Position Title:  Apprenticeship in North Africa Location:  North Africa FT/PT:  Full-time Deployment:  as soon as possible Length of Service:  24 months Responsibilities: Apprentices need to embrace a learner’s posture. Priceless lessons await the apprentice in areas such as prayer, language learning, ministering out of weakness, life in community, business, development, 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 with teammates. Most importantly, with growing fluency in Arabic, and significant cultural literacy, second year apprentices develop a plan for ongoing ministry in North Africa. Apprentices join a Serge team for 24 months and gain frontline experience by taking risks, building friendships and proclaiming the Good News.   Requirements and Critical Qualities: For those who have completed high school and two years of independent living No previous language study is necessary; a willingness to study Arabic is needed.

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.

Vision The Serge Uganda team seeks to live as vessels of the gospel restoring communities to bring worshippers to Jesus. We value prayer and partnership, investing in emerging Ugandan leadership. We work together to show the compassion of Jesus to the poorest of the poor. Overview of our Ministry in Uganda The Serge Uganda Apprenticeship program contributes to the larger team purpose of testifying–by word and deed—to the gospel of God’s grace to Ugandans in the Bundibugyo region of Western Uganda. We do this through discipleship and training in the local church and community. We are engaged in health outreach, medical care, clean water initiatives, nutrition programs, education and mobilizing laborers for the harvest. We look for apprentices who are flexible, enthusiastic, and willing to be uncomfortable.

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? Individuals who are followers of Jesus and are becoming Christ-dependent, Spirit-Empowered, and passionate for the Kingdom of God – both at home and abroad Those who are considering long-term international ministry. People who have completed high school and have two years of independent living behind them.  Ordinary Individuals who aren’t afraid to ask questions and are prepared to be stripped down of what they they they understand about themselves and the cultures they have been and will be involved in. Servant leaders who are desiring to be a part of a community and team that have a love for Nairobi and her people, and who want to see this city freed through the power of the Gospel. People who are willing to be flexible and have a learner posture. What to expect in a Serge Nairobi Apprenticeship Program?
