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

Transformational Christian Discipleship and Leadership
We seek to help Malian believers grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ, to obey him practically, and to be involved in making him known to unreached Malians. Talk to us to find out how you could serve. We have opportunities to serve in many capacities with the Malian church.
Discipling New Believers
We long to see the church take root and flourish among an influential, yet gospel-resistant people group in West Africa. A small team is already involved in Bible teaching and developing a discipleship and agricultural training centre. However, we are also looking for people to live in a regional city, build relationships among the community and demonstrate Christ’s love in practical ways. This could involve activities such as starting a small business (the community has deep roots in commerce and trade}, engaging youth through sport or teaching English as a second language. A working knowledge of French is essential and learning a local language strongly encouraged.
