Sudan Interior Mission : ウィキペディア英語版 | Serving In Mission
SIM is an international, interdenominational Christian mission organization. It was established in 1893 by its three founders, Walter Gowans and Rowland Bingham of Canada and Thomas Kent of the United States. The initials originally stood for "Soudan Interior Mission," Soudan being an older spelling of the Sudan region of West Africa. After various name changes and mergers, the mission simply goes by "SIM" today. In French-speaking countries it is known as "Société Internationale Missionnaire." It is 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. In 2008 SIM had about 1,800 active missionaries, from 37 countries serving in over 43 countries in 5 continents (principally South America, Africa and Asia). ==Organization== SIM's international headquarters are located in Fort Mill, South Carolina (just outside Charlotte, North Carolina). Sending offices are located in Australia, Canada, France, South Korea, South Africa, United Kingdom, Belgium, Singapore, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United States.
