Faithful Witness

The central purpose of Faithful Witness is to share the gospel with people who have never heard of Jesus Christ.

The initiative seeks to place teams of multi-cultural and multi-skilled workers in communities across the world where there is no church and virtually no Christian witness.

HOW WILL IT HAPPEN

The teams will live in community, building relationships and learning the language. They will provide full reports of their progress to their sending churches and donors.

We have developed a funding model to enable workers from all over the world to join Faithful Witness teams.

The programme offers matched funding for any worker who wishes to join a Faithful Witness team. The funding will be offered for up to five years, at the end of which the worker is expected to be fully self-supported.

WHAT WILL THE TEAMS DO?

Often, the gospel is experienced through living life-on-life with friends, neighbours and colleagues. By expressing the gospel in the context of personal, authentic relationships, many will be drawn to the love of Christ into relationship with him. Teams will be multi-skilled, so a range of possible skill sets are welcome. Some examples include veterinary surgeons, animal husbandry experts, entrepreneurs, accountants, nurses and engineers.

WHO WILL LEAD THESE TEAMS?

The leaders will either be SIM workers or workers from partner organisations with relevant experience. They will generally already be in the country or region and have experience doing ministry in the culture. They will also have a passion to help others start ministry.

WHO CAN JOIN A TEAM?

Teams will be multicultural and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The make-up and dynamics of the team are critical to its success (John 17:22-23). Christians living in community together display the uniqueness of life in Christ. We are currently mobilising teams and funds for Chad, Mali, Nigeria and Thailand, but have opportunities in many more places.
