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 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?

Pray for theology students
Pray theology students will catch a vision for their involvement in cross-cultural mission even if they are then called primarily into a pastoral or Bible teaching ministry. Pray they’d be catalysts for cross-cultural mission wherever they serve.

Pray for Ruth in Malawi
Ruth has an opportunity to lead a teacher training seminar at the Evangelical Bible College of Malawi this month, to follow up from time spent at the college observing lessons. Pray the seminar will be well received and teaching put into practice.

Pray for theology students in Nigeria
Give thanks for a seminary in Nigeria, which offers both residential training and hybrid studies for students already in ministry who are not free to leave their ministry location for long periods of time. Pray students will be well equipped for the roles the Lord has for them.
“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.”

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.
