On 3-4 November 2024 we are asking individuals and churches to pray with us for the work of Interserve Great Britain & Ireland.
A National Office within an International Organisation
As an international and interdenominational organisation, Interserve is committed to serving in partnership with the local Church. Our Great Britain & Ireland office is one of 15 Interserve offices across the globe, each responsible for sending and supporting numerous Partners to make Jesus known through wholistic ministry amongst peoples of Asia and the Arab world. An International Office team provides oversight for the entire global fellowship, serving in over 35 national contexts.
Leadership Transitions for 2025
In 2025, Chris Binder, currently National Director for Interserve Great Britain & Ireland (GBI), will move into a new role as Co-International Director for the global Interserve fellowship (click here to read more about Chris’ new role and his Australian Co-Director, Lyn Pearson). As a result, we are currently recruiting a new National Director for the GBI Office. We invite you to pray with us during this important time, as we seek to discern God’s heart for the person who will lead us with prayerful integrity into the next season of our ministry.
More information about the GBI National Director role, including a full recruitment pack, will soon be available here: www.interserve.org.uk/opportunities
Prayer Points
If you would like some pointers for your prayers, we hope you will find the following helpful:
- We thank God for the Partners, Associates and Office Staff who make up Interserve Great Britain & Ireland (GBI), and for all they do in sharing Jesus among peoples of Asia and the Arab World both here and overseas. Many will be gathering together to pray at Interserve GBI’s National conference from 1-3 November. Please pray for God’s blessing and encouragement for them in the midst of ongoing changes.
- We praise God for the faithful service of our current National Director, Chris Binder. Pray for Chris and Australian colleague, Lyn Pearson, as they prepare to serve as Co-International Directors for the Interserve global fellowship from Spring 2025. Ask they will continually rely on the strength, energy and wisdom that the Lord provides.
- Please pray for Interserve GBI’s Board members leading the search for a new National Director, as they prayerfully seek to discern God’s heart for the person who will take up leadership of Interserve GBI. Ask for the Lord’s guidance, wisdom and unity for all involved in the discernment journey.
- Pray for all those who consider applying for this role in the coming weeks, both external candidates and those from within Interserve. We ask for God’s good plans and purposes to prevail throughout the recruitment process for all involved.
We have also produced presentation slides for use in church services or zoom prayer meetings:
We would love you to consider how you might invite others to join us in prayer. Please share this Call to Prayer with your church and others across Great Britain & Ireland if you are able.
