• Facility Care: Care and cleaning for the lodging facilities to ensure PPM groups leave places better than we found them, in addition to facility prep before team arrival and clean up after team departure.
• Translating: Help translate from Spanish to English and English to Spanish during church services, ministry time, and other conversations for host pastors, church members and team participants.
• Driving: Drive participants and other staff from site to site in rental vehicles (including 15+ passenger vans), ensuring safe transport for all.
