Introduction
Build International Ministries is non-profit Christian mission organization, dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and building the Kingdom of God in the lives of people. Our Vision
To preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and see people saved, part of a local church, growing in Christ, and impacting their families, communities and nations. Who Are We?
We are a team of believers, committed to the cause of bringing the Gospel to those who have never heard. Our international team includes indigenous front line workers in Asian countries and support workers in Western countries. What Do We Do?
Evangelism:
The foundation of our building is salvation through Jesus Christ. It is the first priority of every person in our team to preach the good news of salvation to the unsaved and the unreached. We support indigenous gospel workers who do this full time, and also send out short-term Western teams for special outreaches.
Discipleship:
We continue building by supplying new believers with discipleship and teaching. We channel Christian materials in local languages to new believers, and link them up with other Christians for discipleship within the context of relationships. We also give teaching seminars on practical subjects at local churches.
Church Planting:
We believe that optimal spiritual growth and health for Christians is provided within the context of a local church. Our evangelism efforts in unreached areas are followed up by church planting. We send out church planting teams, providing support for indigenous pastors, and in some cases, build places of worship.
Marriage And Family
We provide practical teaching on marriage and family. We believe that strong families build strong churches. We emphasize that all Biblical principles learned as a Christian should begin at home, and that a Christian family may be the most visible witness a community may see.
Leadership Training:
We have "Life Training Centers" short term Bible schools- where potential national Gospel workers are taught practical, Biblical principles to help them win their world for Christ. This training includes both classroom teaching and "hands-on" experience, with both local and overseas instructors.
How Do We Work?
We preach and teach from pulpits and in our Centers, but mostly we promote a model of leading by example, and working along-side. We believe that "doing life" with people is the most effective way to find opportunities to impart Biblical principles within a practical context. The goal of the Build International team is to get involved in people’s lives, love and serve them in practical ways, and thereby find opportunities to build the Kingdom of God in their lives.
Statement of Faith:
We believe:
