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.
Reaching Young People
Come and join us to reach the children and young people of the Middle East! Nearly half the region’s population is 24 or younger, and we long to see this generation encounter Jesus, respond to his call and become effective members of his church and witnesses for him. We work mainly in urban contexts, serving with local Christians in church programmes, formal and informal education, youth and student work and through sport. There are opportunities for qualified teachers at both elementary and secondary level, teachers’ assistants, ESL teachers, youth workers and vocational trainers.
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.
