Enjoy being part of God's story in Honduras, serving at ARABU Community Center. Let's love and serve families together from a very poor and rural village. Preaching Christ and the Gospel in our daily life is our passion and aim while we also coordinate some holistic programs within the community.

Q & A with ARABU Coordinators

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 projects, 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, 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 kid's program on Saturdays, women's programs 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.

3. Please list 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.
