Summer Internship Opportunity

MTW Internship for the Church Planting Team in La Ceiba, Honduras:

The church planting and medical/mercy ministry team is looking for an intern to provide assistance with child care for the children of full time missionaries. The intern will provide assistance with a 2 1/2 year old and an 8 month old. This work will provide the parents of these children with great peace of mind and additional time to minister to the nationals. The intern will live in a private room behind the house of the family they are serving. Foreign language is not needed.

MTW is searching for someone for all or part of the summer.

If it wasn’t obvious in first reading, this official blurb refers to us, and the kids mentioned are obviously Lucy and Ellie. As we’ve begun to minister here in La Ceiba and experience life as a family, we’ve obviously had some limitations. We love having children here on the field and we try to involve them with our ministry as much as possible. They are a joy to us and others, but obviously they can’t do everything we do, and that is fine and good.

Looking ahead to this summer, we have ten short-term teams coming though here over a span of 3 months. We are excited about their work in our ministry, but needless to say it is going to be a busy summer. With full days, long hours, and ministry sites all over town, we will be run ragged, and here’s where an intern would come in. Some days our teams will be split up all over town, in need of a team member who knows the town, the ministries, and speaks the language. We’ll be working all day, morning to evening.

 

While a summer intern wouldn’t know La Ceiba or speak Spanish (necessarily), they would free up both Lindsey and I (Sean) to go out and work for extended periods of time. This obviously isn’t a job for everyone, but if you like kids and are interested in missions, it would be a great summer with a cool family (at least the girls) in a tropical environment. What’s not to love?

If interested, or if you know of anyone who is (individuals, families, churches, organizations, etc.) start off by shooting us an e-mail (smccann24@gmail.com) or giving us a call (704-365-3048), we’d love to hear from you.
