John and Deborah have served in missions for the past 30 years. They began their work in the country of  Guatemala, where they worked in evangelism and church planting. Much of their work took them to remote villages, prisons, orphanages, and communities where the greatest need for the gospel existed. They helped build a Bible school in Chiqimulia, Guatemala, which served as a training center for pastors, reaching as far as Honduras.

In 1996 they accepted the pastoral position at Antigua International Community Church, where they pastored for two years developing a ministry outreach center. 

Over the past 25 years, they've served as AGWM appointed missionaries. They're current assignment is with Builders International, John as Regional Project Manager and Deborah as Lead Visual Comunications Designer. Their work is in the areas of project management, on-site project assessment, team leading, project awareness and development of facilities that will carry the Gospel to the nations.

Every 45 minutes a new Assemblies of God church is planted around the world, that is over 11,000 churches per year! The Sims assist in the building of Bible schools, ChildHope schools, rescue centers, ophanages, medical centers, churches and training facilities that help meet the needs of this rapid church growth.

Their missions work over the past 30 years in church planting, evangelism, pastoring, and building, has given them a wealth of knowledge and experience to help facilitate reaching the lost through the construction ministry. Their heart is to assist in building PLACES where people find HOPE!
