Building Projects – Philippines
My name is Stan Smith and I am the facilities manager at Grace Church of Glendora. Since 2006 I have worked with Grace for Asia and Grace Church to organize and lead teams of men to the Philippine Islands and partner with local churches there to build, 
remodel and do various construction projects in a response to the command outlined in Acts 1:8: “…and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” 
We have been working with the leaders and pastors of the Conservative Baptist Association of The Philippines (CBAP) and others to identify church groups and organizations that we can come along side and partner with to help expand ministry. The long term goal of this partnership is to help establish and plant new churches in the metropolitan areas surrounding Manila where none exist now. Our partners from CBAP will then train, equip and install leaders in those new churches and mentor them as they grow.

You do not have to be a general contractor to participate in one of these projects. A good attitude and a willingness to serve is all you need! We have had men with occupations not remotely connected to construction go with us and do wonderful work. The team pictured to the left worked on the Grace medical Clinic in Mindanao. I invite you, your friends and your church to participate in one of these partnerships!
