Long Term

God’s story of restoration in the world cannot happen overnight.

Lasting impact comes through extended investment in lives and communities. This is why God calls some people to serve long term (2 Years+) as part of an international, inter-cultural community.

There are many different ways that people serve to suit their situations. Some raise support and serve full-time, while others volunteer or serve alongside another occupation.

Opportunities to serve

There are opportunities for almost anyone to serve. We serve as Teachers, Operations Managers, Midwives, in friendship-building, sports coaches, serving the homeless, in maintenance, working with people who have been trafficked, IT technicians, counsellors, creation care, fundraising, media communications, vets – the list goes on!

You bring your skills and experience and we will discern together what God is calling you to and where He is placing you.

 
 

Join an international community following Jesus’ call to use their skills and experience to bring transformation to the peoples of Asia & the Arab World, wherever they are.
