school pride college
What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. It’s what it does for people on the inside. It’s that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves life’s losers. This is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them. We see Habitat homeowners go back to school and get their GEDs, enter college, do all kinds of things they never believed they could do before they moved into their house. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change.
home earth care
Everyone—all of us, every last person on God’s earth—deserves decent shelter. It speaks to the most basic of human needs—our home—the soil from which all of us, every last person, either blossom or wither. We each have need of food, clothing, education, medical care, and companionship; but first, we must have a place to live and grow.
want homelessness housing
We want to make it socially, morally, politically and religiously unacceptable to have substandard housing and homelessness.
caring light covered-up
In various ways all of us should be constantly finding people and situations that are dead, buried, and covered up in order to help bring them to the light because THE GOD THAT WE SERVE is a God of LIGHT, a God of LOVE, and a God of CARING.
missing house world
We have the know-how in the world to house everyone. We have the resources in the world to house everyone. All that's missing is the WILL to do it.
responsibility people needs
I see life as both a gift and a responsibility. My responsibility is to use what God has given me to help His people in need.
people community healthy
For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.
graduation college blue
It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.
real helping-others long
Nobody loves a good worship service more than I do, but we are called to make religion real, to make our faith come alive. Helping others have a decent place to live is one way to do that and it doesn't take too long for others to recognize it, too.
