Pre-History in the naming and development of the Barakel Foundation

CONSTRUCTION IN OUR BLOOD All three Krantz brothers worked in the construction business starting as mason and concrete contractors in Bay City, Michigan early in their lives. (Photo 2006) Ken Krantz (Left) Joe Krantz

(Center) James (Jim) Krantz (Right)

Joe “our big brother” taught us the building trades well. Joe’s favorite saying was “Every block we lay we try to make a friend.” Brother James favorite saying was “If we do all of our work when we are resting .......then....we will never get tired.” Brother Ken’s favorite saying, was “Two more weeks.......I am working on it.” All three brothers (and their wives) remained close through their married lives. "We all socialized, played and traveled together for over forty years." [Ken Krantz] All three brothers, because of their independence and entrepreneurship, went in different directions into the business world.

Ken and James (Jim) Krantz both became new Christians in their early thirties and continually visited a Christian retreat center called Camp Barakel which is located outside of Fairview, Michigan. Both brothers volunteered their time at Barakel doing construction work on different camp projects

Brother James moved to Orlando, Florida in 1980 and developed a successful General Contracting business. James spent many years loving the Lord and working on missionary "building projects" throughout Africa and China. Brother James' life ended tragically in 2007. James loved life as a giver and a servant.

Brother Ken moved to Orange Park, Florida in 1983. Ken became a Florida Certified Building Contractor in 1984 and started a successful construction business specializing in Commercial structural concrete construction and commercial building. Ken continues his involvement in various construction related businesses within the US……..with no retirement in site.

Brother Joe developed several businesses in Michigan including one of the most successful #6 oil distribution companies within the State of Michigan. It took many years of “seed planting” by Brother James and in 2006 Brother Joe made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ and now his future is secured throughout eternity. Joe has been a major philanthropist within his community of Bay City and helped in funding of Barakel’s initial development. Brother Joe’s life ended in May 2012 due to a lengthily illness.

In 1999, Ken wanted to volunteer his time to fly airplanes for Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). Even though Ken was an instrument rated pilot, they (MAF) required an additional certification as an A&P Mechanic (able to fix the plane that he would be flying). The encouragement of both Brother Joe and James and the rejection of not being able to fly airplanes for mission work....... Ken was inspired to form The Barakel Foundation.

Message from Ken Krantz Founder & CEO of Barakel Foundation My doctors, family and medical friends advised me not to leave the country for at least one year. Not heeding their advise …..or you may call it….having “Selective Hearing”….. I left with a good antibotic and departed out of Jacksonville, FL on April 9th, 2010. As American flight 803 departed Maimi International for Port Au Prince, Haiti for the short 1-1/2 hour flight, I was thinking about the possibility of making a decision that would affect the rest of my life. My trip was a fact finding mission to try and make a decision to move an operation of our 12 year old Barakel Foundation (NGO) into Haiti or some other developing country to help with construction projects, medical and aviation.

Seven weeks eariler I finished my last of 39 Proton Radition treatments for Prostate Cancer. After being diagnosed in the fall of 2009, my urologist stated that the decision to what type of treatment to undergo was mine to make….not my doctors, friends…or family. I was advised to research the various types of available treatments and make a decision that would give me the best quality of life over the next fifteen years and not for the short term. My decision was Proton Radition Therapy which involved 2-3 months of 5 days a week treatment which meant traveling to 1 of the 5 centers located within the United States. The first Proton facility in the country was LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER in California followed by The University of Texas MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER which is considered one of the best cancer centers in the Country. To my surprise….the best and most advanced Proton center in the World was opened in the fall of 2006. The UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PROTON THERAPY INSTITIUE located in my home town of Jacksonville, Florida. My treatment has had no adverse side affects and no long range problems are anticipated. I am now “Cancer Free”..…..Praise the Lord. I share the above personal story because the decision to establish, not only our Foundation into some other developing country over the next few years but, also the possibility of construction of housing is personal and also is a serious commitment. A decision that will affect the rest on my life and the lives of my family. My wife of 50 years, our children, most of our 8 teenage grandchildren and close associates are cautiously in favor of making the commitment of moving forward. Spreading the Gospel and saving lives is what life is all about. Whoever destroys a single life is as guilty as though he had destroyed the entire world; and whoever rescues a single life earns as much merit as though he had rescued the entire world. --The Talmud, Mishna

“I believe that the Lord is directing me to go forward. My final decision may not be Haiti but may well be the Philippines in Southeast Asia. “It’s my job to go forward and start the work with the talents I have..…..It’s God’s problem to come up with the money…After all He is God and owns it all anyway.” Ken Krantz
