What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Where: La Ceiba, Honduras                

When: Team trips and internships can be scheduled any time of year with approval

With whom: Carlos Graugnard and Ana Cajiao 

Q & A with ARABU Coordinators Carlos and Ana:

1. What are some ministry tasks that you want the intern/short-term team to accomplish while serving with you?

  • Plug into our kids’ program, women’s program, or youth program during the week 

  • Support the improvement of the facilities on our property according to the need when the intern is with us, such as construction duties, painting, gardening and so on

  • Help us with our agricultural program which includes aquaponics

2. What would a typical day look like?

It is important to prepare for non-typical days since our ministry is alive within the community and the families we serve and therefore we usually have unforeseen situations to address.

Having this in mind, in a typical day we travel from our house to the Community Center or to the community to do the work for that specific day somewhere around 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. depending on the day. We all will have our responsibilities for the day and then will come back home around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. Usually on Mondays we stay home to pray together, prepare the agenda for the week, the material and all the planning required for the week.

The agenda always includes devotional time, visiting the community school, prayer walks and walks to visit people, our kids’ program on Saturdays, women’s program on Wednesdays, office time, and improvement projects around the community center such as gardening, construction, and others. Besides these regular rhythms, some weeks we have different types of workshops to coordinate and facilitate with the people of the community.

Specific skills an intern/short-term team member may expect to develop by the time their service is completed:

  • How to prioritize their time with God, before serving and working

  • How to serve among the poor in a rural area with limited resources

  • Techniques and healthy ways of working with kids at risk

  • Basic agriculture and aquaponics skills

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals

We seek to please Christ, the Builder and Head of the Church, by conducting our ministries closely with local churches for the advancement and building up of the Body of Christ with the view that all believers will grow in maturity becoming more and more like Christ with the hope that some become pastors, evangelists, teachers, and others cross-cultural missionaries (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:4-16)

Training debriefing
If the participant is going for less than six months, they will receive mentoring and coaching by someone on our Mobilization Team and also work through pre-field reading material and assignments. If the applicant is going longer than six months, they will participate in an in-person orientation and a separate in-person cross-cultural training course before deploying to the field. They will also have to be able to communicate in Spanish, so Spanish classes recommended. All participants will have a debrief interview with the person from our Mobilization Department who mentored and coached them before and during their time of service. They will also be asked to fill out a post-trip evaluation form to help them process their experience and next steps and provide our home office and field missionaries helpful feedback for sending future short-term workers.
