We serve in most countries of West 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.

Opportunities to serve in West Africa
Mali Admin Services
This ministry covers the administrative duties relating to SIM Mali personnel, including supported mission workers and staff employed by SIM Mali. We are looking for gifted office administrators, perhaps with personnel or HR experience, to join our team.
Next Generation
We long for all the children and young people in Benin to have a personal encounter with Jesus. Given at least 40 per cent of the population is under 14, this is no easy task! We are looking for outgoing, French-speaking people who love young people and are willing to work alongside the local church and para-church organisations so that more of Benin’s next generation might hear the truths of the Bible. We need people to help equip and encourage leaders to run children’s clubs, people to use sport as a platform to build relationships and share gospel hope, and people to invest in the lives of university students. Another vital need is school teachers to help grow and encourage a biblical worldview of education.
Mobilisation for Mission
Serving with like-minded organisations and churches in Ghana, which share the vision to see the Ghanaian church sending out workers into cross-cultural ministry. Our mobilisation teams will work to ignite a passion within the churches for the millions across the globe who have little witness to Christ. Through a deeper understanding of God’s word and greater knowledge of the peoples of his world, our prayer is that many will respond to the heart call of God to take the good news of Jesus to places where he is least known.
