Churches

As a Christian-based organization Habitat for Humanity International invites churches and faith groups of every denomination to address the challenges of poverty housing in the Asia-Pacific region.

Churches help in ways that reflect the goals and emphases of their congregations. Many churches begin their partnership with Habitat out of a desire to help other people.

Ways Churches Can Partner

• PRAY: Habitat’s mission needs every type of support including the power of prayers. In the words of Millard Fuller, Habitat’s late founder: “The bible tells us plainly that all things are possible, even the elimination of all substandard housing”.
• DAY-OF-PRAY: Each year, Habitat encourages congregations around the world to focus their prayers on those in need of decent shelter.
• VOLUNTEER: Church builds deliver new homes and hope in their communities and overseas in Global Village trips. To find out about volunteer opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region, click here.
• BUILD-ON-FAITH: One week each September churches around the world send teams into their communities and across the world to put faith into action by building, repairing and renovating homes.
• DONATE: Congregations donate through regular or special collections and tithes, through sponsoring volunteer build teams

Benefits of Partnering

• Put faith and love into action;
• Build with, not do for God’s people in need;
• Gain a greater understanding of people of the same faith, different faiths or no religious affiliation;
• Build community and fellowship within your church;
• Experience spiritual growth and blessing through service to others; and
• Demonstrate your congregation’s commitment to social justice.
