Love without Borders

Interserve is a Christian Mission organisation which works in many countries around the world focusing on those groups of people who do not yet know the love of Jesus, particularly people with Arab or Asian backgrounds.

It started in the 1850s as an organisation run by women who were inspired by their Christian faith to work in India, providing medical help to those in need there. At that time, most missionaries were sent from Europe and North America to countries in Africa, Asia and South America. However, the world has changed, and there are now many Christians in those continents, so how do organisations like Interserve work now?

 The love of Jesus is still needed in our world in a wide variety of situations. For example, many people suffer as a result of conflict and may have to leave their homes, becoming refugees. Interserve works with Christians from many countries around the world, including for example, those from Asia, who want to share the love of Jesus to transform lives wherever God sends them. It is now not only medical assistance that is offered, but also involvement in education and business. Our partners Helen and Jonathan work in the UK with some of the many people from an Arab or Asian background who have come to our country as refugees. They offer help and support as they try to cope with being in a strange country and share the love of Jesus with them.

Ashtead Churches Together (ACT)

Together with St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church and Ashtead Baptist Church, we worship and serve in the local community.

The Good Friday Pond Service is held just off Barnett Wood Lane, and the Remembrance Sunday Service by the war memorial is deeply moving. We celebrate our unity with an annual service.

Food is also important, with our monthly Men’s Breakfast, and the Ashtead Village Day Tea Tent.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’” Jesus

— Matthew 25:35-36
