At a hotel in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, two men shared their vision for effective world missions. Realizing that developing countries around the world had far too few resources to construct training centers, Bible schools and drug rehabilitation centers, these men began to dream - and The Builders Club was born.
Charlie King of Aurora, Colorado, and Missionary David Wagner were dreaming of what could happen if churches across America could involve everyone in doing something to fulfill the Great Commission.
In America, approximately sixty-five percent of church-going people are inactive in the world missions programs of their church. The Builders Club is an effort to bring that percentage down through informing, challenging, and partnering with individuals and congregations around the country, helping them understand the importance of their role in world evangelism.

Why do we exist? |

Simple. Because of the lack of funds needed to purchase building materials for various construction projects around the world, church growth in developing nations is hindered. The Builders Club was conceived to help lift that financial burden.

50 cents a day. It is not too hard to find 50 cents.
Think about the things you spend 50 cents on every day.
What if each of us could take that 50 cents a day and put it together?
What does it add up to?
$15 per month.
Per person.
The Builders Club is asking you to redirect your loose change.
Take that 50 cents a day and spend it on something other than your
morning coffee or your daily newspaper.
What are you going to do with your 50 cents?
