Construction

Students International partners short-term outreach participants with long-term missionary professionals to serve those in need through specific occupational ministries. Below is a description of those ministries where Students International is sharing the Good News in the area of Construction.

Construction In The Dominican Republic

The Students International construction ministry primarily focuses on helping families with limited resources build or make improvements on their houses. In most cases, the families are asked to come up with the materials for the project, and we supply the tools and help with the labor. Outreach participants working at the construction ministry may dig footers, lay block, mix and pour concrete, and do basic carpentry. In addition to community work, our construction site also builds and does maintenance for our ministry sites within Students International.

Carpentry in Guatemala

The carpentry site offers courses in which we teach adolescents the types of wood and the correct usage of tools that are in the workshop. We will teach them how to make wood crafts and furniture so that they may learn how to work on their own and use it professionally. After finishing the projects, they have the opportunity to sell the projects and make a little money that serves for helping out their families. One part of the money will go to the student and the rest will go to the site to buy tools for the woodshop. When students come, they will participate alongside of the adolescents, helping them with their projects, bible studies, and sharing the love of Jesus through their testimonies and taking time to get to know the teens. In the afternoons we may check water filters and visit the families in order to know them and pray for them. Please pray for this site and the teens.
