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.

Pray for more workers
Pray with workers in Ecuador: “On Sundays, we meet for Bible study with our friends and their relatives – the only Christians in their village. Recently, they’ve asked to talk about evangelism. We hope we can equip them to better reach their community with the gospel. Pray for others to join us in this kingdom work.”
-
Pray for the Lord’s provision
Pray with a worker in the Middle East: “I dream of providing a fun activity session to allow the mothers of special needs children time together. Ask God to provide so this can happen. Pray the fathers of these children will provide childcare and release their wives to attend and be blessed.”
-
Pray for healthcare leaders as they meet
SIM UK Health Coordinator, Phil, is speaking today at a conference. Pray the Lord will use him to inspire and enthuse mission and healthcare leaders on the vital role health professionals have in taking the gospel to places others may not be able to access.
“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 adventures of a ‘reluctant mission worker’
Stepping off a plane for a two-year assignment, SIM UK’s longest-serving member Karen Hicks, had no idea God was leading her into a faithful ministry that would last more than 40 years.
“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 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.
