You’re invited to be part of a spectacular, nationwide dining experience in a city near you!
April 8, 2025
Many communities around the world lack access to the Gospel—building a church is the fastest way to reach lost souls!
Builders International is partnering with missionaries across the globe to host a LIVE, nationwide, multi-site dinner event on April 8, 2025, featuring inspiring fellowship and exquisite food, to raise awareness and financial support for church planting projects worldwide.
Countless communities all over the world lack a local church within walking distance where people can encounter the love of Christ. A church building signals to a community that the church is there to stay, becoming a beacon of hope to those who are lost and in need of eternal hope.
Through this initiative, we are helping our dedicated missionary partners establish permanent places of worship in regions where the gospel is vitally needed, including:
- Panama (Changüínola) – Templo Bongic (Missionary: Terry and Julie Bell)
- Nicaragua (Tipitapa) – Casa de Mi Gloria (Missionary: Nathan and Christine Alfaro)
- Guatemala – Gate of Heaven, Abundance & Light Assemblies of God (Missionary: David and Debbie Amsler)
- Philippines – Church Plant Initiative (Missionary: Randle and Joyce Peterson)
- Honduras (San Pedro Sula) – Palabra de Vida (Missionary: Zach and Dania Rix)
- France – Church Planting Initiative (Missionary: Manuel and Tina Prabhudas)
- Vanuatu (Port Vila) – International Christian Church (Missionary: Sam and Lisa Paris)
- Antigua – Youth Ministry Center (Missionary: Billy and Havilah Roman)
- Cuba (Guardalavaca) – Church Plant Initiative (Missionary: Brad and Shelly Foltz)
- Peru (Yurimaguas) – Las Asambleas de Dios del Perú Shadai (Missionary: Ricky and Carol Hendon)
- Mexico (Leon) – Jesús es el Camino (Missionary: Duane and Julia Martin)
- Colombia (Medellín) – Familia de Fe “Family of Faith” (Missionaries: Kevin and Cindy Elder)
Each of these churches will serve as a center for worship, community outreach, and spiritual growth, creating a lasting impact for generations. By attending Taste of Hope | LIVE, you will have the opportunity to directly advance the Kingdom of God and ensure more lost communities have access to a thriving local church.
Join us on April 8, 2025, for an evening of Kingdom Impact!
