Launched in 2016, the A-magazines are getting good reviews and have already produced many missions stories which serve the church in Africa and beyond. We have open opportunities for writers, distributors and administrative staff. This ministry is highly strategic, with many people testifying that the A-magazines are an excellent one-stop shop to find missions work by Africans documented. The ministry has developed significantly since its inception and now has the AfriGO, Allons-y, Afritwende and Afri-Ide. This has given the ministry a very wide audience across the continent.

Far more people pass through the doors of clinics and hospitals each day than the doors of churches. Come and use your healthcare skills in this mainly Muslim context and see lives impacted as you offer compassionate, holistic care in Christ's name.

We are also looking for those who can help local staff with professional development.

This ministry seeks to teach the children of mission workers. If you are a teacher used to working in a variety of settings and with a wide age range of children, we would love to hear from you.

Partnering with other mission agencies and local believers, we create online ads that link to a website where those who are interested are able to read the Scriptures, download local-language Bible apps, watch local-language films with Christian content, and request face-to-face meetings with a local believer to talk more about Jesus and the Christian faith. Through online messaging and discernment of spiritual interest, we connect seekers with disciplers near them.

Do you like working with children and teenagers? We are looking for qualified school teachers, as well as those who could work in auxiliary roles such as dorm parenting, finance and admin, to enable families from SIM and like-minded organisations to stay on the field, knowing that their children's educational needs can be met. We place staff and interns at Dakar Academy (https://www.dakar-academy.org), and may also have opportunities for homeschool teachers. Dakar Academy has a Christian ethos, but welcomes children from all backgrounds, so there are opportunities both to disciple those from Christian families and also to share the good news with those who haven't heard.

The Senegalese church is growing, especially among young people. We seek to be active members of local churches, supporting them by regular attendance, in prayer, and by helping with different teaching and discipling ministries as opportunities arise. Talk to us to find out how you could serve.

We are looking for native English speakers to join our team in a large city, teaching English as an additional language to university students and others. Classes are based around a secular curriculum but you would have opportunities to share wisdom from the Bible and discuss with students. You can also facilitate 'drop-in' sessions on discussion topics of your choice. You will get to know students better and build friendships through our social events and day camps. This work provides great opportunities to interact with open-minded, inquiring young people and share the message of the Bible with them in culturally appropriate ways!
