What do you do at SIM UK?
My job title is Executive Assistant to the SIM UK leadership team, so I look to support the UK Director and leadership team in any way I can. My main work comes through our Head of Operations, Emma, and I also work closely with Alex, our Director.
What does your job look like day-to-day?
I work remotely based in Stockport, and I love the variety in my day-to-day: From arranging meetings and office visits, to helping organise events, like our Spiritual Life Conference and All Team days. It’s great to be able to connect for Staff Prayers with the team each day, especially when you’re working remotely, as it’s a great reminder of how God is in everything we do.
What makes you passionate about your work?
I love the work of SIM UK: Taking the gospel to areas where Christ is least known and doing everything by prayer. It’s a real privilege to be a part of that and to hear of the wonderful work happening both here in the UK and in other nations. To be able to pray for that together every day, knowing we need God to move in some really challenging situations, and then seeing answers to prayers too is amazing!
In what ways do you continue your ministry in life outside of work?
Outside of work, my husband Adam is a pastor, so we’re involved in so many ways in the life of the church and local community outreach. This can be anything from offering pastoral support or leading midweek groups, to volunteering in kids on a Sunday and at our community events. I love the fact that Adam and I have been able to connect with other local church leaders, who are also linked to SIM UK – that’s been really exciting to see.
How can we pray for you?
- For wisdom in prioritising my work in the day-to-day, as I balance different tasks.
- To grow in my role and continue to support the leadership team well.
