We serve in most East and Central African countries, either directly through SIM offices or in partnership with others who share our heart to make Jesus known where He is least known.
We’re passionate about seeing lives transformed by the gospel and people equipped to live as faithful disciples of Jesus. We serve in the countries listed below, and in some that are not shown here. If you’re interested in a country not listed, we’d love to hear from you.

Opportunities to serve in East and Central Africa
Eritrean Diaspora Ministries
Diaspora KHCE focuses on the aim or goal to make every member disciple of Christ, empower them to raise disciples in the countries of their residence and become media missionaries through Selamna Radio and TV ministry and making financial contributions towards the unreached people groups in Eritrea. Our ministry focuses on disciple-making, raising disciples who shall make disciples; reaching out to the unreached using Discovery Bible Study; and planting Christ-centred churches.
Missional African Healthcare Professionals
We have been called to be a part of three main communities: vulnerable and/or very-low-income communities; young healthcare professionals; and Muslim communities. Living as a part of these communities, we see ourselves and others shaped to become Christ-focused, kingdom-motivated believers providing healthcare and healthcare training for the vulnerable communities across East Africa, demonstrating the love and holistic healing power of Jesus Christ in our lives.
Banda Health
The Banda Health team brings hope to families living in slums and villages by empowering the clinics who care for them. Technology and relationships are our tools. We are looking for developers, data scientists, operations specialists, and business professionals motivated by the love of God to join us!
