In Theology of the Hammer, Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity International, believed we can set our differences aside and use a hammer as an instrument to manifest God’s love.

What it is

Faith Build is Northeast MS Habitat for Humanity is partnering with area churches to help build one decent and affordable home offered at an affordable mortgage for a Lee County family. 

Benefits to your church

• allows people of faith to be the body of Christ in the world 
• each build has a definite beginning and end 
• accommodates members with busy schedules 
• be a part of a vibrant church that reaches beyond itself
• builds community among churches that have never worked together before
• visibility with your church’s name/ logo at worksite and on all digital media
• participate in the family’s home dedication

How it works

A Habitat home costs $125,000 and takes about 3-4 months to build. Each church partner is asked to:

• sponsor a portion of the cost of the home, which is $10,000
• identify a church member to recruit volunteers and update congregants on the build 
• enlist 15 volunteers to help during the course of the build. Volunteers register online and Habitat takes it from there! 
• offer opportunities to pray for the future homeowner
