making disciples who make disciples in communities where jesus is least known
The heart of SIM is to equip God’s church. That means empowering new believers to share their faith, reach their community, and disciple other new believers. Discipleship can happen in a formal training program, or it can be as simple as living in community and modeling what it looks like to follow Jesus.

“In the last three years, through this oral Bible method and new discipleship materials, we’re in a second wave of church planting. These churches who have been here a long time are raising up second-generation Christians who are going out into unreached areas.”
