Hear from Saint Luke’s member Daryl Moore about Habitat for Humanity:
How did you first get involved with this partner?
Saint Luke’s partnership with Atlanta Habitat For Humanity is about fulfilling dreams – dreams that prospective Habitat home buyers have of owning their own homes. That partnership extends to fellow church congregations and, most importantly, to the Habitat home buyers whose house we help build. Saint Luke’s has been partnering with Dodd-Sterling United Methodist Church to build a house each year for 24 years, with additional churches joining Saint Luke’s and Dodd Sterling beginning in 2013.
What do you want others to know most about this mission partner?
A simple, decent, affordable place to live for everyone – that is the goal of Habitat For Humanity. But that is only part of the story. This amazing ministry is transformational, bringing a completely new dimension into play with the home buyer and the home buyer’s family members! Pure joy and gratitude – that is what we see in the faces of each home buyer throughout the build and especially on the day when the house is dedicated and the keys are handed over.
Is there a person you have met through this mission you wish others could meet?
Our home buyers starting in 2004 – Michelle, Patricia, Rosalee, Kimberly, Sonya, Latonia, April, Christina, Poch, Kong, Wanda, Valory, Jerry, Shyuana, Diawara, Kechial, Ericka, Sonja, Lisa, Antwonette, Nilaja
