What do you need to volunteer?

  • A desire to serve.
  • Some comfort with tools and a willingness to learn new skills.
  • A day, week or several weeks to work on a project. 
  • A place to stay (Texans on Mission can help with this, particularly with projects at camps).

Volunteer David Rose adds another hat to his collection with Church Builders

Seventy-nine-year-old David Rose has worn many hats in his lifetime, bearing titles from machinist and millwright to paint contractor and financial expert. He even served as a Baptist pastor for 16 years.

“I’ve done just about everything except perform brain surgery,” Rose joked, admitting he doesn’t plan to attempt that challenging feat.

His most favored skill set — working with his hands — is what led Rose to check out Texans on Mission Church Builders nearly two years ago. Since then, he has joined the team on five projects, trekking from Corpus Christi to Louisiana.

Rose’s combined experiences of ministering in the church, handling finances and doing manual labor have given him a unique perspective on the impact the Church Builders ministry has on churches.

“It can be really expensive for a church to have construction projects done, and it’s nice to have people come in who know what they’re doing,” Rose said. “We’re helping the people who are ministering. The Lord appreciates people that help others.”

Rose recently aided the Church Builders team in Saline, Louisiana, where volunteers built a large addition for an active and growing congregation. Even though once in the pulpit himself, he took great joy in ministering from behind the scenes, something he says is just as important as preaching and teaching.

“If you want to serve the Lord, it doesn’t make a difference whether you get credit or not,” he said. “The Scripture teaches us to do good unto others and to fulfill the law of Christ. ... We will be known by the love we have for others.”

Something he’s found unique to the Builders ministry is that no specific skills are required. Additional hands are always welcomed and can be helpful in any capacity.

When he’s not at a TXM construction site, Rose enjoys fishing, helping the widows in his church and spending time with his wife Judy and their four children, 16 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
