We are excited to see you play your part in God’s global mission.
Choosing the way you engage in mission can feel like a big decision, but ultimately there are two considerations to help you discern what God is leading you toward.
Prayerfully consider your commitment to the location and ministry opportunity that best coincide with how God is leading you. Along with that, consider the abilities and skills He has given you to serve others in His name.
Length: 2+ Years
We believe the most effective way for a ministry to have a lasting impact for God’s kingdom is for the mission workers to become full members of our community — and that takes time. Long term mission workers learn the language and culture, live and work alongside their neighbours, earning trust and developing relational opportunities to share the Gospel by continually investing in those around them.
On average, it takes about two years to go from initial enquiry to serving in your chosen location of ministry.
If you feel God’s call to serve cross-culturally, start a conversation with one of Mission Mobilisers today. It all begins with someone like you, someone who is ready to step out in obedience to God.
Length: 2 Months to 1 Year
Short term placements are designed to support an ongoing SIM ministry and provide an introduction to cross-cultural service. They are ideal for those who are uncertain about the length of service or have no experience in overseas ministry. If you’re looking to gain cross-cultural ministry experience, be a part of how God is at work around the world and see how you can be part of God’s mission for a lifetime, this could be a great option for you. The preparation process takes roughly 4-5 months, including the initial enquiry, application process, training and support raising, before heading out to your chosen location for ministry.

When people are first checking out SIM, they are probably asking a lot of good questions:
Individuals in this stage are called “Applicants.” This application process is a two-way street: SIM is praying about whether this seems like a good fit for the Applicant to join SIM. At the same time, the applicant is praying about whether SIM is a good fit for them.
Applicants will submit their online application and provide 4 references. Once SIM has received the application and references, one or two members of the Personnel and Member Care Team will interview the applicant.
Following the interview, a recommendation regarding the application is made, along with any further comments/suggestions for placement and preparation.
Our Mission Mobilisers and Personnel Team walk alongside Applicants and help them complete and submit all further required information and required documents (Doctrinal Assessment, Psychological Assessment and medical forms).
