South Asia

Serving across South Asia, we partner with local churches and organisations to make Jesus known in communities where He is least known.

We serve in several countries across South Asia, either directly through SIM offices or in partnership with others who share our heart to make Jesus known where He is least known.

To protect our workers, we do not display all the countries we serve in. If you’re interested in serving in any part of this huge region, we’d love to hear from you.

Opportunities to serve in South Asia

Transforming cities through business

SOUTH ASIA| Any

Entrepreneurs, professionals, educators, students, artists, tradespeople ... use your skills as part of our diverse team building friendships, blessing communities and sharing the good news. We are praying for experienced businesspeople willing to model good business practice and mentor others from around the world in running missional businesses. We are excited to have a growing family of enthusiastic entrepreneurs from around the world, starting up businesses to bless communities across the megacities where God is opening doors. Come and join us — together we live as salt and light in the apartment blocks, streets, parks, workplaces, schools and universities of South Asia.

Equipping the persecuted church for mission

SOUTH ASIA| Any

Our team has long-term experience and relationships living, serving among and worshipping with the persecuted church in Asia. In urban megacities and rural village ministry, we are helping to train the next generation of church planters, evangelists and mission workers. We need youth ministers willing to work with college students and those who've never learned to read or write; Bible teachers for grassroots first-generation students, and seminary professors for the Master's and Bachelor's levels; women's workers for domestic abuse shelters, and for vibrant local church ministries. We'd love you to join us!

Multi-skilled church planting team

SOUTH ASIA| Any

Come and join our multi-skilled church planting team in rural South Asia through education, literacy, evangelism, Bible-teaching, and health ministry. We are looking for disciple-makers and people to help gather believers into churches; for vets, agriculturalists, and those who can train teachers; for project managers and pioneer evangelists who can work humbly alongside local brothers and sisters. We invite you to be a part of this exciting and long-term work as we join with God in his mission.
