Vision
Since 1998, the Serge team has worked to bring about a movement of grace-empowered gospel communities in southern Spain, beginning with a church plant in the city. Through Bible studies, worship services, seminars, discipleship groups, and activities for kids and teens, a Christ-focused community is taking root. The team is also serving the local community in tangible ways through clothing exchanges and opportunities to learn English.
Interns will have the opportunity to join our team in advancing this vision/mission in some of the following ways:
Serve and demonstrate love to children, teens, and families in southern Spain through the vehicle of our summer English camps.
Help the teams prepare crafts, skits, etc for the camps.

VISION
The Serge team in Chile seeks to serve as a catalyst for growth, healing, and Gospel-understanding through word and deed ministries, among the people and churches in Chile and beyond.
OVERVIEW OF MINISTRY IN CHILE
Chile is a predominantly Catholic nation, however, the vast majority of people would consider themselves agnostic or “non-religious.” At the same time, a coldness has settled in evangelical churches where keeping the law has supplanted a deep and genuine love for God and others. People have lost the warmth of friendship and trust.
It is in this context that God has opened doors of ministry where we can come along-side of believers and non-believers and share the life giving message of God’s grace.
CHILE INTERNS WILL EXPERIENCE:
Cross-cultural training to prepare for working within a Latin American culture
Life in a Chilean host home where you are certain to become a part of their family
Gospel renewal, discipleship and equipping, so you can grow in your personal walk with Jesus as well as to be more effective in your personal ministry
Team building as well as exploring gifting and passions in ministry
Working along-side other missionaries and Chilean ministry leaders
Developing friendships with local believers and non-believers
Serving the people of Chile through practical service, friendship, and mentoring
Times of retreat and rest
Adventure and brisk weather – it will be their fall/winter
Love, friendship, great food, and spectacular scenery
Knowing Spanish is not a requirement, but having a foundational understanding would be beneficial

VISION
The team in North Africa exists to see the gospel of God’s grace move forward in North Africa through sharing the good news in the context of relationships, particularly through business for transformation.
OVERVIEW OF SERGE MINISTRY IN NORTH AFRICA
North Africa remains one of the world’s least-reached regions, with less than one-tenth of one percent of the population following Jesus. Despite an environment of spiritual oppression, a light is beginning to shine there. Christian workers have entered into local communities through entrepreneurial activities, teaching English as a second language, and teaching children in a variety of contexts.
Within the urban context of the capital city, the Serge team is committed to mentoring and developing future Christian workers for North Africa. Interns will walk alongside two-year apprentices and long-term team members as they serve the community in a variety of ways. Interns will develop cross-cultural relationships through homestays, camps, teaching English to university students, and meeting in cafes with friends in this warm North African context.
NORTH AFRICA BUSINESS AND ESL INTERNS WILL:
Be mentored in the gospel and cross-cultural work by staff with deep and varied experience
Learn Arabic in a classroom setting as well as through local relationships,
Grow in their knowledge and understanding of the region’s dominant religion
Join other interns to run English conversation clubs for local university students
Help the team to run a week of English camp for local children in Grades 3-6,
Observe and participate in the development of local transformational businesses
Engage with other local North Africa interns in the computer science field with the opportunity of assisting with programming if qualified.

“ Bhale Phatharia London MAA! ”
– Gujarati for “Welcome to London!”
Gujarati – one of the many languages you might hear spoken in this global city. London is perhaps one of the most diverse cities in the world. Serge has been active in London for more than 20 years, establishing church plants that seek to celebrate, share, and enjoy the gospel of Jesus in culturally understandable ways. London Interns serve with Serge workers in one of four communities:
HARROW
Serge partners with British South Asian leadership in Harrow to establish a service (seva)-orientated, culturally-understandable group (sangat, ‘ekklesia’) of Jesus-followers (Isu bhaktas) in the British South Asian context of North West London. Immerse yourself in the Hindu and Jain culture while seeing and being part of the shifting dynamic of first- and second-generation South Asian immigrants create a home in London.
SHEPHERDS BUSH
Serve in the Shepherds Bush community where London meets the world. New City church planted here is a dynamic and diverse community often representing over eight different cultures on a given Sunday. It is a culturally and economically diverse urban area in west London. Shepherd’s Bush has pockets of prosperity, a significant amount of poverty, and loads of diversity. Join with their outreach, service, homeless ministry, kids clubs, and more.
NORTH LONDON
Serve the North London community of Muswell Hill in a friendly independent evangelical church. The church seeks to serve their neighbors through job club, free legal advice, children’s programs and regular worship and Bible study.
SOUTH WEST LONDON
Serve at a small, multi-cultural church in a large government housing project in South West London. We emphasize contextualizing the Gospel for all the different kinds of people living in deprived areas in the UK. Join in door-to-door outreach, children’s activity outreaches, discipleship, Bible studies, and serving on Sunday with cooking, setting up and tearing down, drinking lots of tea, and chatting with people.
ALL LONDON INTERNS WILL:
Develop cross-cultural skills and receive personal mentoring and discipleship
Support the work of a local church
Gain a deeper understanding of the local culture and how that is expressed in church life
Take part in Bible studies/small groups
Visit local families
Hear amazing stories of how God draws people to Himself out of the most unlikely situations.
Depending on community of service, London interns may also:
Assist with the week-long London Evangelism and Prayer Conference (LEAP)
Work in a local thrift store (Asha Shop) that seeks to share the gospel in word and deed
Be involved with community-based youth work
Help with parent toddler
Share the love of Jesus through street outreach
Helping to run Kid’s Clubs in the local community
Serving in various mercy ministries
Help with church worship music
Successful interns are usually curious about other cultures, have the courage to enter into unfamiliar situations, are willing to build relationships with people very different from themselves, and are passionate about the local church and community. Adventurous taste buds are definitely a plus!

Vision for London
We hope to see movements of churches peopled by followers of Christ who are Kingdom-minded, open-hearted, and practically skilled, whose involvement is contextualized, sacrificial, joyful, and sustainable.
A Multi-Cultural Hub
London is a vibrant multi-cultural city. Since World War II, millions of poor immigrants representing every populated continent have settled here. A few find a haven but most get a hard-knock financially strapped capital. London’s churches, emptied by the despair following World War I, are weak. Serge’s Apprenticeship seeks to equip and disciple new generations of leadership for desperately needed, kingdom-minded, grace-centered churches here in London and beyond.
The History of the Apprenticeship in London
In the year 2000, Serge admitted its first class of apprentices and soon thereafter began to also train local believers. In 2009, the program moved from Dublin, Ireland to London, where Americans join Brits and other internationals for a one to two year practicum in cross-cultural ministry. By supplying much needed short term workers, we seek to support a growing movement of new churches that serve Christ’s mission of reconciling the world to Himself. At the same time, we’re dedicated to giving our apprentices a solid missional framework, training in practical skills, and support as they transition into cross-cultural and full-on service. We also help them to see how personally laying hold of the Father’s love leads to active kingdom service and freedom to rest. We are learning, along with them, what it is like to lay down our lives for Christ in postmodern Europe.
Our Work
Equipping young leaders from many national, ethnic and cultural contexts.
Supplying like-minded church plants with short-term help.
Healing cultural breaches by practicing the love of Christ amongst ourselves.
Teaching apprentices to search the scripture and preach the Gospel to themselves and others daily.
The Serge business teams in North Africa focus on reaching Arabic-speaking populations with the gospel of God’s grace. Our desire is to see new believers raised up in areas where so little of the Lord’s light is recognized. We want to see the church grow in North Africa and foster relationships through development activities and Business for Transformation (B4T).

Spain and Beyond
The Serge team in Southern Spain, is focused on reaching out to immigrants and university students with the gospel of God’s grace. Our hope is to see new believers raised up from this part of the world where so little of His light is recognized. We want to see Him build His Church among them, both in Southern Spain as well as in their home countries.
Apprenticeship
What’s the profile of an apprentice in Spain? In a nutshell, apprentices join our team for 20 months to be front-line learners, risk-takers, friendship-builders, and proclaimers of the good news. They provide much of the life and energy that propel our ministry outward and onward. And what do we hope Apprentices experience? The reality that God loves them with a love that propels risky living and bold proclaiming of the Gospel of God’s grace. What does that look like? It’s a mix of believing, learning, loving, and serving.
Believing
The gospel teaches us that we are not what we do, but that we have been given a new identity in Christ. The living God has brought us into a relationship with Himself and called us His children. This has many powerful consequences and benefits. The challenge to the apprentice is to believe this and allow it to change him or her.
Learning
One of the best tools an apprentice can bring is a learner’s posture. Priceless lessons await the apprentice in areas such as prayer, gospel-driven ministry, ministering out of weakness, life in community, evangelism, and the power of the gospel for everyday life. Apprentices will have the chance to explore these and other themes in the context of one-on-one mentoring, group training times, and daily living and ministering side-by-side with teammates.
Loving
As a team, we desire to step into the midst of the mess with the hurting and lost and lead them to the One who can heal and rescue them. We can do this only if we realize that we are broken and hurting people who have been healed and rescued by Jesus ourselves. Thus, the call to the apprentice – along with the rest of the team – is to throw himself upon the Father and to risk and love boldly out of the resources granted to us by His Spirit. We love because He first loved us!
Serving
Apprentices join something that is bigger than they are as individuals. They come into the context of a team and a greater community of believers with whom they are called to serve. This will often mean putting aside personal desires and needs in order to serve the bigger purposes and vision of the team and its ministry. This can only be done if we are secure in knowing who we are in Christ.
