AROUND THE GLOBE
For many years our biggest focus has been in the country of Cuba working with the Christian community there to assist established evangelistic efforts. We were first called 'Bridge Builders' in Cuba and the term became more prevalent with each visit. Our name was eventually enhanced to 'Bridge Builders for the Cross' and made official with incorporation in 2005.
We were introduced to Cuba in 1991 and since that time have led large and small groups participating in construction projects at the Cedars of Lebanon Seminary in Pinar del Rio, the Pedro Gonzales Nursing Home in Havana and a variety of church and mission projects in Western Cuba.

We have been involved in introducing pastors and lay people to the many churches, missions, and 'casa cultos' giving them the opportunity to share and witness first-hand church growth from a new and unique perspective. Probably the most important aspect of any mission experience is the opportunity to witness personally what most of us have only heard about from visiting missionaries. Many times, it is beyond description to finally be able to meet converts and see the churches that we have been involved with only through our prayers and offerings. Children's camp in July each year has become a regular feature of our ministry and continues to be one of our most popular trips.
Our many years of traveling has shown the generosity of our short-term missionaries with their benevolence. We have taken hundreds of suitcases filled with Christian literature, medicines, tools, clothing, electronic equipment, and a wide array of greatly needed items. With each trip our Cuban friends experience our love for them and Christian compassion in action. |
We have ministered up and down the Mexico/US border for more than 20 years. Situations and ministry needs continually change and we have always attempted to be flexible with these ministry demands.
The Del Rio, TX/Ciudad Acuña area is currently the focal point of our ministry and we have partnered with Shon and Janeene Young with Young Living Stones ministries. They coordinate our ministry in Mexico with children's homes and homeless organizations and with our annual “Christmas Backpacks for Kids” in December.

The closeness of the border, relatively inexpensive trips, the friendliness of the Mexican people, and the satisfaction of being involved in the Great Commission permits our “part time missionaries” to realize a fulfillment of being involved on the international scene.

In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands us “to go and make disciples of all nations” and in Acts 1:8 Jesus again commands his disciples to go and minister “to the ends of the earth”. BBFTC wants to be used wherever there are opportunities.
