This ministry aims to grow and mature the church in Benin through Bible translation (Roman and Ajami script), the production of Christian literature and literacy training so that people can read and study Scripture materials in their heart languages and be equipped to share the gospel with others. Opportunities exist to promote the use of literature, literacy and the development of audio or other media resources. Benin is a linguistically diverse country with more than 50 different ethnic groups.

Muslim Outreach

We long to see a Christ-centred, contextual church planted among an influential, but gospel-resistant, people group in West Africa. A small team is already in place, involved in business, Bible translation, literacy and radio evangelism. A key strategy is equipping and working alongside an established national church. A variety of opportunities exist to express the truth and compassion of Jesus Christ to this unreached people group.

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.

Mayotte ministries

Mayotte is a very unique region of France. The native population is close to 100 per cent Muslim and, while more than 70 per cent of the local people speak fluent French as a second language, the first languages are Shimaore and the lesser spoken Kibushi. Around 50 per cent of the population is made up of illegal immigrants from the Comoros, who are also Muslim. SIM workers use business and their professions to become accepted members of the community, build relationships and eventually share the gospel in private settings. For now, SIM's workers are focussing on the native population in the south of the main island. Could you use your business or professional skills to join this team?
