Dear Pastor,
We are very excited that your church is considering a building project. Thank God for ministries with a vision to expand in order to better reach their communities with the Gospel of Christ.
BBF Builders is a group of volunteers and full-time missionaries who help individual churches save hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in construction costs by providing expertise and labor in the building trades. Our missionary builders provide necessary organization and structure around which volunteers are coordinated. We can partner with a local congregation, assisting with nearly all of their construction needs. We don’t build the building FOR them but we help THEM build it. Can you imagine bringing volunteers from other churches to work on a building and the members of that project church not helping? Neither can we. Therefore, we request the involvement of the local congregation in projects we work on.
It is only through faithful financial support of churches that our construction missionary families are able to continue in this ministry. Some of our families have sacrificed their homes and live in RVs full-time. None of them have 100% of their needed support. If we help you on your construction project you will see, first hand, that they are very much worthy of mission support.
Our team can provide assistance with your preliminary planning, the planning and construction, or construction alone. Many headaches have been avoided on projects when we were involved in the preliminary planning stages. On the other hand, some major headaches could have been avoided on some of the projects we have worked on where we were not involved in the planning stages. We don’t claim to know any more than the next guy, but our team has nearly one hundred years of combined construction experience, much of which is church related. In whatever way we become involved in your project we hope to build a friendship that will last until the Lord takes us Home.
Many pastors have not considered how much time and effort will be required of them in a building project. Not only do we want to help you to be able to build, but to survive the process as well. Any construction project can be overwhelming at times. It should go without saying but, the more time the pastor and church put into praying and planning the smoother the project will go. Everyone wants their project done as soon as possible. However, from years of experience in this ministry, God's timing is always best.
The following are areas that you need to put much thought into:
We have men that can help with foundation work, concrete, framing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinkler systems, sound systems, alarm systems, finish carpentry, and general labor. Not every member of our team will be able to help on your specific project since we usually have several in progress at any given time. However, we will try to help you as much as possible. All of our construction missionaries have RV’s so they can stay at or near the building site. They also have their own tools within their specific trades.
The following is a list of things you can consider doing for us if we are able to help you with your church construction project. We are missionaries and our ministry is to help churches. Therefore, no one is going to demand that you meet these conditions. Some of the churches we have worked on could not afford to do all of these things, but they did what they could to help us. We believe open communication is the best policy and this is how you can be a blessing to us and to help us continue doing what we do:
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at any time. As we become involved with your project we need to look at your plans, location, and other items to see how we might be the most help to you. We have resources for certain materials at substantial savings, and can provide labor to accomplish certain tasks at significant savings. Experience has shown that we can usually save your church the greatest amount of money if we are included early in the planning process of your project.
In Service of The King,
Rev. Brent L. Anderson
