Servants Canada is the main office for Servants in North America.  The team is building on the work and relationships of one of the members of the Servants eldership, Charles Ringma, who most recently has been Professor of Missions at Regent College. This is what we are working towards:

• Regionally: Creating a hub for Servants ministry in and from North America, grounded in a prophetic lifestyle and grassroots work in the inner city, but with a global vision. We run training courses in urban mission, speak at churches and festivals and mentor people towards mission who have a calling to the urban poor.  Our aim is to blur the line between "home" and "field" in missions, creating a sense of flow between Asia and the West.

• Globally: Speaking up on behalf of the 2/3 of the world’s poor who live in Asia. Advocacy on behalf of Asia’s urban poor is an important aspect of our calling, and what better place to do so than in a city where at least one in four trace their family to that continent. We are passionate about contributing an international vision of God’s heart for the urban poor to the local church and Christians in Vancouver and beyond.  Join us on Tuesday nights for our Creative Justice advocacy group.

Servants Canada is grateful for the generous donations of individuals, churches and other organizations. We are a registered charitable organization and issue receipts for income tax purposes. If you would like to financially support the work and life of Servants in Downtown Eastside Vancouver or the slums of Asia, you can send a cheque to our Vancouver office or donate online through CanadaHelps.org by clicking on the link below.  For monthly donations we prefer to set up a direct debit from your account which minimizes bank fees.  Contact the office if you are interested in setting that up (its very simple) - 1 800 605 4630.  Thanks!
