"The hammer is an instrument for manifesting God's love.  The hammer knows nothing about the race, religion or socio-economic background of the user.  Sharing in Habitat's ministry of 'building houses with God's people in need' is a way of minimizing our differences and concentrating on our similarities.  Habitat is a blessing, not only for those who receive better housing, but also for those who share in its ministry of service and compassion."

-- Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity International

Building on Faith strives to bring members of all faiths and religious backgrounds together to help make a difference in the community through building affordable, decent housing for families in need.  Working together helps to raise the $80,000 that will be needed to build this home, including $7,500 that will be tithed to our sister affiliate in Uganda.
