2 Corinthians 9:7-8 (NIRV)

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

September 2010 - Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. To accomplish these goals, they invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses alongside our homeowner (partner) families. Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor (sweat equity) into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.

Wycliffe's Mission is to see a Bible translation program in progress in every language still needing one by 2025. Each person who participates in the Bible translation movement has been created by God, gifted by God and called by God. While they are a diverse community, they are driven by a single passion: The glory of God through the translation of the Word for every person on earth in the language they understand best.
