If you are a mission-minded, husband and wife team who loves working with children and youth, you might make a fantastic houseparent in one of our residential cottages.
"You build a relationship with them and you have a bond just like we might with our own kids. You see them accept Christ and then you have an eternal bond with them. You know many times you are just sowing seeds but when you get to be a part of the harvest, that’s really sweet.”
