Key Ministries
English teaching
SIM runs a centre that attracts around 120 students, most of whom have never heard the Christian message. Alongside high-quality English instruction, students are invited to engage with the gospel through conversations, events and study groups.
Training centre
Through a vocational training centre, SIM equips local people with practical skills and qualifications to help them start businesses or gain employment. The centre also serves as a platform for sharing the good news of Jesus in both word and deed.
Health ministries
SIM partners with various Christian clinics to provide compassionate medical care. These ministries demonstrate Christ’s love and offer spiritual hope to patients and their families.
Media ministries
SIM develops digital tools and resources to reach Senegalese people through social media platforms and radio programmes. This includes creating Scripture content in local languages and producing culturally relevant gospel media.
MK education
SIM supports local Christian schools to ensure that mission families have access to quality education for their children, enabling them to thrive academically, spiritually and socially.
Ministry to Street Boys and village children
SIM works with others to bring practical help to those on the streets, and the message of the Bible. SIM also works in a village to support their own education initiatives.
SIM is committed to making the good news known in different, culturally-appropriate ways.
Engineering Ministries
SIM supports an International Christian engineering business, which seeks to help Christian churches and organisations with their building projects.
Spiritual Landscape in Senegal
Senegal is a predominantly Muslim country, with approximately 95 per cent of the population identifying as Muslim. Despite this, the nation maintains a secular constitution and allows freedom of religion.
There is a small but active evangelical Christian community, alongside a more established Catholic presence. While the overall number of Christians remains low, the church continues to witness with faith and resilience in a largely Islamic cultural context.
Please pray
- For partnerships with local believers to create captivating evangelistic resources for Senegalese internet users
- For capacity to follow up with those who respond to online content
- For opportunities to share Christ through teaching, training and medical ministries
- For faithful teaching of both adults and youth in local churches, particularly in Wolof
- For wisdom as SIM works with young people and children from a variety of backgrounds and needs
- For more long-term workers, especially for the youth training and English teaching centre
