125 Years of Gospel in South Africa
Multi-ethnic, multi-skilled teams living out the gospel in heart, word and deed — across South Africa and the world.
Our Purpose
We believe that God has called us to make disciples of Jesus Christ in communities where He is least known. Working in close partnership with churches, we recruit, equip, and place mission workers in multi-cultural teams across South Africa and the world.
SIM South Africa sends workers into diverse communities — from the townships of Cape Town to the rural north of KwaZulu-Natal — bringing holistic gospel ministry where it is most needed.
Prayer is foundational to everything we do. By prayer we praise God, seek His direction, and call upon the Holy Spirit to empower our ministries — and yours.
