What impact does AGWM MAPS Construction teams have?

When people from an overseas community learn that men and women from the United States take vacations from their jobs, pay their own travel expenses, and provide funds for building materials to help a group of believers they have never met, they are more willing — even eager — to hear the gospel. Many have accepted Christ after watching teams in action.

AGWM MAPS Construction teams bless more than the church members in places where they labor. Working alongside believers from another country creates a lasting bond within the family of God. Often the experience challenges team members to examine their Christian walk more closely. On many trips, the lost receive Christ as their Savior and the sick are healed as U.S. believers share their testimonies and minister during a construction trip.

AGWM MAPS Construction trips give participants a chance to broaden their understanding of how God can use them. Team members who have never been actively involved in their home church are changed as they see miracles in their lives and in the lives of others. The sending church is then blessed and strengthened.

Bricks, mortar, hammers and nails can never bring revival by themselves. But when they are used by people eager to influence a hurting world for Christ, they become missions tools to help reach the lost with the gospel.
