Overview
Finish The Wall exists for the sole purpose of completing unfinished churches and other humanitarian efforts that have been left in some phase of construction without a plan for funding or completion.
FTW takes its name from the story of the prophet Nehemiah, and his vision to complete the wall around Jerusalem that had fallen into disrepair. Inspiration is also taken from Paul’s words to the church in Corinth when he says, “Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.” (II Cor. 8:11)
It all began in 2004 when a group of men from a church in Charlotte, NC went to Barbados on a construction mission trip. They spent seven days working on a 12,000 square foot building that had been in some phase of construction for 12 years.
After additional trips, and much progress, founder Joel Davis, felt called to start a ministry that focused on the completion of unfinished projects in a timely manner. Finish The Wall was established as a non- profit in 2007, and later returned to Barbados with 39 people from 9 churches, to finish the original project together.
Since that time, FTW has completed additional projects, usually one per year, sending 4 separate teams of people, over a 5-week period, to complete a project from beginning to end.
