Hanover Baptist Church ( Hanover Indiana ), with the assistance of “Builders for Christ” (BFC), is constructing a new church this year. Haven Church has joined Hanover and BFC in this effort and desires to send a strong contingency of “builders” to assist Hanover and BFC the week of May 21st through May 27, 2023. Please keep these dates in mind as you continue to read this email.
Hanover Baptist Church is a wonderful church located on the Ohio river approximately 30 miles upriver from Louisville KY. They are in need of a larger and newer facility that will allow them to better fulfill their mission. Check out their website for more information. https://www.hanoverbaptist.com/
BFC is an amazing volunteer-based organization, building over 40 churches throughout the United States. Jacobs Well, in Eau Claire, is one of the churches that has greatly benefitted from BFC. We have met and communicated with the BFC organization and have been impressed not only with their construction expertise, but their faith and ability to successfully assist churches monetarily and spiritually. Check out the following BFC website for more information. http://www.buildersforchrist.org/
The entire Hanover project is scheduled to take 16 weeks starting May 21st, 2023. Each week different teams from many churches, from around the country, work together to help construct bits and pieces of the new church under the supervision of BFC construction experts. Team members need not have any building experience. The only requirement is a servant's heart. BFC estimates the need for over 700 people to assist with this project over the summer months. The estimated “all in” cost is $750 per person which includes transportation, food and lodging.
Please seriously consider participating in the Hanover build which will assist in their effort to build God's Kingdom. The people you will meet and work with will inspire you and your faith journey
Deadline for notifying BFC and Hanover as to the number of Haven volunteers that will be going on “week one” is April 7th, 2023. However, it would be great to notify BFC as soon as possible as to how many volunteers they can expect.
Please encourage anyone you know that might be interested in going on this mission trip. The more the merrier. As soon as possible please let us know if you or anyone else is interested with assisting with the building of this church in Hanover.
We are hoping to have an in person meeting to discuss questions and details. Will keep you posted.
Feel free to contact our team if you have questions.
