FW: sat morning june 19th

A great habitat leader of New Song ministry in Sandtown passed away..this past week..alex tibbell..though never having met him, he was co founder of New Song ministry as well as Sandtown habitat…in Baltimore..he diligently with prayer and his wife, started the Sandtown Habitat…Millard Fuller used to say to me, Jim you got to go visit there..you got to go see what these people are doing…congregations have helped them..and the ministry to build more than 300 homes a blessing..i went to visit one of the beautiful rehabbed row houses that family lived in two months ago and went to a chic coffee shop that a rehabilitated worker now owns and runs..a church, a health care center, a school all started..the Holy Spirit blessed their work for sure..

 

With that in mind.. we see so much that needs to be done in our neigborhoods..faith based ministries, allow for a spiritual context like Nehemiah to help rebuild our inner cities…to help reach out ..to help repair and take back the breach and rebuild the walls of HOPE AND HOMES…Alex God bless you, and all at Sandown Habitat.. you are in my prayers today..

 

Today this Saturday volunteers go to Mamoroneck..yesterday I spoke to a financial person about the economic meltdown..what happened..i ask..whats a deriviative..not an easy answer to give..

 

We have no derivatives at habitat, we have no interest like the book of Exodus challenges us to chare no usury to our brothers and sisters in the world, we have no agenda to bundle or resell our homes..our work..to rebuild communities together in the love of God..so everyone can go to bed in a simple decent home…together.. God bless you…

 

Ps VISIT OUR RESTORE TODAY, IN MT VERNON, YOU WONT REGRET IT.
