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.

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?
-
Community Development
Running a business employing local people allows believers natural opportunities to share the good news and disciple others.
-
Medical Ministry
We serve the community through excellence in medical care and teaching and reach the poor and marginalized with Christ-modelled compassion.
-
Outreach Ministry
By faith we see every Zimbabwean with the opportunity to hear of Jesus Christ, believers discipled to a fuller understanding of their faith and Christ’s compassionate love expressed and shared with the hurting and suffering.
“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
How you can pray
We have fresh prayers every day to pray for what God is doing around the world. These can be prayer requests or points for thanksgiving and praise. The work of mission is fuelled by prayer and we would greatly appreciate if you could join our community of prayer. You can get these prayers in your inbox every week if you sign up at the link below for SIMpray.
Can you take time each day to pray for God’s work?

Give thanks for new believers
Workers in the north of England give thanks to the Lord for growing their church and for a recent evangelistic event where several camp to faith in the Lord. Pray they’d continue to be salt and light in their community.
-
Give thanks for new disciples
Give thanks with Peter and Claire-Lise in France for six recent baptisms. Pray for fruit from recent evangelistic events, and that many would find true community in the church family, that points them to Jesus.

Pray with the team in Ghana
2026 marks 70 years of SIM ministry in Ghana! Praise God and pray for Director, Penny and the team as they begin a Strategic Review, looking at how best they are placed to serve alongside the church in making Christ known in the least reached communities.
“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.”

In word and deed: part one
How should our gratitude for God’s amazing love, shown at the cross, overflow into our lives and mission?
“The longer you’re there, the more you see it: long-term plans that you look back on and say: ‘Wow! God’s amazing’.”
Paul and Hilary Gunning – Namibia

“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.
