SERVE Nazareth
Come with us and SERVE in Jesus' Home Town!
Want to be a part of something bigger than yourself?
Mark 10: 45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
1) SERVE Nazareth
SERVE Nazareth has grown out of a vision to bring Christians from around the world together in service, to encourage the body of Christ in Nazareth and equip young people for future ministry. We believe that:
We look most like Christ when we SERVE
SERVE Nazareth participants will be put into local ministry placements where they will have the opportunity to encourage the body of Christ through service. We will also do various community service projects as an example of Christ's love in action.

2) Who is it for?
You!
SERVE Nazareth is a programme available for anyone over 18 years of age, who is committed to serving the Lord and has a personal relationship with Jesus.
3) Why is this different?
SERVE Nazareth gives you a unique opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself.
The programme combines ministry with community action and education, all in the context of Jesus’ home town and within a community which is passionate about seeing Jesus glorified.
The combination of opportunities provided by SERVE Nazareth allows you not only to gain experience of other cultures and beliefs but also to receive academic credit for your future studies.
4) Who will I be working with?
You will be working with other SERVE Nazareth participants, as well as volunteers and local staff. You will belong to a community here on campus that understands the importance of seeking Jesus on a daily basis. Belonging to the SERVE Nazareth community is an experience which will bring about growth in all areas of your life.
You will also work with the SERVE Nazareth Team members who are always available for your support and encouragement.

5) Where will I live?
You will live on the Nazareth Hospital campus. The apartments are split for male and female participants, and are spacious with a common room available. Apartments and rooms are shared and you will be sharing living space with other hospital volunteers as well as SERVE participants.
6) Where will I be working?
The quick answer is all over Nazareth!
Beginning at the hospital, participants will work together for a week in service. Getting involved in local churches and ministries of all denominations, as well as projects in the community, you will be working wherever there is a need!
You should be ready for anything as opportunities arise for us to SERVE Christ and others!
7) What will I be studying?
The courses currently being offered are through the BLESS programme run by the Eastern Mennonite Seminary.
The course offered for summer 2010 is “Cross Cultural Discipleship”. Other courses may be added as they are accredited and we will keep applicants posted with the possibilities!

8) How much time do I need to have available?
You can choose! SERVE Nazareth provides two programmes:
Our summer programme takes place over three months from June to August and our winter/spring programme goes over six months from November to April.
Before your time in Israel, we have designed an 11 week preparation course which will provide language, cultural and spiritual resources to help you prepare for your time here in Nazareth. This concludes with a final 12th week of preparation in the UK.
