Prayerfully consider the following...

• Worldwide Opportunities - With SIM you can follow God's leading to major unreached areas of Africa, Asia, and South America

• Ministry Choices - You can choose from many areas of personal ministry with SIM. There are openings for people with almost any skill imaginable. Name any legitimate occupation, and there's probably someone in SIM performing that function. Accountant to evangelist to welder? pilot to librarian to youth counselor?there's a place for nearly everyone in SIM. God treasures the unique contribution you can make

• International Teamwork - You'll be joining people from more than 30 countries, benefiting from their diverse experiences while enjoying unity in Christ

• Medical Coverage - Each SIM member benefits from coverage of medical and dental needs. Even if that means an emergency flight home, SIM will care for you and your family

• Administrative Support - Teams in the field and at your national headquarters are behind you all the way. They make possible your full attention to your unique ministry

• Servant Leadership - At SIM everyone receives the same salary (adjustments are made for dependent children and location of ministry). This is just one reason SIM leadership sees itself as servants and co-workers with each and every missionary. As such, they become your advocates and helpers

• Financial Stability - By prayer SIM has grown steadily since 1893, always with the policy that no mission project will be started until moneys are in hand. This conservative but effective approach, along with the pooled support concept, has kept SIM and its members financially stable

• Retirement Benefits - After 20 or more years of service, SIM members are eligible for retirement benefits

Of course, SIM maintains a focus on its primary goal of reaching people for Jesus Christ and planting churches in his name. But that's a broad purpose, and there's no one right way to achieve it. There are as many ministries in SIM as there are missionaries - each reaching out in the way God leads.
