Testimonials

One day during the building of the parsonage for First Baptist, Lake City, CO,
a gentleman from down the street, a summer resident, drove up in the front
of the house, David greeted him and engaged in conversation. The neighbor
said, "Never in my life have I seen so many people giving of their time to
carry on a Christian project! Would it be all right if I gave a donation to this
work?" Upon being assured that this would be a wonderful gesture, he wrote
a check for $1,000 on the spot. Our church has been blessed by the work of
the VCB and looks forward to having a full-time pastor move into this home
soon. Dave and Jane Basden, Lake City CO (Deacon at First Baptist, Lake City)

I just wanted to let everyone know how much VCB's hard work and friendship
have meant to me and to Texas Baptist Encampment. For the past 5 years in a
row, a large crew of VCBers has come to the camp for at least 2 weeks to
accomplish a construction project in a time of need. In those five years,
we've renovated two dorms, 9 motels and one house; we've constructed a
2000 sq. ft. meeting facility, installed a large sprinkler system, built
numerous bunk beds, and many other smaller projects.

Each year over 9,000 people visit our facility to refresh, relax, and renew
their relationship with God, or to begin one. Last year, 250 young persons
gave their life to Christ. The work that VCB has done here has certainly
contributed to these decisions.

We cherish our fellowship with the VCB and look forward to many more years
of working side by side with you until Jesus returns and our labors finally
come to an end. Barry Nelson, Administrator, Texas Baptist Encampment,
Palacios, TX

Without God's leadership in your lives, we would not have been able to
accomplish the special task of building our new sanctuary for the Lord. You
impacted our lives greatly and your spirits are an integral part of this
building. Our prayers are always with you. Jim Phillips, Pastor, Dodson Branch
Baptist Church, Cookeville, TN

VCB means a lot to our church, Cedar Ridge Baptist Church. Without VCB
workers we wouldn't have started building on a sanctuary and eight
classrooms. We thank God for all our wonderful building experiences and the
wonderful times of fellowship with other Christians. "God is good, all the
time, all the time, God is good!" John and Mary Fall, Galena, MO, retired
teachers.
