As an assistant in this ministry you would come alongside other believers in feeding the poor and engaging in other tasks at a local homeless shelter. Your purpose would be to visit and encourage these souls in the darkest time of their lives.
We are looking for people with the following qualities: self-motivated, good listener, compassionate, considerate, resilient, hard-working, and makes new friends easily.
Training/experience in working with the homeless and/or gifting in mercy, encouragement, evangelism, teaching, service, or helps would be a plus (but not strictly necessary).

Our experience with this boy encourages us to keep smiling, to keep telling people that besides what the culture tells them – they are loved by God, not cursed, and their love is seen by their children.”
"If you are starting out on the language and culture learning journey or if you have been at it a while and are feeling tired and despondent, I encourage you to persevere. To stick with it and pray for strength to continue. Keep asking questions and keep learning about the culture," urges Beth.
