Help Deliver the Message of Jesus to Millions of Children
Every year, Project Jesus for Children distributes millions of Bible-based books to students in public schools throughout Latin America. Behind every book delivered is a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time, energy, and talents to make it possible.
Whether you are packing books in a warehouse or driving them to schools in remote villages and busy cities, your service helps place the message of Jesus into the hands of children who may never have heard the Gospel.
Join us in being part of what God is doing across Latin America.

Drivers are a critical part of our distribution teams. Each day, volunteers transport books to schools, working alongside local Project Jesus staff to ensure every delivery reaches its destination.
