25 days, 25 stories: A Coalition Member’s Testimony

Each day from October 5 to October 29, 2009 we will be posting a new story in celebration of Habitat for Humanity of Omaha’s 25th anniversary. These stories have come to us from people who have been involved with Habitat Omaha in a variety of ways at some point in the past 25 years. We hope that you enjoy these reflections, some old and some new, about Habitat Omaha and that they inspire or renew the spirit of service in you. If you have a story of your own that you would like to share please send it to us at buildinghope.omaha@gmail.com.

 

A Coalition Member’s

Testimony

 (Habitat Omaha Faith Relations informational booklet 2006)
 
“One of the best parts about volunteering for Habitat for Humanity is seeing nothing become something. I really enjoy working together with other church members to turn an empty lot into a home for a family. The best testimony to what Habitat can do for your church is how many people want to come out and do it again.”
