Process and Objectives
Build the Village exists to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with indigenous people while building self-sustaining village communities to change hearts, educate minds that will ultimately change nations.

We are Committed to 3 Specific Objectives

1. Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Evangelizing
We coordinate "hut to hut" evangelist projects where BTV staff and volunteers share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nationals through interpreters. Over the past seven years we have seen thousands of individuals make professions of faith.

Discipling
Our evangelist projects are followed by immediate identification of potential lay church leaders. Five week long discipleship seminars are provided which equips the participants so that they may go back and disciple their individual congregations. This program of discipleship has had a phenomenal impact on influencing local congregations.

Organizing
We facilitate the assembly of worshiping believers and introduce Bible studies and Bible resources. Most of the time these early churches meet under a tree and as they continue to grow a temporary church is constructed. Over time a permanent church structure will take the place of the temporary church. This is typically a three year process.

2. Theological Education

We facilitate the partnerships between the local indigenous church and the theological academic community. Through our efforts we establish Bible Schools and Seminary Training Programs which help meet the theological needs of the community.

In addition, we coordinate, assemble, and distribute theological materials ranging from printed discipleship workbooks and quarterlies, Evangelist tools to extensive theological publications. Our intent to provide theological education is for the primary purpose of enhancing the maturing process that any correct exposure to the Word of God will bring.

3. Nurturing Communities

How can we as the Christian community influence a dying and hungry generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ if we are not willing to infuse a hurting people with love and compassion? Build the Village is actively involved in identifying opportunities to reach out to the orphaned and widow, those who are suffering from childhood diseases and those ravaged by war and AIDS. The need is overwhelming and this global epidemic is growing yet we must make every effort to give even the most helpless a since of hope. Not a hope in us, but in our Lord who gives a hope of eternal life demonstrated through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ.
