Benefits of Congregational Participation
Provides a way for communities of faith to engage in ministry with an established Christian housing organization that has an excellent reputation.Allows a community of faith to participate in a ministry of service that has a beginning and an end. Provides communities of faith with a tangible opportunity to put faith into action both locally and globally. Leads many people to grow in their faith and desire to serve God. Builds community within the congregation and among all who work on a Habitat project. Provides for important and meaningful connections among people of faith. Gives individuals with a variety of skills the chance to respond to the needs of others. Often attracts new members and involves inactive members by providing people with an opportunity to see tangible results of their faith efforts as they work side by side with other people. Stirs enthusiasm among members of many communities of faith who then seek more opportunities for ministry. Communicates the message of being a caring and compassionate community of faith called to action. Makes a community of faith step out in faith and rely on God when the inevitable and unforeseeable problems arise. Helps generate a healthy pride within a community of faith.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I; send me!"
Isaiah 6:8
