About SIM

We are an international organisation

Serving In Mission is an international mission organisation with more than 3,000 cross-cultural mission workers, connecting people and churches in 70+ countries. We not only send people from the UK to share the gospel as part of multicultural teams in a wide range of strategic ministries, but we also have mission workers from other nations serving cross-culturally in the UK.

The importance of the least reached

We want to see a world with a witness to Christ’s love where he is least known, disciples of Jesus expressing God’s love in their communities, and Christ-centred churches among all peoples.

SIM has a particular heart for the least-reached parts of the world, where it’s difficult to work as a Christian and openly share your faith. We believe the gospel task means we must go to these hard places and bring the love of Christ in humility and culturally appropriate ways.

A church-centred approach

It’s the responsibility of the local church to fulfil the Great Commission, sharing the gospel locally and globally. Many churches don’t have the capacity to support workers overseas, so SIM provides an experienced and knowledgeable service to make sure mission workers are well looked after and can focus on their ministry.

Sharing God’s love in action

We have workers sharing their faith in a wide range of contexts, including Bible teaching, translation, medical work, engineering, teaching, sports coaching, arts ministry, church-planting, business, and working with people who are vulnerable, or who have been exploited, to name but a few.

Vision & Mission

Our mission: we are compelled by God’s great love and empowered by the Holy Spirit:

Our History

Walter Gowans, Roland Bingham, and Thomas Kent had a vision – compelled by love to share the news of Jesus Christ with the 60 million unreached people of the Sudan in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, more than 130 years later, SIM has grown and developed, as thousands of people have served, tens of thousands of churches have been established, and millions of people have come to trust in Jesus.

Staff & Trustees

Our leadership team consists of Alex Hawke (Director), Emma Launchbury (Operations), Hannah Boxall (Mission Personnel), Jonny Beggs (Communications) and Tim Walters (Finance), Our Board of Trustees is chaired by the Rev Jonny Dyer and David Thompson.
