Southern Africa

Our multi-cultural teams serve throughout the region and have workers from all over the world, all engaged in reaching communities with the good news of Jesus Christ.

We serve in most countries of Southern Africa, 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.  If you’re interested in serving in this region, we’d love to hear from you.
