Serve
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:10).Middle East Fellowship is asking all of its supporters to find an appropriate opportunity to serve-either by serving as leaders and organizers within their own local communities or by serving the peoples of the Middle East through overseas volunteer projects. We offer a variety of opportunities for men and women to serve in effective, meaningful and culturally appropriate ways.
Volunteer in the Middle East
Ever thought of teaching English in Palestine? Or helping Egyptian schoolchildren develop their inner artist? You can! Middle East Fellowship helps match volunteers with NGOs, nonprofits and churches throughout the Middle East.
Our "peak season" for volunteerism is during the summer when students, teachers and many others are available for two to four months to spend overseas. We have two programs in the summer for volunteers seeking to serve in the Middle East for a month or more:
Palestine Summer Encounter
The "Summer Encounter" program is a 1 to 3 month volunteer opportunity in Bethlehem, Palestine. Participants study Arabic, live with a local family and work side-by-side with local schools, churches and nonprofts. Click here to read more...
Damascus Encounter
The Damascus Summer Encounter is a service learning and cultural immersion program for participants of all ages and nationalities. Participants volunteer with a local church, school or nonprofit; study Arabic through the Berlitz program; meet with local community and religious leaders; and explore the region through weekend trips to cities and sites of historical and cultural significance.
