Apprentices will work in a local church or non-profit ministry, with potential assignments in children’s/youth ministry, church-planting support, the creative arts, tutoring/mentoring, and more. They will participate in the Serge summer intern program. The Irish ministry placement will be primary in the experience of the apprentice and the relationship with Serge will be secondary. This allows for a significant immersion experience and has the benefit of deeper relationships and ministry in the host culture. Discipleship:  An Irish pastor or ministry leader will provide on-going discipleship within the context of the “job placement.” A Serge mentor will compliment this relationship throughout the year. The summer internship (8 weeks) will be under Serge leadership. Leadership:  Opportunities for leadership with both the summer internship and the year-round ministry placement will be abundant. There is a heavy emphasis on understanding biblical leadership and embracing the ways God has equipped all of us to influence others for the glory of God.  

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).   If you know someone who is interested, please send them our way (go@serge.org).  

To learn more about the Serge Apprenticeship program here: https://vimeo.com/197337234 The Nairobi Apprentice program is a 15 month program.   Ministry and Culture Approximately 3.5 million people live in the extremely diverse city of Nairobi. There are people from all over the world, from all faiths and economic statuses. One of the most unique aspects of city life is the juxtaposition of the modern world with old school traditions and ways. In a matter of minutes you will see new, bustling malls and highways with a traditionally dressed Maasai man herding his cattle across the road as well as mamas alongside the streets in little dukas selling bananas and everything else you can think of. Nairobi is home to one of the largest slums in the world, sitting right in the middle of new, expensive high rises and houses. You will hear a multitude of languages and experience a clash of cultures on every corner. This makes it an ideal location for apprentices to serve with an on-going Serge ministry while being immersed in the religions and cultures surrounding them. In light of this unique atmosphere, the team in Nairobi has the opportunity to bring the gospel to both unreached people groups and a church saturated culture. We seek to be living in constant dependence on Jesus, sharing his grace and bearing witness to the gospel to each other and those around us through transparent community and pursuing redemption in all things.   Who is Nairobi Apprenticeship Program for?
