Serving in the Middle East

Commissioning

There are many opportunities to be sent out to the Middle East as a volunteer by the Near East Ministry. Our workers are mainly involved in ministry among the marginalised, such as people with disabilities, children and elderly, or ethnic minority groups. We have been serving alongside Jewish and Arab organizations for more than 50 years. Our heart is to serve the local population and the needs of local partners is our starting point to find work assignments for our volunteers.

At the moment we have approximately 20 workers (some with their families) on the field who are sent out by Near East Ministry. Their work varies from childcare, elderly care, reaching out to migrants and refugees, nursing, teaching and supporting local businesses. Near East Ministry sends out short- and long-term volunteers.
