100 Hours for 100 years

By prayer 
for 100 years

Prayer has always been central to SIM’s story. As SIM New Zealand prepares to celebrate 100 years, we invite you to join us on 15 July for a day of prayer for our people, our partners, and the ministry God has ahead.

Why pray?
Prayer has always carried the work

“By Prayer” has always been more than a motto for SIM. Across our story, prayer has opened doors, protected people, met needs, and sustained ministry at just the right time.

For generations, supporters, churches, prayer groups, and everyday people have faithfully lifted up SIM’s workers and ministry around the world.
A foundation: Prayer is not an add-on to the celebration. It is where we begin.
A shared history: Many have prayed with SIM for years through Together magazine, local prayer groups, and personal relationships.
A simple invitation: Choose a time, pray where you are, and join others across New Zealand.

Focus for August 2026
Praying for Pacific Asia

Our August focus is our region in SIM - Pacific Asia. As entities, we share a desire for Christ to be known here in our 'global back yard'. We will pay particular focus to SIM Thailand who we are working closely with to provide short-term opportunities for people to experience mission (with the hope that some may be called long-term).
This month’s focus: We will centre our prayer on SIM Pacific Asia, alongside wider requests from SIM International, the SIM NZ office, and SIM members.
What we’ll pray for: Current ministry, open doors, protection, provision, workers on the ground, and the future God is preparing for SIM in these places and beyond.
