urban Areas

Ministry to the Quechua once required travel to distant and difficult-to-access villages. But the urban population has exploded as rural Quechuas have moved to cities for opportunities afforded there. Churches in peri-urban areas where SIM workers minister need Bible teaching and help to reach their Quechua neighbours of all generations for Jesus Christ. Ministry opportunities include oral Bible teaching, social work to equip local churches to minister to challenges in their churches and communities and Sports Friends (See our Sports Friends entry for details). Community kids’ clubs, church-based children’s ministry, friendship evangelism, discipleship, mentoring and tutoring youth are ministry options. Are you compassionate, adventurous and can see yourself sharing your faith in Christ-in-life relationships? Join us in Bolivia!

Theological Education

The Bolivian church is following its call to mission near and far, and sending workers where the gospel is least known. To help meet the need for Bible formation, SIM Bolivia is seeking qualified seminary teachers who are passionate about discipling and equipping students to assume leadership in local churches, gospel ministries and for mission. Workers must demonstrate a willingness to learn a high level of Spanish, acquire cultural insight and be able to partner with local Bolivian leaders. There are opportunities in seminary and non-institutional training. Can you see yourself on a team of local and expat theologians investing in the next generation of Christian leaders in the global south? Join our team in Bolivia!

Medical Health Care

Potosí, a mining town more than 13,000 feet metres above sea level, is home to many vulnerable and at-risk families who face a variety of medical challenges. A lack of affordable, quality health care further complicates the high medical morbidity and mortality rates. Our team interacts with these families by providing medical care in an outpatient clinic, called Allinta Ruwana, and also works with local churches and their ministries. Our passion is to point people to the Great Physician as we serve as his hands and feet. We would love to invite you to join our team if you are a physician, nurse, physical therapist, counsellor or social worker who has a heart for sharing the hope of Christ with the most vulnerable. If this sounds like you, or something you might be interested in, please prayerfully consider joining us!

Carachipampa Christian School

As our motto “Educating for Eternity” states, Carachipampa Christian School strives to prepare students for life and eternity through a quality international education grounded in God’s word. We integrate faith, learning and living through a Biblical worldview. In addition to the academic programme, we want our students to know and understand the gospel, become disciples of Jesus, be impacted to live for him and continue to make other disciples. Our desire is to reach future potential leaders of Bolivia, impacting Bolivian society from the top down. To do that, we need trained English-speaking teachers who are passionate about their subject or grade level, sharing the gospel, making disciples, and ministering in a Spanish-speaking culture.
