| A Christian
Ministry Calling Churches to Action Habitat for Humanity was created to demonstrate the love and teachings of
Jesus Christ, so it is natural that the church-Christ's body in the world-should be a
primary partner in Habitat's work.
Churches are essential in grounding
the work of Habitat in the gospel message and undergirding the ministry of Habitat in
prayer. The most successful Habitat for Humanity affiliates are the ones with the
strongest church support, and churches have proven to be Habitat's most reliable and
long-term partners.
Partnering with Churches to
End Poverty Housing
The Church Relations Committee of
Habitat for Humanity and local church relations teams help congregations organize
campaigns to build houses-and so much more. Habitat for Humanity is about tearing down
walls and building bridges. It is about bringing hope and transforming lives. It is about
serving God by serving others.
The vision of Habitat is that all
people have a decent place in which to live. Trust in God propels this movement forward
and helps change the world-one family at a time.
Benefits of Church
Partnerships
Habitat for Humanity affiliates
benefit from all the contributions that churches make to this ministry. The prayer,
financial and volunteer support that churches provide is the backbone of Habitat's work.
The partnership works both ways, however.
What Can My Church Do?
Most importantly, every church can
pray for the work of Habitat for Humanity around the world. Churches support the ministry
of Habitat in a number of other ways and at a variety of levels.
