Day #64: Give with Habitat For Humanity (Bldg Team) in Kingsland, GA

I met a team of volunteer construction workers this morning at a Habitat For Humanity work site in Kingsland, GA.

Day #64: Give with Habitat For Humanity (Bldg Team) in Kingsland, GA 2

Habitat For Humanity is a Christian Housing Ministry that has helped build over 400,000 decent, affordable houses and served more than 2 million people around the world.

The 3-bed 2-bath house we worked on today is being built for a single-mom with three young kids.

We started the roof this morning, which consisted of nailing down the plywood boards and then rolling out the black waterproofing paper and tacking it down. There was lots of hammering action.

HFH has building and renovating sites around the globe so, now that I got my hands dirty, I am sure today won't be the last house that I help build.

Have you ever helped build a HFH house?

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
