G@C Its What We Claim HFH Core Documents Mission Statement Seeking to put God s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Mission Principles 1. Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ. We undertake our work to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus, acting in all ways in accord with the belief that God s love and grace abound for all, and that we must be hands and feet of that love and grace in our world. We believe that, through faith, the miniscule can be multiplied to accomplish the magnificent, and that, in faith, respectful relationships can grow among all people.
G@C Its in our DNA 2. When the Fullers experienced a marriage crisis and returned to their Christian faith they a. Decided to give back to the community by forming an affordable housing organization eventually called Habitat for Humanity. b. Gave away everything they had to the poor and disenfranchised. c. Sold their business, hit the road, and volunteered in a number of good causes.
