Discipleship Training

Mission: The Christian, non-denominational, discipleship training program is our primary 

objective at Casa de Maná campus. The completed campus accommodates 16-20 

selected interns and will include a structured syllabus of Biblical teaching and prayer. 

On-the-job training will happen both on-site, as well as with our partnering ministries 

in the area. The setting is intimate, and the experience will be team-oriented.

Program Timelines: Programs will be offered for summer sessions, semesters, and full

year. Interns can expect to be placed in positions that best accommodate the individual’s 

skills and desires.

Serving Opportunities: Some of the opportunities will include serving at orphanages,

children’s ministry, medical ministry, poverty ministry, home-build ministry, migrant ministry, 

food and guest services, maintenance, and many others. Interns will split

their time serving off campus at other ministries and then returning to share with the

other Casa de Maná residents. Interaction with numerous ministries and members of

the community provides a healthy mix to better build each other up as everyone deals 

with the many challenges, struggles, and blessings of serving in ministry.

Teaching: Teaching will be provided primarily by elders, but the interns will also be given

opportunities to teach and build leadership skills. Missionaries and spiritual leaders from

around the world will be invited to teach and share their experiences to provide more

awareness to our interns of what opportunities are available and what those positions

entail.

Accommodations: Accommodations are similar to college dormitories with a single

building housing four individuals, divided in two with two people to a bathroom. Meals

are served at the central lodge and eaten together.

Regular Schedule: A routine week will include five days of full-time service, with

Saturday as a personal day and Sunday for worship. There are numerous churches to

attend on Sundays.

Holidays: Dates for varying holidays will be determined at the beginning of the program.

Although there are no set rules related to receiving time off for travel or contingencies,

the leadership will prioritize ensuring that the commitments each individual makes to

their respective ministry are fulfilled.

Excursions: Interns can expect a number of excursions to be scheduled during their time

at Casa de Maná. These many short trips are intended to allow the individuals the

opportunity to get to know one another better and to take breaks from the routine of

serving. Some of the opportunities will include kayaking, surfing, hiking, off-road vehicle

riding, whale watching, and cultural trips.

Costs: Individual’s who are accepted into the internship program should normally expect

to receive full funding for living expenses. This includes lodging, utilities, and food.

Transportation is covered by the individual.

Post-Graduation Opportunities: The programs are intended to build up and equip the

next generation of disciples. Regardless of where the Lord leads you upon completion of

our programs, the experience and training will better prepare you in your next

endeavor. Some will choose to stay on in northern Baja, some will return home, and

others will go off to more distant locations. It is our hope that our interns will dedicate

themselves to a life of service with a desire to fulfill the great commission regardless of

where that may be.

Long-Term Serving:

Opportunities to serve long-term will be available at Casa de Maná. Long-term residents

can serve roles on site such as project director and caretaker. Long-term residents can

also be engaged in full-time service with other ministries. Regardless of where each

long-term resident serves, they will be a part of the family and be able to participate in

the community-based areas of fellowship, prayer, teaching and breaking bread. Living at

Casa de Maná is an intimate experience designed for those who wish to share their lives

with other believers as they serve. Please contact us for more details.
