See the miracle of your ministry in action
Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent Faith Builds bring local churches together to raise roofs, walls, funds and prayers to build a house in partnership with the Roque Family!
It’s an opportunity to live out your church’s ministry, engage your members and see the miracle that occurs when God touches the hearts of new homeowners and the volunteers who work alongside them.
I know that God is sending people
my way to be a blessing to me
and my family. —Tia R. Homeowner
