What’s your role at SIM UK?
I’m SIM UK’s Engagement Officer, based in Cambridge. It’s a new role at SIM that I started three months ago.
What does your job look like day-to-day?
Day-to-day, I create social media posts, write newsletters, update our website and anything else that helps engage people with our work.
A key part of my job is building relationships with our supporters, donors, mission workers, and staff, to help connect them into the SIM community. I work closely with the rest of the communications team to help share the amazing work God is doing through SIM.
What makes you enthusiastic about your work?
I love that my work allows me to be so creative. Seeing ideas come to life and playing a part in shaping the direction of them is an exciting process to be a part of. The fact that I can use the skills God’s given me to further his kingdom — particularly through sharing amazing stories from our mission workers — is wonderful.
How have you seen God working through your job?
Even though I only started at SIM in June, I’ve already seen God at work so much. Getting to join a team God has clearly placed together is such a privilege. Not only is God at work through those serving in different countries, but he’s at work through all the behind-the-scenes work too – in the prayer meetings, the calls with supporters, and even in the spreadsheets!
How do you continue your ministry outside work?
I’m involved in serving at my church on the communications team, youth team, and serving on a Sunday morning. I love any opportunity to have conversations about Jesus with people who are curious to know more, and I’m always up for reading the Bible with them too.
I’ve been involved in youth work at my church for the past six years, because I think investing in young people is important. I lead on youth camps twice a year, and seeing young people’s hunger to know Jesus and desire to put him at the centre of their lives is so inspiring. I definitely learn a lot from them!
How can we pray for you?
- Please pray that I can build good relationships with everyone in the SIM UK community and communicate well with them.
- Pray for a deeper knowledge of God’s love and his good plans for me.
