International Networx values volunteer builders who go with skills, talents, strengths, and compassion to help our partners in the field. Facilities are a necessity to accomplish God’s purposes. When our partners call out for this type of assistance, we advance the call forward to our network of tradesmen. Below are some of those who are helping on current projects.

I am from Amarillo, TX. For the past decade, I have lived, studied, worked, and grown in my faith in Jesus Christ in Albuquerque, NM. After earning my undergraduate degree in Foreign Language Studies with a concentration in French and Russian, I have gained experience in several trades, including carpentry and various stages of construction.
I believe God led me to study Russian to better communicate in the mission field, and I feel called to travel to Ukraine in the summer of 2026 to serve through skilled labor. I will be staying for a minimum of 10 days, with the possibility of extending my time up to three months, depending on the needs of the project.
Over the past 17 years, I have participated in 13 week-long mission trips involving construction work, shelter and soup kitchen service, and evangelism. These experiences have shaped my passion for serving others, strengthened my faith, and taught me to be flexible and willing to step in wherever help is needed.
I am committed to serving in whatever capacity God has for me and to faithfully support those in need during this time.
For the full 3-month-option, I need to raise approximately $8000 and be ready to depart June 18. Thanks for generously helping me. Scroll down to donate. You can click here to read the project details.

I live in Leesburg, Indiana. I can remember, at 12 years old, standing in front of the congregation of Bourbon Mennonite Chapel, and declaring that God had called me to be a missionary. And here we are, 36 years later…..
In 2018, the Lord impressed on my heart Ukraine. What He really pushed for, was for me to find a Ukrainian church. So I looked. Google searches, asking people if they had heard of any churches in the area, but no leads turned up anywhere. Seven years passed by with no answers. In late spring of 2025, I randomly asked my aunt if she had heard of anything. Her church was sponsoring a Ukrainian family, and that week, I was at Temple of Gods Grace in Wakarusa, and there I remain.
Through nothing less than the mighty Lord Jesus, everything is aligning and happening at lightning speed. At my church, I met Katia and Kostya, and Pavel Kakurin, who also attend there. I have met Yarinka, and of course, Becky Ruland. You can read the bios of these people, and then marvel at the Lord, and His timing, and how He operates.
There are so many little details that magnify the majesty of Christ.
I will be traveling to Ukraine June 18-July 9, initially helping with a building project, and then scattering, to spy out the land and see where the Lord leads me. I pray, and I fully expect, that in two years or less,I will be leaving everything behind to move to Ukraine and work for Jesus full time.
I am a drummer, ex-military, and I love children. I expect to be led on my three-week reconnaissance mission, to the people and places that the Lord wants me to begin my ministry.
Only Jesus could do any of this! For my 3-week trip, it will cost approximately $3000 and I depart June 18. Thanks for generously participating in this mission. Scroll down to donate. You can click here to read the project details.
