Job Description

Exploring and creating ways for the church to effectively serve the city — reaching out in favelas (slums), cleaning up neighborhoods, throwing parties, creating after-school programs for kids, tutoring English, etc.

• Show the love of Christ wherever you are, whatever you do.
• Be adaptable. Be as flexible as possible to adapt to change and be positive with it.
• Be teachable and willing to step out of what is comfortable. Come prepared to learn from this experience and have God stretch you.
