KBC Center Update

Phase One of the Kingdom Builder’s Children’s Center is completed, and is furnished to house 30 children and one live in house mother. The KBC-Children’s Center meets the physical, emotional and physical needs of the children. It covers 3.5 acres of fertile farmland, the children will learn to care for the livestock and help the caretakers to cultivate and harvest the crops used for their food.Free public schools are near the Center. The Center’s staff and volunteers from the community village, as well as Christian missionaries, will come to assist the project. These persons will teach the children the Holy Scriptures and Christian principles.With the Lord’s help and favor upon these little ones, we will fill the Kingdom Builder’s Children’s Center with the teaching of the Word of God, love, and the laughter of children, and hope for their bright future.

Introduction

The understanding that "we are sent" is at the foundation of our Christian faith. The scriptures are full of stories of people who responded to a call and were sent on a mission for God. Jesus spent his ministry calling people and sending them on God's mission (Andrew and Peter, the sons of Zebedee, Mary, Martha and Lazarus, the woman at the well, the paralyzed Man by the pool, Zacchaeus in the tree, etc.) The New Testament instructs those would be followers of Jesus to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, heal the sick, care for the widow and nurture the children Therefore, the Kingdombuider's Missions ministry is putting faith into action through training and sending forth persons in the mission field both locally and globally.
