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.

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 supports mission workers who serve in multinational teams around the world. 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.
Where could God be calling you?

Church Leadership Training
Pastors and other church leaders are receiving formal part-time theological training so that they will be deeply rooted in the truth of the Bible and equipped for shepherding their congregations.
“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.”
Stephanie Darling – Malawi

Pray for English language students
As relationships are built with students attending a weekly English language class in the north of England, pray the Lord will be at work opening up opportunities to share on a deeper level.
“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.”

“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.
