How does
it work? Modeled after
Maranatha Flight International, VBA works in tandem with Bahamas
Conference and ASI (Adventist Service Industries) to renovate, construct
and Objective: The objective of VBA is to provide skilled, semi-skilled and non-skilled labor for the constructing of all Church, Conference Convention Center and school buildings, where necessary. Also, to facilitate through the Capital Development Fund in conjunction with ASI & UDF funding and repayment (competitive loans) for all projects. Approach:

otherwise). The aim is not to limit the period to a long holiday weekend
but to a period one is prepared to sacrifice. Whatever time a member can
allot will be accepted to provide voluntary labor throughout the year.
Hopefully with many persons signing up enough persons needed for a job
or a phase of a job would be available throughout the year.
