I have grown in my faith to know God can use anyone for His work. You don’t need fancy things to share the Gospel! - Sydney Vander Pol

Since 1999, Harvest Hands Ministries has touched lives for Christ in Mexico. Harvest Hands Ministries’ vision is to create a loving environment where the poor and destitute people of Mexico may find comfort and solace both physically and spiritually through our various programs with an emphasis on the needs of children. Currently our focus concentrates on the Resplandor De Vida Children’s home located near the City of Juarez, Mexico.

A faithful partner of JFA for 20+ years!

General Schedule for Harvest Hands Trip

  • Saturday: Arrival Day

    On this day, everyone will get settled in and spend time getting acquainted, going over schedules, etc. A ministry representative will also welcome you and do an orientation.

  • Sunday: Worship, Exploring, & Fellowship

    We will be joining a local congregation for worship during the morning service. You will have an opportunity to experience a worship style different from what you’re used to! This is an enriching experience as we see there are many ways to worship. Your team leader may also plan a tour, a visit to a museum; have a speaker from the ministry or local community, or other experiences for the purpose of learning about and understanding the neighborhood/community where you will be spending the week.

  • Monday-Thursday: Project, Bible Study & Learning Together

    Each day will begin with team devotions. Mornings and afternoons will be spent on the work sites your group will be assigned to.

  • Friday: Wrap-Up & Farewells

    Friday mornings are used to finish up projects, pack up, and clean the volunteer facilities.

 *Arrival and departure days may vary pending flights and other travel situations*
