Welcome to the Interserve USA web site. This is a virtual place for people who want to get involved in the real world; involved with giving real time (years), giving real skills (training, education, experience), giving real commitment (to share the gospel), and giving all of this in real places (the Arab world and Asia). There’s also a place on this site where you can give real money to the cause by making an on-line donation, but that’s not my main point. I’m really talking about why we go where we go. We are servants for the hard places because we want to make a real and positive difference among the world’s neediest people.
We love good clean technology as much as anyone else and we take our IPads and smart phones with us. But where we go it’s all about relationships with people - making friends, drinking tea, learning someone else’s language and culture, working together, and being part of a community; not a virtual community - a real one. It can get a little messy, but it’s full of rewards. Most of the rewards are intangible, like finding meaning, purpose, satisfaction, and joy – but they are as real as can be.
If you want to know more, do a little exploring here, and then contact us. You can start with email, but pretty soon we will want to get acquainted with the real you, and talk together about how God is leading you to serve him.
