Our Projects
Angola
Since the mid 90’s, SIM has been investing in this quickly, developing, African nation. A missionary training center was established to train a new generation of indigenous pastors/missionaries, which resulted in over 60 new churches in the first five years of this century. Consolidation of these new works as well as support in church construction in the years that followed, opened the way for yet another school to be formed. Now that the civil war is over, the rural provinces have become accessible for further missionary activity.

Morocco
For over thirty years, SIM has been investing in this Muslim country. For a number of years missionaries were sent there from Portugal and currently SIM is concentrating on prayer support as well as supporting the indigenous workers in this country. Because of the sensitivity of the situation, more detailed information cannot be supplied. God is taking the least likely means and people to penetrate these more difficult areas of the world.
Mozambique
In the last five years SIM has been instrumental in beginning a Bible School in the capital, Maputo. The graduates have been active in church planting and it is the goal of SIM to help start another training center and church plant in Vilankulo, which is in the center of the country.
São Tomé and Principe
In September 2022, Tiago and Telma Santos were sent as missionaries to this African island nation. They are using the medium of soccer to reach the youth and from this are discipling a new generation of leaders. They are also helping with literacy training for young women, who have been neglected in the society. The nation is 74% youth, and most families are dysfunctional. Poverty is a major problem and much work is needed to train up these young people in work ethics and entrepreneur initiatives.
