Support : Volunteer
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Volunteers fulfill this beautiful scripture in a variety of ways through serving with The Servant’s Heart.
Individuals, churches, schools, students can all find a place at The Servant’s Heart.
H.O.M.E. teams (Hands On Mission Experience teams) visit our ministry sites throughout the year for a 9-day relationship building and life changing experience. Our training program prepares the teams for months before, both in the U.S. and on-site.
Because we are a holistic ministry, people in business, education, medical fields, lay church workers, pastors, mechanics, maintenance people are all needed at the servant’s heart.
College internships are available in a variety of academic disciplines, and we continue to work with the Concordia Univeristy system and other Christian universities to provide this unique cross cultural opportunity to their students.
Volunteers stateside help us to keep administrative costs at a minimum and provide a way to serve, even if you never see the dump up close and personal.
Whatever your calling…to pray…to give…to teach…to heal…to direct…to cook…to wash feet…God can find a place for you at the servant’s heart.
It is part of “those good works planned beforehand for us to do.”
We have named our volunteer program…transformed. It is what happens to our lives when we serve others. God takes our lives and transforms them…each to become what he desires us to be. We become god’s workmanship put into action.
And so The Servant’s Heart is a ministry of relationships…changed lives… transformed through his amazing grace.
Whether we serve as an individual, a school, a congregational group… for 9 days, one year, three years, or a lifetime, we bring those relationships to those we serve, we love because he first loved us.
Those who were poor in relationships now become rich through their relationships with so many of God’s family.
Their circumstances may look hopeless to the outside world, but they know of the hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus.
What they never had before…love… acceptance…fun…relationships…they now experience on a daily basis…as they become part of The Servant’s Heart…and prayerfully the church at large.
A very wise 13-year-old said that what she learned from her short term mission trip with The Servant’s Heart is this…
God’s church is not the building…it is rather God’s people.
What I have learned over all these years is this…
How very small the world really is…
But oh… how great is the church of God.
