Time To Celebrate In Belize!

Published on February 15, 2017February 17, 2017 by John And Deborah SimsLeave a comment

In October of 2012 it all began! In the country of Belize, Mountian View Campground was more than an idea, the ground work had begun.

We are now celebrating the completion of many facilities used for the purpose of ministering to youth, children and families through camp revival and renewal!

Youth camp, children’s camp, family camp, women’s retreats and pastoral training are all happening at the Mountian View Campground.

Photo’s of the beginning!

Today Mountain View Assemblies of God Campground exists because of the many prayers, dedicated hard work, and sacrificial giving of those called to make a difference in Belize. We are grateful for the help and partnership of all those involved in making this more than just an idea.

THIS LAST YEAR in the ministry of Builders International!

Mountain View Campground is just one example of the many exciting things God is doing around the world through the construction ministry of Builders International. Because of your giving and volunteering, Builders International has had an impact in 10 countries in the last year. #BUILDING4LIFE #TOGETHERweSERVE

Santiago Children’s Outreach Ministry Center (SCOMC)

Published on January 31, 2017January 31, 2017 by John And Deborah SimsLeave a comment

For some time I have been looking forward to working on the Santiago Children’s Outreach Ministry Center (SCOMC) in Chile. In preparing for this trip there have been different barriers to overcome, even up to the day of my departure when an ice storm hit. I was delayed a bit more, but arrived in time.

We at Builders International have partnered with missionaries, like the Mazurek’s in Chile, to assist in completing necessary facilities that will bring further influence of the gospel. Lives are being changed by the diligence and commitment of many.

The team from Oak Creek Assembly of God, WI was prepared to dive into the work of concrete mixing and finishing. The ladies faithfully primed and painted steel beams that would be used throughout the roof structure. The men alternated working on high scaffolding to building and setting up concrete forms. Some proceeded to pour the concrete beams, while others worked on completing the concrete floor in the basement.

The SCOMC under Mazurek’s leadership is successfully rescuing children at risk. The school is providing education, training, and a loving environment. We are believing for revival in the families of Santiago through the changed lives at SCOMC. Please believe with us and be a part of building this needed facility.

I’m currently scheduling construction teams to complete the multi-purpose building, the three-story school, and finally the parking with an upper level exercise area. Please partner with us through going or giving and be a part of the miracle. -John Sims

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the Sims

happythanksgivingbanner Dear Friend, Family and Mission Partners,

This has been a incredible year of traveling far and wide to share with our churches, as well as meeting some of you for the first time! We are so GRATEFUL for the support we have received from so many of you towards our missions work. Your giving is making a difference

This coming January, I will be traveling to Chile to help complete the new phase of construction at the Santiago Children’s Ministries Outreach Center. This new addition will accommodate many more children.

God continues to perform miracle after miracle through SCMOC, which is one of Builders International’s current construction developments. Children are rescued from despairing life situations, then provided with a lasting hope and an everlasting future, as a result of the effectiveness of this brick and mortar project!

Their own home, the place you would expect them to be the safest, is actually the most threatening place for many of these children. Raised by prostitutes, drug dealers, addicts, and gang members, many of these children have no idea which “John” fathered them.

SCMOC is unique in that it is a church that grew out of a children’s ministry. While ministering to children, the families begin coming in with their children and receiving Jesus! It has gradually expanded from a children’s ministry outreach, to a church, and soon to include a school as well.

Playing with a little neighbor girl one day in the shack where he lived with his drug dealing, squatter parents, four-year-old Victor suddenly had a gun pointing right at him. His little friend found it lying around, and she playfully pulled the trigger . . . CLICK, nothing happened! Victor explained the incident nonchalantly, but the reality is that drug dealers’ guns are always loaded! GOD HAS A PLAN FOR VICTOR!

Pastor Danny (of SCMOC) discovered that little Victor’s father was abusing him sexually. The four-yearold was removed from the home, and placed in foster care. Eventually, Victor was adopted by a family in the church.

Countless children like Victor wander day and night on the treacherous streets of Santiago. Your faithful support has helped to bring about a positive change in the lives of many at-risk children in Chile!

CURRENT MINISTRY . . . Deborah and I serve as Regional Project Managers for the Latin America/ Caribbean Region with Builders International/MAPS Construction.

Their work includes project management, on-site project assessment, team leading, project promotion, and development of training facilities that will carry the gospel to the nations.
