Scott, I just want to say thank you for allowing me to serve with Graceworks this summer. I pray that lives were forever changed and hope they will continue their spiritual walk with Christ. I know that my life has changed too! It is amazing to see how God uses ordinary people like ourselves to further His kingdom. In Matthew, Jesus commands us to spread the gospel throughout the nations, and I believe Graceworks is doing this, one by one! Every experience I have had while here, has strengthened me and humbled me and I know I am going home a better person than I was . Thank you again! Love ya!
WHEN? You may serve one or both sessions.
These dates include two day orientation time.
Session One: May 28- June 27, 2020
Session Two: July 2- August 1, 2020
We need help this summer caring for these 1300 mission volunteers
coming to Alaska to share Christ. Here are our needs: Session One staff should
arrive Thursday May 28. Session two staff should arrive Thursday, July 2.
1. Team Hosts. We work in 14 different local parks each day working
with disadvantaged kids feeding them lunch, hosting Bible school and
recreation. Each park needs a team host. This can be an individual or
couple. You will manage the weekly mission teams working in your
park.
2. Culinary Ministry Team. We house and feed our 1,300+ mission volunteers
at four different location so we need a lot of help.
3. Hospitality Director. We need a person or a couple to organize
the bedding/housing plan each week for the missions teams,
and daily housekeeping duties.
4. Motorpool Manager. Oversee fleet of over 25 vehicles, 11 cargo
trailers, 6 campers, shower trailer, and one airplane. Keep everything running
and scheduling of vehicles for mission teams and volunteer staff.
5. Adventure Director. Helping to lead voluntary hikes three mornings a week.
Helping teams do fun stuff in their evening free time. Help lead Saturday sightseeing.
6. Kids Lunch Program Director. Using our mission volunteers,
oversee the preparation and distribution of over 13,000 meals to
disadvantaged kids in local parks.
7. Shopper. Help buy food and supplies for cooks and also for the
more than 100 evangelistic park parties that we put on each
summer.
DETAILS: We don't pay a salary. Staff are responsible to get
themselves to Alaska. Once you get here, however, we feed you,
house you, and give you something to drive when needed. You are not an employee of GraceWorks/Global Partnership Ministries and we do not provide insurance. Hours are long and time off is short. However, it's a lot of fun and our staff keep coming back. You will be doing something significant! Generally we want our staff to be 20 or over, but we do make some exceptions. One perk is that we will give you a home base to stay up to four more days, and a free vehicle if you want to stay after you serve your four weeks.
