At this very moment , we’re launching an incredible new project in Slovakia!

Kendice Assembly of God is the only Protestant church ministering to the Roma people on the outskirts of this Slovak village. A permanent building will allow more Romas in Slovakia access to the gospel and a place to find hope in Jesus.This building will bring hope and the life-changing power of Jesus to the people on the fringes of Slovakia. The church is reaching their village and evangelizing the surrounding area. A new church facility will allow them to continue growing in their faith and building lasting hope in the lives of the Roma people in and around Kendice, Slovakia.

End of Year Giving Opportunities

Even in the face of heavy persecution…

Posted on December 14, 2023 by jimwellborn

Gripped with grief after his 18-year-old son suddenly died, Sunny’s* Buddhist family rejected him, as they blamed God for his son’s death. Heartbroken because of the loss of his son, Sunny couldn’t turn to his family for support, so he turned to the Lord and found comfort at Navinna Church in Sri Lanka.

Sunny is now a dedicated member of the church. He takes 100 gospel tracts from church each week to pass out on the train ride to and from work every day. He only makes $5 per day, but the Lord prompted him to donate a family heirloom gold necklace worth $1,000 to the church’s building fund. Even in the face of heavy persecution, Sunny stands firm in his faith in the Lord and continues to honor God.

Sunny and the entire Navinna congregation are all-in and fully committed to seeing the church finished…and need your help to make that happen.

In this morally broken world full of human suffering, the often suffering church is bringing hope to hurting people, like Sunny, who are drowning in despair and trapped in a cycle of hopelessness with nowhere to turn when they need hope the most.

That is when the generous Builders International community steps in to provide places where hurting people find lasting hope.

Each building you help build is an effective tool that can serve even more hurting people like Sunny. One of our end-of-year giving opportunities this year is Navinna Church.

Even in the face of heavy persecution, the Navinna Church has experienced significant growth. Finishing the church will empower this congregation in an area tightly controlled by radical Buddhist monks.

Your end-of-year gift will provide long-term residual impact for hurting people trapped in a cycle of hopelessness and despair with nowhere to turn.

Let’s Build Hope!

P.S. Thank you for considering an end-of-year gift to help provide places where hurting people find lasting hope!!

2023 End-of-Year—You Can Help Us Finish These Projects!

Posted on November 30, 2023 by jimwellborn

As you plan for your end-of-year giving this year, we want you to know that you can build hope for hurting people around the world!

You can help finish a Bible school, a church, or a children’s initiative project.

Bible School: 700 Cities Training Center, Poland

Seven hundred cities throughout Poland are without any evangelical church that preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ. 700 Cities Training Center will be the hub for training church planters to bring hope to these forgotten cities.

Church: Navinna Church, Sri Lanka

Children’s Initiative: Valley of Blessing Youth Camp, Bosnia

Sharing the gospel with anyone under 18 is illegal in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Valley of Blessing Youth Camp opens the door to reach young people and is now expanding to double its capacity!

These three projects are making a difference in the lives of hurting people all over the world. Your end-of-year gift ensures those suffering around the world have a place to find hope!

Project Launch: Timothy’s Abode

Posted on October 7, 2023 by jimwellborn

This new project launch is Timothy’s Abode, a missionary training center preparing Ecuadorians to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.

The name Timothy’s Abode goes back to when the apostle Paul recognized the value of developing Timothy into a more effective minister of the gospel. Paul carefully selected Timothy to work with him in the ministry, equipped him for ministerial tasks, empowered him for success, employed him in a challenging work environment, and communicated to Timothy the value of their relationship.

Many unreached communities in Ecuador have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ even once. Timothy’s Abode is helping Ecuadorians catch the vision of missions and empowering them to become missionaries.

Students receive a practical, seven-month, intensive training to grow their cross-cultural understanding and equip them in preparation for their missionary service. Classes include leadership development, spiritual formation, global micro-business for sustainability, and bilingual training that will empower them to go into the unreached areas of Ecuador and to the nations!
