By Prayer
"By prayer we are disciples and we make disciples who love and worship Jesus." — SIM Core Value
The Foundation
By Prayer — it's not just a tagline for SIM. It is the conviction on which our entire mission rests. "By Prayer" and in faith we depend on God for the provision of all our needs.
Prayer is how we praise God, seek his direction, request resources, and call upon the Holy Spirit to empower our ministries. It is the lifeblood of everything we do in South Africa and around the world.
When you pray for SIM South Africa, you are not a bystander to mission — you are a partner in it. Your intercession sustains missionaries, opens doors, and transforms communities.
