Jesus said “I have come that they might have life and have it in all its fullness.” We long to see every situation where there are barriers to this abundance of life for individuals and communities transformed, in the name of Jesus.

Since 1852 this vision has led us to the peoples of Asia and the Arab World, both to people living in those regions and those who have migrated from there to other parts of the world. In our early years in south Asia the main obstacles to fullness of life were limited access to education and medical care, leading to our involvement in these ministries which continues to this day. Parts of Asia and the Arab World still suffer from high rates of infant mortality and maternal mortality while access to education is still limited for millions of people, particularly women. Yet this region sees so little Christian witness that millions of people do not know a follower of Christ.

Over the years Interserve’s ministry has expanded as we seek to transform modern obstacles to fullness of life. We work to counter human trafficking, work alongside refugees, assist immigrants and in every way possible seek to bring meaningful, lasting transformation in the lives of those with whom we work. Times have changed, but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever; and our call to serve in the name of Jesus alongside the peoples of Asia and the Arab World, wherever they may be, continues.
