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.
men ideas together
The theology of the hammer embraces wholeheartedly the idea that the love of God and love of man must be blended. The word and the deed must come together. One without the other is devoid of meaning … As the deed gets closer to the word, God gets closer to us. The results are always wonderful — and sometimes spectacular!
thinking cities community
Our mandate in Habitat for Humanity is to work diligently to help bring into being graceful communities, towns, and cities. his is so important because the alternative is disgraceful. We must begin to think like this. If we do, we will increasingly see transformations in our communities.
Faith without works is as dead as a doornail.
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.
