A New Paradigm for Missions

Over the past 11 years, InterVarsity has been involved in an amazing new way to serve those in need and reach out to the college students furthest away from Jesus.  How do we reach skeptic or cynical people?  We grab arms and walk into the things that break God’s heart, as well as breaking the heart of all people created in God’s image.  We serve the poor, rebuild homes and lives, fight injustice and racism serving side by side and in the middle of it share Jesus.

Since 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, InterVarsity New England has sent over 6500 students to serve, 50% of whom were not Christian.  We call this ServeUP New Orleans or ServeUP Tampa.  Read on to find out about this new type of missions....
