Sweden [7124]

Imagine a country the size of California, but only two UPC churches.  Imagine nearly 11 million people with only two pastors to serve them.  Imagine that there are more contacts and people needing connection than there are people able to go.  If this bothers you, then I am talking to you.  SWEDEN NEEDS YOU.

Jesus said that, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”* Nowhere is that more true than in Sweden.  There are people that we are connected to all over Sweden that we cannot even minister to consistently or effectively because of distance and those who can go.  Jesus followed his statement of this truth with a prayer request.  “Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”** The answer to the dilemma begins with prayer, but it ends with someone being an answer to that prayer.  Could you be that answer today?

In Sweden, we are hungry to see the gospel spread to every major city of this country.  But we need laborers.

• We need laborers to come and pray.
• We need laborers to teach Bible studies.
• We need seasoned teachers to help us train growing leaders.
• We need people to help us grow our social media and online ministry platforms.
• We need helpers to be parts of launch teams in new cities.
• We need baristas who can come and help us set up our new cafe church location.

And we need it NOW.  We need it on an ongoing basis for the coming term beginning summer of 2026.

Language: While the official language is Swedish, most Swedish people are proficient in English (they learn in school from 2nd grade). So there should be no barrier.

Visa requirements:  AIMers can come and work for 90 days without securing a Visa. If you desire a longer term you can apply for a one-year missionary visa.

Living arrangements: AIMers would need to secure a temporary or long-term apartment or accommodation in either Stockholm or Uppsala.

If you are interested, please contact us!  We are happy to field and questions or help in any way that we can.  We look forward to hearing from you.
