Interserve desires to see
Lives and communities transformed through encounter with Jesus Christ.
and in light of this vision, we come together
To make Jesus Christ known among the peoples of Asia and the Arab world.
For the last 170 years, Interserve has sent Christians to serve in communities throughout Asia and the Arab world. Today, many people from these lands now call Australia home.
As the church in Australia seeks to respond to this new God-presented opportunity, we have a role to play in supporting the local church. Our cultural expertise in working amongst the peoples of Asia and the Arab world can be a blessing to God’s people here as we partner with the church, helping them be envisioned, equipped and engaged for cross-cultural mission both in Australia and around the world.
As we launch a fresh approach to Interserve’s engagement in Australia, we invite you to join the annual conference and 170th birthday celebrations!
- Come and learn about trends in mission and the global church
- Hear from Interserve team members who are partnering with Australian churches to support new arrivals
- Engage with new resources designed to help Christians in Australia build connection with their global neighbours.
We plan to livestream the Saturday morning keynote session for community members who cannot make the conference in person.
