National pastors. Church plants. An organized presbytery. A Christian school and Bible Institute. A StreetChild center.  As one of MTW’s earliest and most established ministry sites, Acapulco is a city clearly impacted by MTW missionaries and the gospel. Nevertheless, the needs remain great. Though Acapulco is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Mexico, many families live in poverty, some even lacking the means to care for their own children.
 
Even though many know the name of Jesus in this primarily Roman Catholic city, few have a clear understanding of what it means to be saved by grace through faith. The Maranatha Presbytery, the Maranatha Bible Institute, the New Horizon Christian Elementary School, and MTW’s StreetChild ministry are all actively serving the needs of the community, in word and deed, training believers in the truth of the gospel.

Teams are needed to share the love of Christ with about 50 children, ages 5-18, who live at Casa Hogar del Niño de Acapulco. Team members play a large role in the construction of new facilities for the children and staff as well as assist the workers at Casa Hogar with VBS, sports clinics, tutoring, life-skills training, and most importantly, loving the kids. Teams are housed and fed on site. This ministry opportunity is great for small groups and families.
