Building on Faith

Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg (HFHW) is looking for churches and members of the Christian community to get involved with our 'Faith Build'. With your help, Habitat will enable Cheiwlu (Chei), his wife Grace and nine children to make their own way with the purchase of a new home through a no down payment, interest-free mortgage. In addition, like all Habitat families, these payments will be geared towards family income, not the value of the property. Chei and Grace will show their commitment to Habitat by contributing 500 hours of "sweat equity", working on their own home, other homes or in the ReStore.



Chei, Grace and their nine children

By involving your church, you are putting your faith and love into action in a meaningful and powerful way. Each Habitat home that your church builds or helps build, serves as a lasting reminder of God's grace. It is difficult to ignore such a tangible expression of love. The community notices when people work together as an instrument of God's love. Within and among congregations, people experience a strong sense of unity and purpose when together, they reach out to neighbours in need.
