My Nonprofit Reviews

Mission Builders International was founded out of the North American Office of Youth With A Mission in Seattle, WA in 1990. My wife, Jacky and I were part of the founding team of MBI in order to facilitate connecting volunteers, skilled and unskilled with YWAM training center around the world.

MBI was modeled after a very successful mission builder program in Kona, Hi. at the University of the Nations Campus of YWAM. During our 2 1/2 years of volunteering in a leadership roll, assisting volunteers, in helping to build a world class campus, we learned how valuable volunteers can be to a non-profit ministry like YWAM.

MBI has given us, as a couple, wonderful opportunities to serve YWAM in numerous countries of the world building several training centers in Nepal and Thailand. In addition, doing many short-term assignments in support of getting YWAM ministry locations prepared to receive volunteers and making many wonderful friends as we served these front line ministries. We loved every assignment working with staff, students and volunteers over the years.

Our lives have been truly enriched as we came alongside the missionaries in the foreign fields of the world and in North America.

We would encourage everyone to listen to God's voice, take a step of faith and volunteer with Mission Builders International. It will change your life forever.
