Do you have a heart for the people from a South Asian background? Are you willing to learn what ‘British Asians’ a fusion of South Asian and British cultures, means? Do you want to get to know them, share the Gospel and disciple young believers? You will serve with a church and alongside others in that community seeking to help South Asians meet Jesus and be part of a vibrant community of Jesus followers.
You must:
- be willing to serve the South Asian community and learn to communicate your faith in a way that they understand.
- speak English and be willing to learn some Gujerati
- have experience in sharing God’s love in an urban context
- love the people and pray for them
