“This book is a call to join the groaning of creation, and to trust in the triumph of the resurrection. It is a reminder that in the end, love does indeed win – but first love suffers with those who suffer.”

Intern with Us!
An internship with Servants is probably quite different to any other short-term mission exposure you have experienced before. This is because the emphasis is not so much on what you DO but on what you LEARN. The intention is that for a few weeks or months, living with a local family in a poor community, you will make a deep connection with the urban poor and allow God to open up a space in you to hear him afresh.
