Stewarding the boundless talents of those who serve alongside Habitat Wake is a distinct honor, and this is certainly the case in the legacy of Si Seiler, a long-time member of our Force of Habitat who passed away earlier this month.
Last week during Habitat’s global worship service, Habitat leaders around the world had the opportunity to hear a powerful message from Dr. Melba Padilla Maggay of the Institute for Studies in Asian Church and Culture. She compared our time in this pandemic to the three days Jesus was in the grave before resurrection.
Habitat Wake is thrilled to take a look back at fond memories of working with St. Augustine's University, one of the nation's longest-standing Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) as part of our #FoundingFriday series.
They are an esteemed ally in affordable housing, and our partnership with them remains active through our Episcopal Build.
Habitat for Humanity is propelled by a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We devote ourselves to creating that world because we believe everyone -- every single one of us, regardless of who we are or where we come from -- deserves a decent life and deserves the opportunity for a better future.
“As the walls of a Habitat house go up, so many more invisible walls come down and new hope is built in the city.” -Desmond Tutu
Beginning on January 21, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s. Day of Service, and ending on May 17, volunteers of the 2019 Baptist Build built more than just homes, they built a community--or as Dr. King would say--the “Beloved Community”.
