We serve in several countries of Europe, either directly through SIM offices or in partnership with others who share our heart to make Jesus known where He is least known.
We serve in the countries listed below, and in some that are not shown here. If you’re interested in serving in any part of Europe, we’d love to hear from you.

Opportunities to serve in Europe
Church-based partnership ministry in Czechia
The Czech Republic is a beautiful country in the heart of Central Europe. Despite a rich history of Christianity, it is currently one of the most gospel-poor countries in Europe, with atheism and eastern religions both on the upswing. Evangelical Christians represent less than one per cent of the population, and we have only two growing evangelical denominations. Czech people are welcome and open, however, and there is the freedom to share the gospel of Jesus, with many opportunities to serve. You can join a church-based partnership ministry and serve in many creative ways to kids, youths, young adults, seniors, people with addiction, socially disadvantaged people, and more.
SIM Czechia Regional Office Leadership and Services
A regional office based in Czechia, we facilitate the mobilisation, sending, and receiving of workers for Central and Eastern Europe. We also provide services for the Central Asian region for legal reasons. We are a growing multi-ethnic, multi-lingual team speaking primarily Czech, English, Slovak, Polish and Russian. Our goal is to develop the capacity to send and support 50-100 workers by 2027.
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?
