 Who we are
Interserve’s purpose statement is:
“Our purpose is to make Jesus Christ known through integrated ministry, in partnership with the global church, amongst the neediest peoples of Asia and the Arab World.”

From its inception Interserve has put great emphasis on integration of word and deed wherever we serve. Since the first two women, in 1852, went to India to teach in the Zenanas and share God’s love with the women and children, the organisation has grown to over 600 Partners working in more than 25 countries from 19 different nationalities. All of those Partners use their professional skills to share God’s compassion with those that they work with.

Some points that are important for us are:
• We are committed to work with the local churches in the countries where we work as well as in the countries where our Partners come from.
• We realise that we are just one of the organisations that God uses to bring about His Kingdom in this world and we are therefore committed to work in partnership with other likeminded organizations.
• We value the diversity of cultures in the world which shows the creativity of God and we rejoice in seeing that diversity increasingly reflected at all levels in our organisation.
• We recognise that God works through many churches and denominations and as we serve His church we welcome people from many denominations
• We see the high value and power of prayer and so they form the basis of all our ministry and working together
• As a Fellowship, we are committed to pray, care for and respect one another.
• We are committed to excellent standards of support, pastoral care and personal development.
• We practice participation in leadership, decision-making, strategic planning and pastoral care in all sectors of the Fellowship.

This is just to give you an impression of who we are. We hope you are interested in getting to know us better. We invite you to contact the nearest National Office to where you live through the Communication centre on this web site.
