Construction Missionary Application

Dear Prospective Missionary Builder,

We are sincerely excited that you have expressed interest in our wonderful ministry. Without a doubt, this is the most rewarding thing my family and I have ever done. Understand however, there are difficulties living in the confined quarters of an RV and being on the road full-time, but there are blessings as well. God’s divine call yields His divine grace to do what we do.

Before we consider you a part of our team there are a few things we need:

A minimum of two weeks working as a volunteer on the job with our team.
A completed information questionnaire. Please contact us for a blank copy of the form to be completed.
A signed letter of recommendation from your Pastor.
A signed confirmation of your Christian character from your Pastor.
As a full time BBF BUILDER, you must be commissioned and officially sent out by your church. As the application process continues, your pastor must provide us with a copy of the minutes of a service where your church commissions and sends you out as official construction missionaries of that church.

NOTE: This is not an ordination service. Church construction missionaries do not necessarily need to be held to the same biblical qualifications as those individuals who are ordained into traditional ministries. Building construction is much different from being a pastor, teacher, or deacon. Christian character is a minimal requirement, however.

As a full time BBF Builder you will be under the auspices of the National Church Planting Office (NCPO) which is part of the Baptist Bible Fellowship. Our livelihoods are dependent upon our reputations; therefore, we cannot afford to allow an individual or family to destroy what we have worked hard to preserve. We don’t require “sinless perfection” from anyone. We do believe, however, that it is not asking too much to maintain a high level of Christian integrity and character within our team of builders.

As a missionary builder you will have opportunities to speak in churches. There will be times you will be giving a brief testimony, telling about your ministry, or perhaps even being the featured speaker in a church service. When you do so, please use only the authorized King James Version of the Bible. It doesn’t concern us which Bible version your sending church uses or what you use in the privacy of your own home; however, what you do in public affects all of us as BBF Builders. Many churches are highly offended at the use of any Bible version other than the authorized KJV. As a member of BBF Builders you represent a team whose livelihoods are at stake. Therefore, please don’t betray the trust of your team by using a Bible version other than the authorized King James Version, not even the New King James Version. It is just not worth the consequences.

If you have any questions, or need clarification about anything mentioned or not mentioned in the paperwork enclosed, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be glad to assist you any way we can.

In Service of The King,

The BBF BUILDER Families
