Door of Faith hosts church groups, mission teams, schools, families, and individuals. Some visit for a day; others stay for a weekend or a full week and serve onsite or throughout the surrounding community.
Groups are hosted, oriented, and matched with service that fits current needs and their abilities.Day visitors must schedule in advance. Normal visiting hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Your visit begins with a tour and ministry orientation before time in public areas or an approved service activity.
Extended groups are matched with an appropriately sized campground or guest house. Lodging is currently $20 per person per night, and a Door of Faith volunteer serves as the group's host.
Visitors support the extras and projects that local staff may not have the time, skills, or budget to complete. They do not replace staff in the orphanage's daily caregiving work.
Construction, concrete, roofing, painting, landscaping, gravel, technical maintenance, and approved house builds may be part of a team's work.
Teams may prepare a meal, play sports, read Spanish books, or lead crafts, games, and activities that have been approved in advance.
Groups may participate in house builds, children's programs, local churches, food distribution, or service alongside trusted ministries in nearby communities.
