Who We Are

Who We Are

Interserve USA is part of an international and interdenominational fellowship of Christians committed to each other and in partnership for service to the people of the Arab World and Asia.

We are made up of Christian professionals and highly trained personnel who use their professional skills to minister holistically to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people they serve.

What We Do

Some examples:

  1. Need credit for medical school? We offer medical electives in Central Asia.
  2. Use your engineering skills in the mountainous region of Nepal.
  3. Teach foreign language in the foreign land of East Asia.
  4. Serve the people of Bangladesh as a nurse or physician in a rural hospital.
  5. Help some families with home schooling in South Asia.
  6. Come spend your summer in Mongolia teaching English to local students.
  7. Are you a skilled Ophthalmologist? Use your skills in an eye hospital in Pakistan.
  8. Work with the deaf and blind in the Arab World.
  9. Called to serve, but not overseas. Check out EthnoServe, a ministry within Interserve in the United States.

Our Aim

We aim to make Christ known across cultures by word and action in countries where otherwise He wouldn't be known. By placing Christians with skills in these areas to serve individuals, churches and communities holistically they are being the real salt and light of this world.


Our History

Interserve began in 1852 when a group of teachers, Christian women from England, showed great love and compassion to the women and children of India. Orphanages and women's hospitals and school were founded in India and the good news of Christ shared.


What We Are Today

We now are made up of branches in 19 countries who send cross-cultural workers to countries in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Asia. We work in partnership with other agencies to ensure the work of our Partners reach those who need it the most.


Support us as we pursue our mission!
