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 childen in Bolivia
The law in Bolivia states children are allowed to live in prison with their incarcerated mothers until one day before their seventh birthday. The children are bussed out for education when they are old enough. Sarah plans to train and equip their teachers in how best to help them. “Pray that as the children receive support in school – and as we try to support the mothers in parenting – that we’d see them start to overcome some of their struggles.”

Pray with Lizzie in Peru
Thank you for praying with Lizzie and Noemi in Peru as they considered a new outreach: “We’re going ahead with two visits to a jungle area to give training and water filters. Each visit will take a month.” Pray the Lord will provide finances needed.

Give thanks for gospel partnership
A group of Muslim background believers and mission members meet regularly to pray and think strategically about ministry. Pray these meetings and friendships will bear fruit for God’s kingdom.
“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.
