My Village Ministries

God has called each of us to love and come alongside the orphan, suffering and poor. This ministry is tangibly doing just that and we are excited to come alongside them in their Gospel mission. Please read about the roles below and pray for the Spirit to lead in how you can serve.

Why does My Village Ministries exist? 

My Village Ministries (MVM) seeks to come alongside families in crisis and provide community and support to help them get to the other side. We do this by placing children with host families for a short period of time, providing coaching and training for parents, and welcoming those who are isolated into a Christ-centered community.

Key Roles in MVM

Ministry Lead
The team of 2–4 people who coordinates the partnership between My Village Ministries and your church. The Ministry Lead team is the key recruiter, liaison, and advocate for the hosts, coaches, and mentors from your church.

Host Family
Providing a home for the children in a hosting. Host families play a critical role in building and fostering relationships with the referring parents. Average length of hosting is 1–2 weeks.

Community Coach
Providing coaching, encouragement, and mentoring for referring parents. You work closely with the host family to make sure the children being hosted are safe and well.

Mentor
Walking alongside a school-aged child that is being hosted. Meeting with your mentee regularly as a consistent and encouraging influence in their life — not just during a hosting, but for a year after reunification.

Care Community
The wrap-around support for host families. Babysitting, supplies, meals, transportation, gift cards, cards of encouragement — removing obstacles so the host family can focus on caring for the children and parents in crisis.
