Big plans lay ahead for our ministry in January and February! In addition to Debbie’s scheduled trip to Vietnam, she will also be leading a team of 8 members to the Philippines from Grace World Outreach Church. The team will leave on January 11 to begin their travels, with their first stop for ministry in Dipolog City and the second stop in Pagadian City, both on the island of Mindanao. The team will be ministering in two Pastor/Leaders conferences, as well as kids crusades, jail ministry, women’s ministry, and youth ministry from January 13-26. On January 26 the Grace World Outreach team will return back to the USA, and Debbie will board a plane headed for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Robin Rogers, a member of the Philippines team, will be serving alongside Debbie as she is once again able to minister at the Agape School of Ministry in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. This time she will experience the move of God in and amongst these pastors in a new light as she participates in the first Ordination Service of those who have completed this portion of their training. This is truly “history in the making!”
It is our desire to be able to bless these pastors and leaders by bringing them to Ho Chi Minh City so that they can be ordained for the work of the ministry, set apart as vessels of honor that are “complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:17). We have anticipated that $2,500 will sponsor the pastors to attend the Agape School of Ministry for the week as well as the Ordination Service. We are praising God for the $650 that he has brought in so far. We are continuing to believe God for the remaining $1,850 to help sponsor this week of ministry. Please pray about how God could use you to partner with Him in spreading the Gospel to the unreached in Vietnam through these pastors.
Below is our itinerary while in Vietnam. We thank you for prayers while we make our final arrangements and for our ministry to the precious people of Vietnam.

Home Safely...
I am happy to report that our team is home, safe and blessed, basking in the afterglow of being used by the Lord for His work in Campo Grande, Brazil. We got extremely busy as the crusade approached and then during the weekend that there wasn’t time to bring an update. We encourage you to check out the slideshow on our website and watch the week unfold.
On Wednesday Missionary Timothy’s sister Peggy joined us from North Carolina. Then in the evening we invited the neighborhood children over for an “American meal” of french fries, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Miriam and Debbie prepared the meal and Matthew and Alissa played games with the kids, shared with them and we all laughed, sang, and had a good time in the Lord.
On Thursday, we were joined by Pastor Tim and his son Kat from Tennessee. They had previously been near Sau Paulo, Brazil, with a construction team building a church. They parted ways with their team and came to help make the crusade a success. On Thursday evening we crossed the city and joined Pastora Rose once again to minister in one of the churches she has planted in a very poor area of the city. The service was packed with half of those in attendance children. She made a large cake with icing celebrating our attendance, and the kids as well as their families were so excited to share the cake with us. Debbie gave a word of encouragement and called all the children up for prayer. They crowded around Alissa and Matthew looking to the Lord for a touch. After the prayer service we joined a family at their home for another churrasco…a Brazilian Bar-B-Que! It is great to sit and hear what the Lord is doing in the nations as all that were brought together for this one event shared their ministry experiences.
On Friday we started the work for the crusade. We walked through the town with a large banner, handing out invitations and candy to the residents and businesses along the way. We prayed around the school property and greeted the people as they came. Many of them were those that attended the Schools of Evangelism held over the past two weeks. They came with Bibles in hand, ready to minister to those that came to hear the Word of God. Alissa, Matthew and Peggy worked with the children. We repeated this on Saturday evening and Sunday evening. Only God knows the effect this crusade had on the people in the city of Campo Grande. There were souls saved as Pastors and church leaders prayed with those in the crowd at the close of each night. Children responded to the Gospel and even the school’s security guard received Jesus. It was exciting to be part of God’s work!
On Saturday afternoon all the women (Miriam, Alissa, Peggy, Virginia, and Debbie) joined Gethsemane Church and Pastor Nathanael once again as they hosted an afternoon tea for the women in the area. God brought a “now” Word for all the women through Debbie and then we had a good time in fellowship tasting their delicious treats. Then on Sunday morning the doors were opened at the school once again and the local churches came together for teaching in groups: men, women, youth, and children. Miriam ministered to the women, Alissa ministered to the youth, Pastor Tim ministered to the men, and Peggy ministered to the children.
Wow, what a great time in the Lord! There is so much more to tell, but this overview should give everyone an idea of these last two weeks of ministry and help you identify the happenings as you watch the slide show. Most of all, thank you for your prayers and for your financial support so this Crusade could take place. We are humbled that God would choose Kingdom Builders to join Him in His work in Brazil and grateful for His grace and anointing that worked in and through our team as we were obedient to His call. We look forward with great anticipation to our next assignment and will keep you posted.

Monday & Tuesday's Update
On Monday morning Matthew, Alissa, and Pastor Timothy headed out on foot into the neighborhood with invitations to the Crusade in their hands. Miriam and Debbie headed in the opposite direction in the afternoon. We seized the opportunity not only to prepare the soil for the crusade through prayer as we walked, but we also allowed God to direct us to stop and pray specifically for those that had needs.
Monday evening we were honored to be invited to minister in a special service held at Ephriam Church in Campo Grande with Pastor Sandem. They welcomed us with a huge banner over the door of the church and greeted us with open arms. The spirit of excellence was exhibited in all that was said and done. God spoke a message of faith through Debbie and He used Miriam’s testimony to demonstrate His faithfulness to respond to the prayer of faith. He confirmed His Word as the entire team lined up to lay hands on those that would come in faith for God to meet their needs. Almost the entire congregation lined up and the last person was prayed for at 11:15 pm! We stayed around for pizza and many testimonies were shared and God’s name was glorified.
On Tuesday missionary Isabel (Virginia’s mother) invited us to her home. After a fabulous lunch we gathered on her front porch and listened to her share her passion for the men and women in the prisons in Campo Grande. She is the founder of Saving Lives Prison Ministry and has been ministering in the prisons and training others to join her for over 14 years. God calls and uses those that will heed His call to reach the lost in every nation, Hallelujah!
On Tuesday evening we joined Gethsemane Baptist Church and Pastor Natanael for a special prayer service. This is the church that is working closely with Evangelist Tim Sutton to hold the crusade. It is located right next to the school property that has been rented for the weekend, which will house the classes during the day and the evangelistic crusade in the evenings. This little church of only 70 people has been fasting and praying for 40 days to see a powerful move of God in this crusade. It was a special time of prayer and praise and God spoke a Word through Debbie that “the battle was not theirs, but was God’s” and that He would indeed bring in a harvest of souls this weekend. The service ended with exuberant praise as God confirmed His Word and revealed to us that walls were coming down!
We invite you to click on our website where you can view a slideshow of pictures that have been taken. God is not finished with us yet here in Brazil, we still have a week for Him to work through us! Continue to pray!

Off to a great start in Brazil...
We arrived safely in Brazil Saturday morning after an overnight flight. We were blessed to have all of our luggage arrive along with us, and we were greeted by Pastor Timothy and a dear brother in the Lord who loaded us up along with our luggage into two cars and took us to Pastor Timothy’s home. We spent our first day in fellowship, rest and unpacking all the gifts we brought to bless their beautiful family. Virginia, his dear wife, has displayed the gift of hospitality as she caters to our every need. Little Timothy Joshua (2 ½ years old) is a delight and loves all the activity in the house.
Sunday morning we joined Evangelist Tim Sutton and Pastor Basilio at Evangelical Community Pillar of Faith Church as they wrapped up a 3-day School of Evangelism with pastors and church leaders. After a delicious lunch we walked to a nearby park where some set up the sound system and others began a prayer walk around the park. After Evangelist Tim sang some worship songs and played his trumpet, Pastor Timothy shared his testimony. People from the community surfaced from their homes and those passing by stopped to listen as a short gospel message was preached. Then those that participated in the School of Evangelism began to walk through the park and down the streets and talked with many about Jesus and His love for them. It was an excellent opportunity for them to put into practice what they learned over the last 3 days.
Matthew and Pastor Timothy joined some young men that were playing soccer nearby while the Gospel was being declared in the park. God opened the door for Matthew to share with them through the interpretation of Pastor Timothy. He gave Matthew an illustration using soccer in order to relate the gospel of Jesus to them. We believe that God’s Word planted in their heart will not return void and that He will watch over that Word and draw them to conviction of their sins and the need of a Savior! Amen, so be it!
We regrouped in the afternoon and headed across town for an evening worship service with Pastor Rose at Jesus Bread of Life Church. What an awesome time of worship, which included dance, special singing, and celebration of the results of an outreach the church had done on Saturday in an Indian village. God has truly given them a heart to reach the “unreached” with the Gospel. Alissa was given an opportunity to sing and share her testimony, which prepared the soil for the message that was preached by Debbie. God moved during the altar and prayer time as the entire team ministered to the saints declaring the benefits of the Kingdom into their lives bringing healing, wholeness, and blessing. We arrived back at the house after midnight tired, hungry, and cold (the temperature dropping into the 40’s overnight) and totally humbled that God would choose us to declare and demonstrate His Word to the people of Brazil.

Our Upcoming Brazil Trip
The plans for our ministry trip to Brazil are well under way. God continues to amaze us as He brings to us those He desires to join us in our Kingdom work. He has put together a small team that will travel to Brazil to work alongside Missionary/Pastor Timothy Pugh in a week-long crusade called, “The God of Dreams, The God of Purpose, The God of Destiny.” We are praising God as funds continue to come in to allow Him to use us for His purposes during this crusade. We are believing that He will “supply all our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus!” (Philippians 4:19).
God has chosen and set apart Debbie Milton, Miriam Walker, Matthew Chesser, and Alissa Jean to join in on what He has planned for Campo Grande, Brazil, from July 10-23. Debbie will be ministering in several churches prior to the Crusade, Miriam brings along with her a heart to minister to women, and Matthew and Alissa are bringing along with them a passion to minister to the children and youth.
Our itinerary will be posted soon—watch our website and continue to pray for us as He sends us to Brazil to carry His Manifest Presence so that hearts and lives can be changed.

Sunday- Our last session
Sunday arrived once again with much anticipation of what God was going to do. He didn’t disappoint us, for once again the praise and worship invited God to manifest His Presence. Maggie and Jesus were honored to be able to serve communion to the church body. Everyone in the church made a big circle and received the communion elements as a large family. It was a beautiful time with the Lord. Once again, the Holy Spirit anointed Maggie’s interpretation as Debbie challenged them to become men and women that will rise up in faith and grab hold of God’s will in heaven and bring it into the lives of the Costa Ricans here on earth. This final service ended in prayer and praise and the Holy Spirit was given freedom to do His work in and amongst His people. Wow, what an awesome God we serve!
As the weekend came to a close, the testimonies began to flow revealing that God had confirmed His work through the miraculous. We know that He will continue to move in this local body and we expect to hear of His great and might works through this pastor and those He called to join Him in advancing His Kingdom Costa Rica.
Photos from the conference are posted online at our website. Make sure and check them out, they will help tell the story of our amazing weekend.

Saturday's Sessions
Saturday morning was a more intimate time as the ladies gathered in the sanctuary. After more praise and worship, Maggie brought forth a teaching to the women in their own language. This first session was followed by a group activity that allowed the women to interact, laugh, and share what God was doing in their lives. In the second session, Debbie challenged the women to arise and go forth, confident of their beauty in Christ, to be who God called them to be, and do all God called them to do. During the altar time God spoke to many about His purpose and destiny for their lives, encouraging them and building up their faith. A time for testimonies glorified God for all He did in their lives.
After a short rest on Saturday afternoon, the church was again filled to capacity as they gathered for their regular Saturday night service. The women were encouraged to return, and many that had planned to return to their homes stayed for one more encounter with God. Once again, the praise and worship brought everyone, men, women, and children into God’s presence. Debbie brought forth a teaching on the partnership between men and women, both in the home and in the body of Christ, challenging them to bind together in unity to accomplish the will of God in their homes, relationships, church, community and nation. The altar time once again allowed the Holy Spirit to do a mighty work in their lives.
What were the guys doing all this time? Working at the camp! Franklin was thankful to have extra hands in hanging the metal siding. The structure was finally looking like a building. They returned Saturday afternoon with sore muscles and funny stories.

Friday Night Session
The Women's Conference was amazing. The name of the conference was Mujer Bella Creacion de Dios, which means Beautiful Women, Creation of God.
As 4pm approaced on Friday afternoon women began to appear from everywhere. Many walked from their homes in the area, some from small remote villages, and others came on the bus from San Jose. Once 4pm arrived worship exploded like we have never seen with over 100 women packed into the church! The Presence of God was manifest and He was worshiped and praised for over an hour. The soil of the hearts of the Costa Rican women was made ready through prayer, worship opened the windows of heaven, and the Word of God was declared as Debbie preached. Maggie’s interpretation was anointed and the Word pierced the hearts of the women. Hallelujah! The opening meeting brought over 20 women to the altar, on their knees, asking Jesus to be the Lord of their lives. They were followed by many seeking a closer walk with the Lord, others seeking healing of their physical bodies, their marriages, and many other needs. God was present to meet them and after allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work, the night ended with exuberant praise.

Day 1 in Costa Rica
This morning early I went for a prayer walk through the streets praying down the stronghold of religion and calling forth the women God is desiring to do a special work in this weekend. Tonight is our first session, and we have been preparing all day.
Yesterday afternoon a group of ladies, Maggie, and myself gathered for a prayer meeting. Afterwards, some of us walked the streets and handed out flyers while some stayed back and prayed for divine appointments.
This morning we put together the ladies gift bags and some ladies came to decorate the backdrop for service-beautiful artistry!
The guys were busy working on the new conference center. The camp is called Taller Del Maestro (workshop of the Master).
You can see photos of all these events. The link is posted on our website under the photos tab. http://www.kingdombuildersdc.com
Keep us in prayer tonight for all the women that will be coming to hear the Word!

We've Arrived!
The church is beside a river and we can hear it flowing over the rocks from our room. We are staying in bunk beds in the Sunday School rooms. Last night there was a mid-week service and then today Vance and Jesus will go to the camp to hang metal siding on the walls. Maggie and I will join Evelyn (the missionary) and the pastor's wife and we will go door-to-door passing out flyers inviting women to the conference.
The meetings will begin Friday at 4:00 for two sessions. The Saturday morning at 8:00 for two sessions. Then there will be church service on Saturday night and Sunday morning. There will be some ladies traveling some distance for the conference, so we will accomodate them also in the Sunday School rooms. It is going to be great fun and I can't wait to see what God is going to do!
