Missionaries Paul and Judy Ridgway presented the need for furniture to Williams Trace Baptist Church in Sugar Land. The church contacted the TBM Builders and agreed to provide shipping for the completed items.

Williams Trace Baptist Church has provided support for ministries in Bulgaria for several years.

The bunk beds, desks and wardrobes will be used in the Bulgarian Training and Transitional Center. The center’s residential program includes a living and learning center, life skills training and vocational education.
