The online editions of SIM South Africa’s SIMnow Autumn (March) 2024 magazine are available.
This is the seventh issue I have compiled and edited, and we continue to get good feedback about it from readers.
A challenge, though, is that getting the magazine to the readers is increasingly difficult. South Africa’s postal system faces many challenges itself, and those sometimes delay or prevent delivery for our readers.
We have long posted the PDFs of our magazine online to help alleviate this, but we recognize that PDFs of two-page magazine spreads aren’t easy to read on a phone, which is where most reading happens nowadays. While we are working to develop a more suitable long-term solution, we have created a one-page-wide adaptation of the magazine for distribution by WhatsApp, which is a very popular app in and around South Africa.
Luke 1:1-4 (NIV)“Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.”

I’m a bit late in sharing this here, but the online edition of SIM South Africa’s SIMnow Winter (June) 2023 magazine is available.
This is the sixth issue I have compiled and edited, and I have been very pleased by the success the magazine has consistently had in representing what the Lord is doing through the people and ministries of SIM South Africa. Many readers and SIM officials have commended us for the quality of this “orderly account,” including one saying it’s her favorite of all the SIM magazines.

Publishing this issue was a special joy personally, both because it celebrated our team’s first in-person SLC since COVID began and because it came after many challenges and delays.
