Habitat's Mission and Goal:
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God’s people in need to
develop communities by building and remodeling houses so that those people
can live in decent homes and have the opportunity to grow into all that
God intended. The goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate substandard
housing and homelessness worldwide and to make affordable shelter a matter
of conscience and action.
President’s Message
A Bag Of Tools
Isn’t it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make-
Ere life is flown-
A stumbling block
Or a steppingstone.
--R. L. Sharpe
Long
ago I ran across this poem and it so impressed me that I memorized it and
am able to recite it at a moment’s notice to anyone who will listen. As
nothing else can, this poem epitomizes what is our ministry at Habitat for
Humanity, both locally and globally. We, in partnership with God’s people
in need, are in the business of making steppingstones. I invite you to
join us in this work, our life’s mission, our gift from God.
Lee E. Brackett,
President
