Making disciples of Jesus in communities where he is least-known
Will you join with Serving in Mission UK as we seek to reach the thousands of communities around the world who still need to hear of the transformational love
of Jesus?
Billions of people, in the world’s least-reached people groups, are living and dying without hearing the good news of Jesus.
Compelled by Christ’s love, we join with churches to carry the hope of the gospel where he is least-known.
Explore how you can play your part in God’s global mission.

Good Friday
As the disciples mourned the brutal death of their friend and teacher, so we mourn the vast areas of the world that still don’t know of this sacrifice made on our behalf. Pray the Lord of the harvest will raise up more workers to take the good news of his death and resurrection to those yet to hear.
“Prayer is the only way any of us can be effective in this spiritual battle – and we’re so grateful for every time you mention us or the needs we share with you, to our heavenly Father.”

The centrality of the Church
We work hand-in-hand with evangelical churches, to send, support and receive gospel workers equipped to make disciples of Jesus, where people live and die without hearing the good news of Jesus.
More than 300 churches from the UK send workers overseas with us, and a growing number are now also receiving mission workers from overseas to help them reach out to their local communities.
If you are a church looking to send or receive mission workers, or you’d like access to training or resources, please do get in contact.
