Skills
Radius short-term staff volunteers will care for children during class hours (M-F, 8:00 am – 12:00 pm), with some other “as needed” childcare during afternoons, evenings and weekends. She will also prepare daily lesson plans for the children, help facilitate parent-led homeschool assignments, and maintain and clean the childcare areas. Other responsibilities involve helping with evening and weekend meals, upkeep of guest rooms and assisting with hosting visitors, along with other occasional tasks and opportunities.
What We Will Do
At Radius we believe that you “practice how you play.” Our training program is located in Mexico so the students learn in a foreign culture. We want both spouses to receive the same training, so we are looking for childcare workers who we call short-term-staff (STS). We are asking God for young women who love Jesus, and who enjoy working with children, to serve the student and staff families. This is an exciting opportunity to participate in God’s plan to reach the world by enabling parents to focus on their training by taking care of their children while they are in class!
In addition, short-term staff will also learn more about God’s heart for the nations, the Spanish language and the Mexican culture. Short-term staff live on campus in a dorm room with roommates. The daily work schedule is somewhat flexible, so STS may complete one or two online college or Bible courses while at Radius. In addition, Radius staff will recommend specific reading or “assignments” as part of our discipleship care for short-term staff. This will be arranged on an individual basis and we anticipate this will be a valuable component of the time spent on our campus. Also, when possible, short-term staff will be given the opportunity to sit in on classes to learn more about church-planting among unreached people. STS often have the opportunity to accompany students or staff on cultural outings.
