Raising gospel workers for the 21st Century African Church. 

 

What is iServe Africa?
iServe Africa is an organisation that offers apprenticeship opportunities to fresh graduates with the goal of helping them to develop a deeper mission, vision and commitment to gospel ministry through participation in 1 -2  year placements in a local church, mission agency or christian organisation. 
It is a networking initiative that  aims at promoting gospel ministry through linking churches with fresh graduates in an Apprenticeship Scheme. The programme seeks to give young graduates opportunities of involvement in Christian ministry while contributing to their career development and supporting the ministry of the local church.

Ideally, the placements are cross-cultural and the apprentices learn from experienced gospel workers in a win - win situation where both the apprentice and the local church mutually benefit. The programme aims to give the participants new experiences expose them to local church ministry and help them to explore the needs and opportunities available in gospel ministry – all with a view to enabling them grow in their commitment to God and their future involvement in gospel ministry.

After their year, some might go into longer term mission work, some might seek ordination into church ministry, some might go into theological studies and some might go into the marketplace and bear witness to Christ there. Either way, the experience is life transforming, character building and disciple making.

Why Apprenticeships?

The need for gospel workers in Africa today cannot be over emphasized. The African church today has many diverse needs and chief among them is qualified workers to engage with the current generation through evangelism, community/social action, schools work, youth and children’s work etc.

There is a popular notion that the African Church is thriving. Many churches are full and this reinforces the impression that Africa is generally reached. 

 
The church has invested heavily in terms of time and money in evangelistic efforts such as public open-air meetings, person to person witnessing and several mass media programmes.
This has led to a glaring need for follow up and discipleship of the new converts. We seek to supplement her discipleship needs through faithful Bible teaching.

The greatest asset that the church has is young people. It is a documented fact that about 70% of the Kenyan population is under 30 years of age. It is therefore sad to note that many churches have no programmes specifically targeted to the Youth and young adults.  Many of them are unaware of existing opportunities in the church and community.

iServe Africa is seeking to engage this fresh graduates as apprentices and involve their training, gifting, talents, skills and abilities into gospel ministry for the benefit of the church and to the greater glory of God.
