OUR MISSION

Promoting Biblical understanding of leadership development, evidenced by the fruits of the spirit as compassion, love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, and others thereby enhancing effective spiritual and physical wellbeing as commanded by the Holy Scripture.

BACKGROUND

The western world is well aware of the more marginalized populations that struggle with the basic necessities of life. Many organizations have established some form of relief to provide these necessities. Many Christian organizations do their best to help churches across the world, to reach those most in need. Often there is alack of effectual leadership, and there seems to be a gap between the relief organizations and projects abroad. Biblical servant leadership taught and promoted by Building Stone Ministry will help close these gaps, moving relief efforts in the right biblical direction.

OUR VALUES

We use scriptural principles as defined by the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, the Belgic Confession of Faith and the Westminster Shorter Catechism as the doctrinal view which we believe to be expressed by Scripture itself.

OUR METHODOLOGY

Using a ‘multi prong’ approach, BSM will come alongside current NGO and project personnel developing effective leaders by way of:

  • INVESTIGATION – Beginning with the problem / issue identified at the local level, we will do a complete investigation as to all the circumstances surrounding the problem. We will identify why and how this issue arose to begin with, all attempted previous remedies and look at culturally appropriate solution(s) based on available resources, including leadership capabilities. Finally we will recommend local solutions.

  • CONSULTATION AND DECISIONS – After investigation, a complete report will be brought to the project decision-makers. Besides a written report BSM representatives will verbally discuss the findings and make recommendations.

  • IMPLEMENTATION – Ranging from minor involvement to extensive training and mentoring, BSM in the final prong approach, will be prepared to help, instruct, advise, coach, and mentor individuals working primarily with the leadership to effectively take key roles in carrying out project responsibilities.
    BSM will achieve its purpose, through the multi-prong approach, in building local practical leadership while at the same time influencing many well-meaning efforts to have positive results both at a physical level (the basic necessities of life), and the spiritual level.

The role of BSM is not to take over and do the actual work of the project.  BSM is there to provide guidance and mentor-ship developing leadership capable of obtaining the results the project implementers set out to do.

THE WAY WE WORK

THE IMPORTANCE OF BSM

Building Stones Ministry exists (both in the Western and developing world) to consult, or though partnering, or contract, to assist churches, project boards, NGO organizations, local community leaders, and others in accomplishing the set goals for their project / ministry both at the current time as well as preparation for successive leadership planning for the long term.

The main focus of this development is to encourage Biblical Servant Leaders, both current and future, to have the vision and tools from set up of organizational structure, administrative matters, leadership development and successive planning through the means of teaching, discipling and mentorship.

He that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

LUKE 22:26
