It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.
Millard FullerWhat Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. Itโs what it does for people on the inside. Itโs that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves lifeโs 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.
Millard FullerI have tried raising money by asking for it, and by not asking for it. I always got more by asking for it.
Millard FullerThis is God's work. It makes blisters and it makes sweat, but it's worth my time and it's worth your time....Working together as God's people in the world-I don't know of anything more rewarding.
Millard FullerChurches are the primary partners that work with Habitat in an almost infinite variety of creative overlapping circles. We cherish these partnerships with churchesโฆI have always seen Habitat for Humanity as a servant of the church and as a vehicle through which the church and its people can express their love, faith, and servanthood to people in need in a very tangible and concrete (literally!) way.
