About me: ServLife is a global missions organization that seeks to build global community by creating multi-cultural teams among the most marginalized and oppressed regions of the world to rescue and care for at-risk children, end hunger, and train/multiply the indigenous church to advance the whole gospel to the whole person.
Believing that transformational life change is the essence of the gospel, ServLife seeks to impact all aspects of a community for Christ. When individuals are transformed, so is the community where they live. Transformation is core to the gospel. Jesus Christ demonstrated a passion for justice in the communities He touched. We’ve learned that practicing His compassion can make quantifiable results vague – and may even take an entire generation to realize measurable change. Nonetheless, ServLife is committed to fighting hunger and poverty as part of the transformation of people’s lives. What this means may look different from community to community, but we believe that life change should be holistic – including care for the spiritual, physical, social and economic areas of human life.
Knowing the importance of long-term perspective, ServLife works to enable and partner with local churches to impact the community where they exist. In many regions worldwide, the church is either marginalized or a rare exception in her community. This being, reserves are often depleted or lacking, and indigenous leaders can feel they have little with which to impact their communities.
We may collaborate in areas of education, economics and health care for the local community. Always, our aim is to point people to Jesus Christ and connect them with local Christ followers as they better learn of the reasons for our work. Therefore, we seek to practice community development in the context of the local church. This church-community connection can mean different dealings ranging from monetary to purely relationship. In some regions, a local indigenous church isn’t present in a certain part of the community. When this is the case, ServLife aims to work with indigenous churches closest to the region and help establish one.
ServLife is guided by collaborative relationships and principles. Keeping in mind the diverse contexts and cultures of the indigenous churches and communities we serve, our teams aim to think with local leaders to determine how communities can best experience God’s love rather than tell people what needs to be done.
With the ultimate goal of serving, blessing and multiplying the local church in all her beauty, ServLife has practiced these initiatives for years.
* We seek to honor God in all we do and say to always point people to Jesus Christ, the prince of peace.
* We seek to serve, bless, & multiply the Church around the world expressed in all her beauty.
* We seek out the lost, the last, and the least to offer and restore hope
* We seek to bridge resources from the west to the suffering around the world
* We seek to alleviate human suffering, hunger, and poverty
* We seek to act justly and love mercy and walk humbly before our God
* We seek to work with and through indigneous churches if they are present in the culture we are serving. If not, our goal is to see indigenous churches established.
