Construction, Farm and Housing Maintenance Couple - Sulphur Springs, TX
WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
Unique opportunity on a ministry-owned rustic farm with room and board for those in need of retreat, quiet time, or temporary housing.
We are looking for a couple or individual willing to help in any of our areas of need. Applicants need not be proficient in all areas, but a willingness to learn and flexibility are helpful. This is a rustic property without television or internet, although one could bring there own portable hot spot if needed. It may not be a fit for anyone dependent 24/7 on technology. The property is ministry-owned, and as such no alcohol or drugs are allowed.
Construction: We are in the process of building housing options for people in need. This work may include carpentry, plumbing, electrical, basic manual labor, etc.
The Farm: Our farm has goats, chickens, geese, and ducks. We also have two Great Pyrenees guardian dogs and a handful of barn and farm cats which are all friendly and love attention. We feed and care for these animals. There are also lawn and gardening jobs that vary seasonally. We have farm equipment and vehicles that require maintenance and general farm-related operation.
The Housing: We have a variety of bunk rooms, private room, guest house, and cabins that are under construction. We currently do not have RV pads, although they are in the planning. Men and women have separate bathroom and shower facilities. There are two community kitchens and a general community living area. These areas require assistance with cleaning, food prep, cooking, and organizing.
The church is a small country church located on the property. We also clean the church and grounds around it.
The position for a couple or individual is flexible for anyone wishing to volunteer for a week or several months. It is low key, rural, quiet, although there are towns 11 and 14 miles away for any necessities. Cooper Lake State Park is 4 miles away and does offer RV pads, swimming, camping, hiking, etc. We are located about an hour and 15 minutes NE of Dallas, about an hour south of Oklahoma, and about 1 1/2 from Texarkana.
