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.

Pray with Naomi in the UK
Each Wednesday Naomi co-leads a Bible based English language class in Northern Ireland. “Pray that through teaching the stories of the Bible we would be able to introduce people to Jesus.

Pray with our team in South Sudan
SIM’s Doro Clinic in South Sudan is a beacon of hope where patients have the opportunity to hear about and experience the love of Christ alongside their physical care. As refugees pour in to the area from Sudan, pressure on the clinic is increasing. Pray the Lord will raise up healthcare professionals to join the team.
“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

“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.”

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.
