ServLife International is a movement defined by values of God’s kingdom, not programs built around human efforts and activities. The reign and rule of God should be made apparent to every person on the planet, despite their religion, race or socioeconomic status. We believe that issues of justice are inseparable from the good news that Jesus Christ came to proclaim. ServLife exists to take the gospel of Christ and the hope of a better, more just, world to the lives of people we touch. This happens through individual contributions of time, creativity, resources and dreams.
"Driven to My Knees"
By Adam Nevins, Executive Director
ServLife International
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me insufficient for that day."
That has resonated with me personally as of late. Not because things are difficult, but rather because they are busy and overwhelming. So much is going on at ServLife, and I find myself struggling to keep up. There is always more to be done, and I am easily overwhelmed these days. I am driven to my knees.
In this newsletter we want to give you a quick snapshot of all that is going on so that you are in the loop and can pray and support what God is doing. If you have any questions about any of this, always feel free to contact me personally at adam@servlife.org. Thank you for your prayers and support.

year!
