๐ช๏ธ One Week Agoโฆ Kingdom Builder Ministries Didnโt Exist.
We had the dream.
We had the burden.
But we didnโt know howโor whenโGod would bring it to life.
And then the tornado hit.
In the aftermath of destruction, heartbreak, and debris, God stirred something deeper in us. And almost instantlyโKingdom Builder Ministries was born.
We launched the page within hours. We started saying โyesโ before we even had it all figured out.
And then God breathed on it.
With just our hands and our three teenage kids, we got to work.
We cut a massive tree off an elderly coupleโs roof and patched the holes in their metal within 24 hours.
We cleared a widowโs driveway and tree limbs off her vehicle so she could leave her home again.
We pulled tangled limbs off broken fences, smashed cars, and torn-up homesโpraying with strangers as we went.
Weโve met people this week whoโve been living in unsafe homes for yearsโlong before the tornado came.
Single moms. Elderly neighbors. Widows. People with disabilities. Folks with no family to call. No money. No options.
But theyโre calling us.
And weโre answering.
Even before Kingdom Builder Ministries had a name, the work had already begun.
On Memorial Day weekend, our family spent time in Blanco and Gowen, clearing storm debris, cutting trees, and doing what we could with what we had.
We helped clean up the Blanco Cemetery, honoring sacred ground that had been torn apart by the stormโremoving branches from gravesites and restoring dignity where it had been buried beneath the rubble.
We didnโt have a formal team yetโjust a burden in our hearts and a willingness to show up.
Shortly after, a photo posted by Golden Drywall & Remodelingโour familyโs businessโwas featured in the local newspaper showing a moment from that same weekend, during the time our crew was helping clear a mile-long driveway to reach isolated residents in the Blanco community.
And just a few weeks later, after the McAlester tornado, the paper reached out againโthis time including our work crew in a new article, featuring a photo of one of our hands working on an elderly womanโs impacted roof.
We didnโt set out to be seenโwe just showed up.
And somehow, God keeps letting that story shine.

In just 7 days, God has:
๐จ Cleared trees from homes, cars, and yards
๐๏ธ Patched roofs. Delivered supplies. Met people at their most vulnerable moments
๐ Brought divine appointments and opened doors we never could have forced open
๐ฒ Launched this page, created an intake system, started a volunteer hub at our church, and now opened a new Facebook group to coordinate the growing movement
And the needs keep coming in.
Calls every day. Families overwhelmed. Homes caving in. People unsure how to get through tomorrow.
But you know what?
We know what God can do when people say โyes.โ
This ministry didnโt begin in comfortโit began in chaos.
But God is showing us that Kingdom work happens in the rubble.
And weโre not just showing up for the storm victimsโ
Weโre showing up for the brokenness that existed before the winds blew.
Because our community doesnโt just need recovery.
It needs restoration.
We believe in:
๐ ๏ธ Fixing roofsโbut also restoring dignity
๐ Cutting treesโbut also lifting burdens
๐ Rebuilding homesโbut also healing hearts
This is our story.
This is the calling weโve stepped into.
And this is just the beginning.
๐ In one week, this page has grown to 150+ likes and followers
๐ Reached over 16,500 people
๐ฌ And generated over 775 comments, reactions, and shares
Thatโs not โsocial media growth.โ
Thatโs God on the move.
And nowโweโre building the team.
The Kingdom. Together.

You donโt have to be part of a certain church.
You donโt need to be perfect or prepared.
You just need a heart to help.
Weโre not the heroes. God is.
Weโre just showing upโand watching Him rebuild what was broken.
Letโs build something that lasts.
One people. One Church. One Kingdom.
