Making disciples of Jesus in communities where he is least known
Will you join with Serving in Mission UK as we seek to reach the thousands of communities around the world who still need to hear of the transformational love of Jesus?
Billions of people, in the world’s least reached people groups, are living and dying without hearing the good news of Jesus.
Compelled by Christ’s love we join with churches to carry the hope of the gospel where he is least known.
Explore how you can play your part in God’s global mission.
How would you like to get involved?
Prayer:
Father, fill my heart with compassion for those who have never heard your name or experienced your love.
Opportunities to serve God
Serving In Mission UK sends mission workers around the world to work in multinational teams. There are hundreds of opportunities in more than 70 countries for you to use your gifts, skills and resources to serve.
You could be the person that a team has been praying for to come and help them further the advance of God’s kingdom.

The Engage Programme
Working with a local church, we serve the community by sharing the gospel and offering hope and activities that empower individuals.
“I’m grateful that God opened up opportunities to listen to people and encourage them with God’s love. I’m grateful the Church was able to reach out with love and compassion.”

Pray for team training
A team from Carrubbers Church, Edinburgh, is preparing for two weeks’ service in Ethiopia with a day of orientation today. Pray the Lord will use this short-term trip to show the team how he is at work around the globe and to challenge them as to the part they could play going forwards.
“Prayer is the only way any of us can be effective in this spiritual battle – and we’re so grateful for every time you mention us or the needs we share with you, to our heavenly Father.“

Discovering value in Jesus at Talitha Cumi
‘He (Jesus) went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).’ Mark: 5:39 and 41
“The longer you’re there, the more you see it: long-term plans that you look back on and say: ‘Wow! God’s amazing’.”

“The Church is by nature missionary, to the extent that if it ceases to be missionary, it has not just failed in one of its tasks, it has ceased to be the Church.”
Andrew Kirk
The centrality of the Church
We work hand-in-hand with evangelical churches, to send, support and receive gospel workers equipped to make disciples of Jesus, where people live and die without hearing the good news of Jesus.
More than 300 churches from the UK send workers overseas with us, and a growing number are now also receiving mission workers from overseas to help them reach out to their local communities.
If you are a church looking to send or receive mission workers, or you’d like access to training or resources, please do get in contact.
