About Interserve
Interserve exists to be a community of disciples of Jesus Christ who…
through their commitment to wholistic ministry are agents of God’s transformational work as He reveals Himself to the peoples of the Asian and Arab World wherever they may be found. From our beginnings, through the women who served in the zenanas of South Asia, we have realised our call to serve the neediest people, that they may experience the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, so that lives and communities can be transformed.
To do so, we seek to be a community of people who are dependent on God and live lives of integrity. We are committed to facilitate the growth of our people through reflective learning, care and support as well as the integration of diverse cultures into a united community. We aspire to be Kingdom oriented, Christ-like and committed to serve the global Church, His Body. We value partnerships with other like-minded organisations and continue to seek the glory of God and the growth of the Kingdom rather than focus on our own organisational growth alone.

Vision
Our vision is to see the lives and communities of the peoples of Asia & the Arab World transformed through encounter with Jesus Christ.
Values
Our values shape the way we serve those to whom we are called and how we engage together as a community.
Focus
We believe God has called us to share His love with particular people, in particular places and in a particular way.
Community
We are a global community of Jesus-followers. We’re committed to serving in partnership with others and building the global Church.
History
Interserve’s roots go back to the early 19th century as a movement of Christian women from around the world. Much has changed over that time, but our commitment to transformation in Jesus’ name remains the same.
