What Is SIM?
SIM is a community of God’s people who delight to worship Him and are passionate about the gospel, seeking to fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.
SIM has more that 1,600 active missionaries serving in over 40 countries on 5 continents. We are made up of united organizations that began more than 100 years ago, including Africa Evangelical Fellowship, Andes Evangelical Mission, International Christian Fellowship, and Sudan Interior Mission. Our field ministries work with about 15,250 congregations with about 9 million members and adherents.

If you’re like me, you sometimes get tired of hearing the bad news. Reports of crime, wars, natural disasters, and economic woes always seem to make the headlines, but the good news of people helping people, economic success, and improved lives seldom gets mentioned.
But, as you’ll discover in this issue of Harvest, there |
is good news to report! You'll Read how your generous response to our appeal in May helped SIM prevent a devastating, widespread famine in the Kaffrine area of Senegal.
 |
You’ll also learn how your support of our HOPE for AIDS program in Malawi has restored health and hope to a young woman, as well as how the program aims to help even more people like her in the future. And there’s exciting news about a unique business venture in Peru where profits from a successful business are being used to support missionaries.
You’ll also want to check out our recently published gift catalog to discover even more ways you can help SIM have a positive impact for eternity in lives around the globe.
But the best news, perhaps, is that wherever SIM is at work, the Good News of the gospel is being shared with people who need to know God loves them and longs to have a relationship with them.
While wars, crime, and natural disasters will continue to hit the headlines in the mainstream media, I wanted to remind you that your support of SIM, our missionaries, |
and our ministries is making a positive difference in people’s lives around the world. And that, I believe, is making headlines for eternity.
