BROOKSVILLE PARSONAGE DEDICATED - "Builders For Christ" Complete Project

(07/19/2003)

Brooksville Baptist's new parsonage Dedication service after the labor A brand new parsonage was dedicated last evening by the Brooksville Baptist Church. The 1,300 square foot house was built by volunteers - "Builders for Christ," from the Burlington, NC area. The dedication came after a final week of labor, sometimes up to 40 workers climbing ladders, pounding nails, painting walls, pulling wires and hanging cabinets. The parsonage was built off State Route 5, near the Big Bend Cemetery on land donated by the Cain family. The North Carolina group actually has 250 members who support the ministry, according to Bill Donaldson of Burlington, NC, who said "I'm sorta the foreman." He proclaimed "Whereas God has raised up Builders for Christ, and has put it in their hearts to join their sister church of Big Bend...in building a parsonage," as the keys were presented. It was the 10th parsonage the group has built. The volunteer group supplies most of the materials for the project. "We use this house building as an excuse to spread the message of the Lord Jesus Christ," he said. "We have a wonderful group of people and people are coming to the Lord all the time." About 80 volunteers stayed in campers parked behind the church or slept in the church buildings.
