The Great Physician
It is my desire that healthcare workers may come to know Jesus, the Great Physician.
Walking valleys in tears
Nurture and hospitality
"How on earth could we come alongside people with stories like these, and stand with them in appropriate ways? Even though we knew something about being foreigners and strangers, we were beginners in working with displaced people."
Under the Fig Tree
I hear whispers about people who care...
A lifetime’s service
Hundreds of babies grew into womanhood watched over proudly by a woman who would never be a mother herself.
We can only look to our Lord
With social distancing in place, and people staying home, this is good, but in a country where so many people live paycheck to paycheck, “no work” means “no pay”.
The problem of snakebite
“Can we find out more about snakes?” That request from our physician consultant started me on an unexpected journey.
Reflections on Tangible Love
I wrestled in my mind for a moment, then I looked into her eyes and took her fingerless hands in mine. It was the first time I had touched a person with leprosy. Although I didn’t know a word of her language, as she told her story our hearts connected and her eyes welled with tears. Love was tangible in that room.
Caught between two worlds
In a temporary place
Speaking and sharing with some of these asylum seekers, we realised the there were common questions we all shared about our lives. We were all in a temporary place, wondering about our and our children's futures.
Engaging in our present time
A new beginning after trauma
Why not?
Sometimes I feel we concentrate so much on how we feel His call and asking Him, “why us?”, but maybe a different way of thinking is, “why not?” Why not go and serve alongside those who have no option of living in a safe and materially blessed society as we do. We feel that Father has given us 30 years of abundant blessings, so why not now use these blessings to bless others.
A ministry of encouragement
When I first arrived in Central Asia 15 years ago, I vividly remember the Principal of the Theological College telling me, “You’ll be a great encouragement to the women pastors!”
Archaeology is my love language
Doing my job as an archaeologist is a way to love Central Asians.
A Prayer for Easter
Many Interserve Partners work in places where suffering is widespread, poverty is crushing or crises are escalating with no end in sight. Please pray with us.
Realising you are the problem
“Culturally, it was incredibly challenging for Sokly to ask me to release her into her role.”
Doing the small things with great love
This unusual time has brought a variety of unique challenges that significantly impact our residents.
Love made complete
I met Jesus the other day. He asked me to come with him to see a man who was sick – dying maybe.
Imitating God’s kindness
“Khruu sought to imitate God’s abounding grace and kindness to Nong by purchasing a new uniform for him to wear to school.”
