What is Global Builders?
Global Builders are teams of volunteers sent on one, two, or three week trips to one of our international covenant partner locations, where they help build homes with local families in need. Teams are able to briefly immerse themselves in the local culture while furthering the Fuller Center mission of eliminating poverty housing worldwide.

Why participate in a Global Builders trip?
Let's ask a few people who have experienced a trip:

“It’s a pretty big difference spending a week laboring beside the family whose house you are building, [rather] than sending a check to some random location 5,000 miles away.” -Max Schneider, El Salvador

"I never expected to meet so many people I want to keep in touch with afterwards. It’s remarkable how pulling oneself out of the regularity of life and into an unfamiliar situation can cause people to bond, be flexible, and make friendships that in our everyday lives might not happen." - David Adams, Armenia

"This was probably the most life-changing mission trip I've ever done." - Emily Danel, El Salvador

"Your body will be tired when you come home, but your soul will be totally recharged!” - Lizz Zanin, El Salvador
