There are many ministry opportunities available for singles, married couples, and groups ranging from short term (anywhere from a week to a year) to long term (longer than one year).

Contact hismissions@gmail.com or call us in El Salvador at 011-503-2-220-8501 for more information about any of the following opportunities:

  • Be the mom and pop for those kids who have graduated from our high school and who have left the orphanage to go on to university or work in the Capital, San Salvador.  We want to establish a home for them there because they either don't have a home, or their relatives live too far away in the country for them to commute to the University or a job.
  • We need missionaries to work with different age and sex groups of children in the orphanage.  Our 70 or so kids are boys and girls from cradle to 19 years old.  
  • We need English teachers, art, Bible, and physical ed teachers for our school.  
  • Our outreach to gang members is called "Nehemias Project" (Project Nehemiah), and we need missionaries who can lead gang guys to the Lord while they're still in prison, or in some other circumstance, and help get them through a job training course so they can get jobs.  It might even involve creating jobs for them, such as starting a little business.  The government helps us with this program.  
  • Our non-denominational church has just doubled its sanctuary, so we can accommodate more congregants.  Evangelism in our area would help accomplish that and also get more people into the Kingdom as well as the building.  We need more adults to help with the church and Sunday school services, in teaching, preaching, music and worship.  
  • There is a community of desperately poor people near our campus where there are a lot of undernourished children, and we feed them and give them the gospel.  Our kids get everything they need, and we want them to learn how to serve others, and to help people who have less than they do, so our teenage girls cook hot meals, our boys serve the meals, and the kids also give a gospel message to the children in that community.  
  • Focus on the Family asked us to reach school children in this country with their program of "Sex, the Lies and the Truth", and we need missionaries who can help us teach this message in the 5000 public schools.  We have the blessing of the Minister of Education to do this, and we are having phenomenal results including thousands of pledges of celibacy until marriage and hundreds of commitments to Christ through the various teams we already have trained.  
  • Our Christian literature distribution ministry is thriving, but we do need a Christian Bookstore type sales manager.  
  • There is an important program out of Miami that provides all a church needs to start a Bible School in it's community.  We represent that organization, and we need a missionary who can head this up here as well as teach various sessions when all the Bible School teachers come together for training.  
  • We just purchased more land, where we will establish a community medical clinic, a home for AIDS victims, and handicapped kids.  We need missionaries help for these projects.  
  • Last but not least is our need for construction missionaries who can help maintain our facilities and build new ones, and drivers for our bus and vans.

FOR GROUPS:
Depending on the size of the team and the abilities of the team members, some teams are totally dedicated to one project, while some teams divide up and work on several projects or ministries at the same time.

Scheduling Dates for your Team
A $300 deposit is required to reserve dates, and applies to team's room and board.
Teams are welcome to come year-round. Youth teams often come in the summer months, and some teams come during the Christmas season, Spring Break, etc. Just suggest to us the dates of when your team wants to come, and we'll try to reserve them.

Room and Board for Missionaries Staying at the Home
The cost of room and board in the Home for Teams or Short Term Missionaries who come for less than 3 weeks is $20.00 per day. 

Length of Stay
Team trips usually range from one to three weeks in length. The longer your team is able to stay, the better chance you have of getting to know the children and staff at the children’s home. A longer stay also allows more opportunity for your team to see more of the country of El Salvador, as one day per week is scheduled as a free day for sight-seeing and shopping.

Team Size
The most that can be accommodated is 22 people. High school age and above is recommended. If younger than high school age would like to come, each should be screened for maturity to handle the different cultural and work conditions. There must be an adult over 21 to supervise every 5 team members 18 or younger. Families who come as a team can bring children of whatever age when the parent(s) are present. Those professing and demonstrating a born-again relationship with Jesus Christ and who have a flexible and willing attitude to serve the Lord are welcome. Persons with special needs such as those with restricted diets or who are physically challenged can usually be accommodated with prior arrangement.

Travel Documents
It is not necessary for U.S. citizens to have a visa or buy a Tourist Card anymore. Only a passport is needed to enter El Salvador.  Tourist cards can be obtained from the Immigration Desk in the San Salvador airport once your plane lands, and the cost is $10.00 (U.S. dollars cash) per person. It allows you to stay in El Salvador up to 90 days.
If you have minors participating on the team, you will need to have a notarized parent authorization letter from both parents to present at the U.S. airport upon your departure for El Salvador.

Training
Informational materials will be sent to the team to aid in the preparation of the trip. Also, upon the team’s arrival at the children’s home, there will be an orientation session to explain projects, policies, the schedule, to answer questions, etc.

Typical Team Schedule
The day starts with an early breakfast and then off to evangelize or work the rest of the day with lunch at noontime, and dinner in the evening. In the evenings, some teams lead the devotional time for the children. Sundays include attending a local Spanish church and free time with the children. Other days are set aside for the team to go shopping, sight-seeing, and the like. Sight-seeing opportunities include a visit to the beach, visiting the Mayan pyramids & ruins, shopping at the downtown market, or a visit to the town of Ilobasco known for it’s hand-made ceramics and pottery.

Daily team devotions or meetings are required.
