    Faithful Witness

    The purpose of these vital teams is to share the gospel in places where there is no church and virtually no Christian witness with people who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

    The Purpose

    No one should live and die without hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. Yet, that is still a reality for many people today. SIM has a history of more than 130+ years of gospel work, first in Africa and now in more than 70 countries around the world.

    We know it is difficult to start work in areas where there are no mission workers.

    The central purpose of Faithful Witness is to share the gospel with people who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

    The initiative seeks to place teams of multi-cultural and multi-skilled workers in communities across the world where there is no church and virtually no Christian witness.

    This initiative will support new ministry efforts in those areas, allowing SIM to launch and establish healthy, multicultural teams of faithful witnesses.

    Prayer Points

    Pray

    that the Lord will raise up workers for His Harvest that are needed for this initiative.

    Pray

    that the Lord will raise the resources – financial and other needs.

    Pray

    that we will stay in step with Jesus all the way, led by his Holy Spirit and guided by his Word and His love for all people.

    Step 1

    Step 2

    Step 3

    Step 4

    Step 1

    HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?

    The teams will live in community, building relationships and learning the language. They will provide full reports of their progress to their sending churches and donors.

    We have developed a funding model to enable workers from all over the world to join Faithful Witness teams.

    The programme offers matched funding for any worker who wishes to join a Faithful Witness team. The funding will be offered for up to five years, at the end of which the worker is expected to be fully self-supported.

    Step 2

    WHAT WILL THE TEAMS DO?

    Often, the gospel is experienced through living life-on-life with friends, neighbours and colleagues. By expressing the gospel in the context of personal, authentic relationships, many will be drawn to the love of Christ into relationship with him. Teams will be multi-skilled, so a range of possible skill sets are welcome. Some examples include veterinary surgeons, animal husbandry experts, entrepreneurs, accountants, nurses and engineers.

    Step 3

    WHO WILL LEAD THESE TEAMS?

    The leaders will either be SIM workers or workers from partner organisations with relevant experience. They will generally already be in the country or region and have experience doing ministry in the culture. They will also have a passion to help others start ministry.

    Step 4

    WHO CAN JOIN A TEAM?

    Teams will be multi-cultural and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The make-up and dynamics of the team are critical to its success (John 17:22-23). Christians living in community together display the uniqueness of life in Christ. We are currently mobilising teams and funds for Chad, Mali, Nigeria and Thailand, but have opportunities in many more places.

    FAITHFUL WITNESS LOCATIONS

    ASIA

    The team is focused on community development and business opportunities, building relationships of trust with the community.

    CHAD

    We partner with like-minded organisations in eastern Chad to place workers among people who have no church in their mother tongue.

    EAST ASIA
    Christian workers have been attempting to share the gospel with this people group for over a century, yet no revival has maintained momentum.

    MALI
    The H people are open to receiving workers who will live among them and learn the language and culture. There are no more than four known believers among millions of H people.

    MIDDLE EAST
    This majority community, rich in potential, has for too long been robbed of hope. Team members will use professional skills to serve the community.

    NIGERIA
    There are an estimated 20 million desert tribe people in Nigeria. Today, there is an open door for ministry among this least-reached, nomadic community. A multicultural and multi-skilled team will work together to support this community and be witnesses to the faithfulness of God.

    NORTH AFRICA
    Through partnerships, workers will be placed on teams to serve alongside students and equip them to be disciple makers.

    THAILAND
    The city of Ayutthaya is 40 miles north of Bangkok. The team is focused on sports, community health education, and English language ministries in this city.
