Mukesh comes from a Hindu family, but now is being raised to know Christ. He comes from an extremely poor family of laborers that could not care for him. They learned of the Arunoday Children’s Home in India from a pastor near their home. Mukesh’s favorite subject is English, in which he is doing very well. That will prove to be a very useful class if he continues to pursue his interest in becoming a doctor. Making firends is what he likes most about the children’s home. Read the rest of this entry »

One way you can get involved and stay informed of the work of ServLife is to strategically pray and intercede on behalf of our ministry and workers of ServLife around the world. The beginning of each month, a ServLife prayer calendar is posted that provides daily prayer points you can use to guide your prayer time.
Angie Simmons, from Indianapolis, IN, uses the calendar to pray for ServLife and stay connected to our work around the world. “The prayer calendar is a tangible way for me to pray. I’m grateful that I am able to pray for the specific requests as they make me feel more like a partner in what ServLife is doing in other countries,” says Simmons. “Praying for the staff and the leaders by name is important and knowing their stories also encourages me to tell others to pray. So as I sit at my desk in Indiana, I’m praying for what God is doing on the other side of the world - for real things - trusting that God will answer.”

Our staff page has been updated to better reflect the people who work with ServLife around the world. Further, you can read about ServLife’s board of directors and learn more of who to pray for. Click here to view
