I am writing this on behalf of the Catholic Community of St. John. In Saltillo, Mexico they have an urgent need for missionaries. They have built 3 mission houses to serve the community in various ways. At the forefront, the Community sponsors children, from severely impoverished circumstances, by paying for their private education. This is done through donor donations. They are in need of missionaries to live in the houses and help the students with their schoolwork, since they are being given an amazing opportunity they would not have otherwise. The missionaries also visit families in the surrounding areas, to pray with them and to determine whether anyone is in need of dire help. For the most part, the missionaries do these house visits in order to be a good influence on children’s lives. The mission houses also provide medicine (with the presentation of a prescription) as well as a soup kitchen.
Currently, I am serving in Saltillo and have seen the amazing impact the missionaries have had on the community. It is important to note that, although I have given a general overview of what the missionaries do, there are various needs in the community that need to be filled. Missionaries do not necessarily work with the scholarship students or in the soup kitchen, everyone is placed according to their skills and abilities. Speaking Spanish is not a requirement, since there have been many volunteers who came and learned Spanish during their term of service.
Within the next 3 months all of the current volunteers, from all 3 houses, will be returning to their homes. As such, the situation is rather dire, and the community is in desperate need of new volunteers. Room, board, and food are provided. Basically, all your basic needs are met, and you only have to pay for your plane ticket here.
Please, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I researched and prayed about a variety of mission opportunities, and I am glad God led me here. Although I haven’t been here very long, I am having an amazing time and would hate to see the community suffer a lack of volunteers. Also, if you know of anybody that would be interested in coming, spread the word! If you are not in the position to volunteer, I ask for your prayers. God Bless.
