A movement where Christ is named

SIM

Prayer & missions · Founded 1893 · Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

SIM, which stands for Serving in Mission, is an international Christian missions organization founded in 1893 to bring the gospel to unreached peoples, beginning with pioneering work in Africa. Today it sends and supports workers across many nations. SIM's purpose is to share the good news of Jesus Christ where He is least known, to plant and strengthen churches, and to serve communities through compassion, health care, education, and development.

What they do

SIM sends and supports Christians from many nations who share the gospel of Jesus Christ, plant churches, and help local believers grow into mature, sending congregations. Its workers labor especially among peoples and places where the name of Christ is least known, seeking to leave behind healthy churches led by local believers.

Alongside evangelism and church planting, SIM has a long history of compassionate service, including medical work, care for people affected by HIV and AIDS, education, community development, and relief in times of crisis. This blend of proclamation and practical love reflects its aim to serve whole communities in the name of Jesus.

The Scripture behind the work

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15 (KJV)
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 (KJV)
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”
Revelation 7:9 (KJV)

Where the door leads

SIM serves so that people who have never heard may know, love, and follow Jesus Christ within a local church. Its mercy work and church planting are woven together to make Him known. If you want to respond, ask a local Christian how you can begin following Jesus, and read the Gospel of Luke to see His heart for the world.
