WHY GIFTS MATTER


Since 1852, Interserve Partners have been serving in the hard places. Professionally, they help with the practical needs of their adopted country. Spiritually, they bring people of all nations into the body of Christ and into maturity. It is impossible for them to do this alone. They need you on their team, giving financially, in order to serve those in the countries where God has called them.

Your pledges are very valuable to our partners as it gives:

  • An indication of people who want to be on their giving team consistently
  • Lets our partners and appointees know what is their consistent level of support


Support

It is especially important for our appointees and partners, those who are raising support to go overseas for their first term. Appointees must raise pledges for their monthly support before they can go to their place of service. Your pledge of monthly, quarterly or yearly support will help them go to their place of service sooner.

 

Partners

We receive financial support for our Partners and credit it to their accounts. We operate a pooled fund, which allows us to pay their allowance, whether or not enough money has come in for them that month.

Financial Support covers expenses such as:

  • Living allowances, housing, and taxes
  • Medical, pension and professional fees
  • Language study for partners and schooling for their children
  • Ministry expenses, administration and pastoral care


On-Trackers (Short Term Partners)

An On-Tracker is one who has decided to do a short term of service (one month to one year). Support for On-Trackers provides Ontrack fees, passport, visa, medical insurance, for food, housing and other living expenses, immunization plus inoculations, travel papers and airfare to the country of service, any travel or activities that are part of holiday or other leisure time.

 

General Fund

The General Fund is primarily for the operation of Interserve Europe's headquarters office. Here, we serve you and our partners by supporting partners in all stages of their service. We also facilitate short termers and support our retirees.

Support for the General Fund provides funds that help cover the main office costs. This includes:

  • Processing applications, giving appropriate training, caring for them pastorally
  • Processing donations, sending out receipts, taking care of medical bills, doing tax returns, sending them their monthly support
  • Sending out Partner newsletters, postage, preparing prayer cards
