1. Vision and Mission
   

2.     The vision of Bridge Builders International is to see Latvia transformed by the love and power of Jesus Christ.  To achieve this vision, our mission is to build Strategic Partnerships to offer ministries of Outreach and Evangelism; Leadership Development; Mission Mobilization; and Mercy and Recovery.
   

3.     Strategic Partnerships take place as we build living bridges to, in and from Latvia; these vital partnerships between churches, organizations and individuals enable all to be equipped, encouraged and strengthened in their ministries.
   

4.     In Outreach and Evangelism, hundreds are equipped in Latvia each year for church planting, summer camps, and strategic evangelistic campaigns (including the November 2010 Franklin Graham Festival in Latvia).
   

5.     In Leadership Development, we encourage 150+ church leaders each year through Prayer Days, train pastors through the Baltic Pastoral Institute, and mentor individual key leaders by BBI staff and missionaries.
   

6.     In Mission Mobilization we inspire and mobilize 200+ leaders and future leaders annually, through Mission Days, to take the gospel to Latvia, the Baltics and the world.
   

7.     In Mercy and Recovery we serve those struggling with addictions through Celebrate Recovery and bless orphans through the ministry of New Hope Latvia and our BBI missionaries.
   

8. Ministry Summary
   

9.     We are an Oregon-based Christian ministry that focuses on the nation of Latvia. Our vision is to see Latvia transformed by the love and power of Christ. We bring all sorts of people together to form vital partnerships and use their gifts, networks and resources to encourage and strengthen Latvian leaders, pastors, students, youth leaders, orphans, churches, schools, and camps.
   

10.     As a result, every year many people of all ages learn to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Some new churches are started and others are encouraged. Important books have been published and hundreds of leaders have deeply benefited from BBI's signature events...Prayer Days and Mission Days.
