THE COACHELLA VALLEY HOUSES

Generous benefactors have donated four beautiful 7-bedroom homes in Coachella Valley to Olive Crest to serve vulnerable children and families-in-crisis.

Olive Crest will equip and empower Coachella Valley churches to establish Care Communities to support the missionary parents, children, and families.

Together we can stop the cycle of abuse and transform family trees in Coachella Valley. These homes can be beacons of Gospel-proclaiming hope and love.

THE CARE COMMUNITY MODEL

Churches Serve as Care Communities for Missionary Parents & Vulnerable Children

THE MODEL

Proven, Sustainable & Scalable

A Care Community is an engineered team of committed volunteers, much like an extended family, who serve the missionary parents and children who live in the homes. They also care for the children’s struggling families and seek to rescue them from isolation.

This faithful team provides regular and ongoing emotional support, spiritual encouragement, and practical help (e.g. tutoring, childcare, transportation, laundry, yard work, healthcare, etc.)

WHO LIVES IN THE HOMES?

Up to 8 DISPLACED CHILDREN

Displaced and vulnerable children from the Coachella Valley Area are placed in the home. Olive Crest and Care Community leaders work with the County’s local agencies and biological families to determine each child’s needs. Children may be placed in the home for weeks or years depending on their situations.

QUALIFIED Missionary Parents

Olive Crest extensively qualifies a Christ-centered, experienced married couple who have a proven track-record for loving and serving children and families in need. These couples will live in the homes with the children and be on the front-line of the Kingdom work happening in the Family Circle Homes.

HOW IT WORKS

It’s Only Possible When Coachella Valley Churches Serve…

FAMILY HELPERS

Family Helpers usually serve by providing a meal once per month, delivered on the same day if the week and the same week of each month. Additionally, these volunteers can run errands, assist with homework, do yard work, and help with other practical tasks to support the family.

TEAM LEADERS

The Team Leader provides leadership for the Care Community. This volunteer contacts the family weekly and sends out a weekly email updating the team on prayer requests. This role can be uniquely filled or combined with any of the above roles.

CHILD MENTORS

A Child Mentor provides childcare or transportation 1-3 times per month as needed. This is a unique opportunity to pour love and encouragement into these vulnerable children. This role sometimes requires background checks in order for volunteers to spend time unsupervised with children.

INTERIM GIVERS

The Team Leader provides leadership for the Care Community. This volunteer contacts the family weekly and sends out a weekly email updating the team on prayer requests. This role can be uniquely filled or combined with any of the above roles.
