Host mission teams
Help visiting groups understand the property, schedule, projects, meals, and expectations for serving well.
Long-term volunteers
Live in the community and help carry the daily work.
Door of Faith is seeking humble, hardworking, teachable volunteers who can serve the children, staff, visiting groups, and one another over an extended season.
Long-term volunteers help host groups, maintain spaces, support daily operations, and serve faithfully in community.Current need
Two additional long-term volunteers.
Nathan and Tabitha have identified a need for two more volunteers who can commit for at least six months. A one-year commitment is preferred, with a 30-day trial period used to discern whether the placement is a healthy fit.
Who often serves?
Many volunteers are between 18 and 29, but age is not the defining qualification. Door of Faith is looking for people who are trustworthy, self-motivated, flexible, willing to learn, and able to live well in community.
Spanish and construction experience are helpful but are not required for every role.
What volunteers do
Support the work rather than replacing local staff.
Long-term volunteers help the ministry host groups and use their gifts where they are most useful. Their role is to serve alongside the Mexican staff, children, and volunteer team.
Support daily operations
Assist with maintenance, organization, transportation, hospitality, and the practical needs that keep the ministry running.
Use individual gifts
Serve through construction, administration, teaching, activities, communication, music, food service, or other abilities as needs arise.
Live in community
Build healthy relationships with local staff, children, other volunteers, churches, and the groups that come to serve.

- Support with the normal tourist-visa process used for the placement
What volunteers cover
Personal travel and living expenses.

- Gas and personal transportation expenses
- Mexican driver's insurance, currently estimated at about $20 per month
- Personal purchases, recreation, medical costs, and expenses outside the provided meals
The right posture
Come to learn before coming to lead.
Long-term service requires flexibility, maturity, healthy boundaries, and respect for local leadership. Volunteers must follow Door of Faith's child-safety, privacy, photography, housing, transportation, and community expectations.
Faith and character
Door of Faith is a Christian ministry. Volunteers should be prepared to participate in a community shaped by prayer, Scripture, worship, service, and the goal of helping children grow toward responsible Christian adulthood.
Child privacy
Photos containing children's faces must remain private and may not be posted publicly or on social media. Volunteers are expected to protect personal stories and identifying information.
