Share Jesus International (SJI) is a missionary agency whose goal is to share Jesus in many different contexts and countries.

It is a visionary, radical movement, founded by Methodist minister, Rev Rob Frost, which brings together a diverse range of Christian denominations and mission agencies for corporate action in mission and evangelism.

The Board of Share Jesus International incldues leaders from the following agencies: Methodist Church, Scripture Union, Baptist Union of Great Britain, Youth for Christ, Ichthus Christian Fellowship, Church of England Board of Mission, The Salvation Army, Premier Christian Radio, Evangelical Alliance, Churches Together in England, and United Reformed Church.

SJI used to organise the annual Christian event, Easter People. It also arranges weeks of dedicated social mission, and campaigns such as Thirst For Life.

Thirst For Life, a major media campaign of 2006, saw thousands across the UK go without alcohol for the 40 days of lent. Triggered by the media frenzy around binge drinking and the governmental statistics highlighting the negative effects of alcohol on family life, thirst for life was designed as an opportunity to get people thinking.

Rob Frost died in November 2007.
