Obie retired after 25 years with the Civil Service and 28 years with the Air Force National Guard in Fargo, North Dakota. Upon retirement, we moved to Gulfport, Mississippi. We became active members of Bible Baptist Church with Jim Stady as our Pastor. Obie accepted the Lord as his Savior in 1994 and Kitti in 1967. Even though we attended church faithfully, there seemed to be something missing in our lives. We wanted to serve the Lord, but we felt like there were other ways to serve than just attending church and volunteering for different projects. We had heard about the BBF Builders through our church. It seemed the more we prayed and asked God to use us in a mighty way, the more He laid the BBF Builders on our hearts. After much prayer, we had total peace that God was leading us in this direction. We talked to Pastor Stady. He listened to us, prayed with us, and gave us his blessing about God’s leading and our decision. We then put our house on the market. At that time, the real estate market was at an all time low. There were houses in our neighborhood that had been up for sale for 3-4 years. Our house sold in 5 days, and our furniture sold in 12 hours. What a mighty and awesome God we serve. After we sold our home, we purchased a motor home and went to our first BBF Builder project in Winter Haven, Florida. We have been serving the Lord with the BBF Builders since May 29, 2009. We have a peace that passes all understanding. We know without a doubt that we are where God sent us, and we are doing what He has called us to do. Please keep us and the BBF Builders in your prayers.
