Welcome to Interserve USA

Interserve USA is one of several National Councils around the world who cooperate in providing means for people to serve God by serving others. We are part of an international fellowship of Christians who want to be Servants for the hard places.

  • We serve in countries across North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia and among immigrant people in the U.S.
  • We use our professional skills to minister to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people that we serve.
  • We seek to spread the Gospel where it is least known helping people understand their options regarding faith, believing that many will choose to become disciples of Jesus Christ.

There are many ways to get from here to there, but it is not a one size fits all situation.

What do Interserve workers have in common?  A lot … and also not much. 

A lot in terms of faith in Christ, a commitment to follow Him, and a call to serve the gospel in the world’s most needy places.  Not much in terms of professions, denominational affiliation, nationality, and ethnic background.  We are a diverse group of Christians who view our work as part of our ministry, but that work can be in just about any profession.  We are determined to share our faith with those who don’t know Christ, but we do so holistically, according to our varied contexts, gifts, personalities, and opportunities.  We are sent by a National Council in our home country, but on the field we join an international, multi-ethnic team of Interservers from around the world.  We come from particular churches and traditions, but our primary commitment is to humbly serve people, allowing the Spirit to lead them as He wills.

If what we have in common seems to describe you, we should talk.  If what we don’t have in common appeals to you and your vision for cross-cultural ministry, we should talk seriously.  There are many ways to get from here to there, but it is not a one size fits all situation.  Our goal is to help people who are called to be servants in the hard places.  By “help” we especially mean finding an organization that fits who you are and how you want to serve.  What we might have – and not have - in common, is the key to success in that regard.  Just let us know if you want more details or personal interaction regarding these important things.
