A great man dies and few take notice
Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat
for Humanity and promoter of "the theology of the hammer" died
Tuesday in Georgia.
Propelled by his strong Christian principles, Millard Fuller used
Habitat to develop a system of using donated money and material, and
voluntary labor, to build homes for low-income families. The homes are
sold without profit, and buyers pay no interest. Buyers are required to
help build their houses, contributing what Fuller called sweat equity.
Locally we have a pretty good little Habitat build in the spring every
year. You can volunteer to help here.
We’ll start signing people up in the near future, so be sure to check
our website for more details. If you’d like to donate money or gifts in
kind, feel free to email me.
