We serve in several countries across the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, either directly through SIM offices or in partnership with others who share our heart to make Jesus known where He is least known.

Opportunities to serve in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia
Language and Culture Acquisition
We equip workers with Arabic language and cultural understanding to live, serve and witness among least-reached communities across the Arab world, in interdependence with the local church.
Serving at the Margins
We'd love to welcome those with a heart for sharing life with disadvantaged Middle Eastern communities and marginalised refugee/migrant communities. After initial investment in Arabic language study, there are a range of options for serving in partnership with local churches and ministries, contributing to educational, development, vocational training and discipleship programmes.
Hope for a Neglected Majority
Come and join us as we serve communities that have for too long been robbed of hope because of oppression, division and mismanagement. We're looking for flexible and resilient colleagues to serve - particularly in occupational therapy, special educational needs or associated professions, or in teaching English as a second language. Opportunities in other healthcare, development and professional roles could also be explored. As we serve, we bring hope to these neglected communities.
