If you are interested in serving overseas for two years or more, then one of our long-term opportunities could be for you. Interserve’s long term programme is the core of our work. Serving people and establishing genuine, lasting relationships is the best way to model the love of Christ, but this takes time. Interserve Partners typically serve for an initial period of 2-3 years before returning for a period of time in their home country, called Home Assignment. This includes a period of language learning and cultural immersion into the country of service. Many of our Partners find that, because they have been called to the country of God's choosing, they naturally fall in love with the people and the culture where they serve. Building relationships across cultures requires a serious commitment and an investment of time, but the benefits are enormous. Our Partners need the support and backing of their church family and usually also a good support base of friends and family. Most positions are not salaried so raising financial support is part of the preparations. If you are interested in the long term programme, please contact the Interserve office in your country. On Track is Interserve’s short-term programme, for those wanting to serve the peoples of Asia and the Arab World by making Jesus known. Placements are available from two months to one year and are arranged on an individual basis depending on your specific areas of interest. Whether you are interested in taking a gap year or career break, have just graduated or are about to do a medical elective, or recently retired, there may be a suitable placement for you. If you are interested in the short term programme, please contact the Interserve office in your country.
Interserve Partners are engaged in wholistic (or integral) ministry, impacting lives and communities across different dimensions and at multiple levels. We seek to serve in locations and roles where we can make a real difference to those in need. We enjoy proximity, credibility and the opportunity to demonstrate and share the gospel of Christ as we build relationships and serve the local church. Our ministries are whole and integrated. Proclamation, service and fellowship contribute together to our witness. We hold together different dimensions, such as word and action, personal life, professional skills and our contribution to building the church. Each of us combines these in different ways according to our situation, gifts and stages in our life and ministry. Interserve has wholism embedded in its DNA. Wholism is more than the devotion of every aspect of our lives, made available in His service. Wholism requires of us a theological understanding and expression that includes the wonder of creation and the certainty of the new creation; the full impact of the fall and the totality of God’s reconciling work in Christ; the reality of the Kingdom and the Church as God’s primary instrument of transformation in society.
