Building on Faith Partnership – Pope County Chapter

Mission

Expressing God’s love in gathering together the faith community by building simple, decent, affordable housing with God’s people

 Vision

To help the community to see the spirit of God at work outside the four walls of the church by being the major sponsor of Habitat for Humanity of Prairie Lakes, Pope County Chapter’s 2010 Faith House.

 Partnership includes participating in the build, recruiting the volunteers, selecting the partner family, and providing 70% of the funding for the house and volunteers to build the house.

Estimated total cost of the house = $75,000

As of February 1, 2010 we have received $15,000 from the Pope County churches.  We anticipate more funds to come in through out 2010 and we look forward to their participation in the actual build as we get closer to summer.  If your church hasn’t mentioned anything about it, talk to your pastor and see what you can do.

The home will be located at 171 Lincoln Ave. in Villard and the Family Partner is Meagan Stein and her son, Connor.  They have already started putting in their required 240 hours of sweat equity and look forward to working on the job site as well.
