🌪️ One Week Ago… Kingdom Builder Ministries Didn’t Exist.
We had the dream.
We had the burden.
But we didn’t know how—or when—God 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 instantly—Kingdom Builder Ministries was born.
We launched the page within hours. We started saying “yes” 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 couple’s roof and patched the holes in their metal within 24 hours.
We cleared a widow’s 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 homes—praying with strangers as we went.
We’ve met people this week who’ve been living in unsafe homes for years—long before the tornado came.
Single moms. Elderly neighbors. Widows. People with disabilities. Folks with no family to call. No money. No options.
But they’re calling us.
And we’re 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 storm—removing branches from gravesites and restoring dignity where it had been buried beneath the rubble.
We didn’t have a formal team yet—just a burden in our hearts and a willingness to show up.
Shortly after, a photo posted by Golden Drywall & Remodeling—our family’s business—was 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 again—this time including our work crew in a new article, featuring a photo of one of our hands working on an elderly woman’s impacted roof.
We didn’t set out to be seen—we just showed up.
And somehow, God keeps letting that story shine.

In just 7 days, God has:
🔨 Cleared trees from homes, cars, and yards
🏚️ Patched roofs. Delivered supplies. Met people at their most vulnerable moments
🙏 Brought divine appointments and opened doors we never could have forced open
📲 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 “yes.”
This ministry didn’t begin in comfort—it began in chaos.
But God is showing us that Kingdom work happens in the rubble.
And we’re not just showing up for the storm victims—
We’re showing up for the brokenness that existed before the winds blew.
Because our community doesn’t just need recovery.
It needs restoration.
We believe in:
🛠️ Fixing roofs—but also restoring dignity
💛 Cutting trees—but also lifting burdens
🙏 Rebuilding homes—but also healing hearts
This is our story.
This is the calling we’ve stepped into.
And this is just the beginning.

You don’t have to be part of a certain church.
You don’t need to be perfect or prepared.
You just need a heart to help.
We’re not the heroes. God is.
We’re just showing up—and watching Him rebuild what was broken.
Let’s build something that lasts.
One people. One Church. One Kingdom.
