EXTREME BUILD   

        Extreme Build is Kentucky Baptist Fellowship’s annual home construction project in McCreary County that brings together churches and individuals in partnership with local agencies to build a new home in 10 days for a low-income family.

            Extreme Build is not just KBF’s signature event; it is a model of how they approach their work.  KBF believes in partnerships.  Extreme Build could not happen unless numerous organizations, both religious and secular, partnered together to construct this affordable-housing home.

            The miracle of Extreme Build is not that a house appears in about 10 days.  Extreme Build is a miracle of partnerships.  Together KBF takes the meager assets of a local family, pools them with the meager assets of numerous organizations and churches, adds the sweat of over 115 volunteers and ten days later people walk away wondering how it all happened.    It is a miracle of partnerships.  It is a miracle of friendships.  Bessie Watson, 2008 Extreme Build Home recipient said it best, “I thought I was getting a new house and now I have 150 new friends.”
