An early morning call into the radio…I state..Imagine..like John Lennon, the Flaming of the Fires of religion have caused wars and death  for years..from massacres of protestants, jews  mulsims catholics Indians

and more…  would God create another religion today…does God challenge people to kill one another in the name of the Love of God….wee call it the Theology of the Hammer, only we hammer nails not each other, we kill poverty not people..we eradicate injustice, not eliminate indians…we raise walls, instead of bombing them…our prayer in action is outside of walls on work sites, building homes…not inside walls flaming hatred and special gnosic answers………..we can all work together BUILD WITH US THIS 911  ON 911 THE WORLD WAS CHANGED FOREVER, THIS 911 COME OUT AND CHANGE THE WORLD…  to that end we wake up we pray to the one God we all believe in, or don’t believe in, and work together…..

time to do it!

visting my homeland today in the commonwealth of Massachusetts....Worcester Ma...second largest city in New England great stock from my folks, my aunts uncles, sisters, cousins and more...all blessed to have lived here...we took it for granted..but from a former cousin a city manager, to police and court officers to bank and principals..we done good..thank God!  Habitat is here..i was on the board and will visit some homes as well as my family tomorrow...everyone a home...we hope..here housing style is often reflected in what is called three deckers..homes ..apts, or condos, with three floors....having been born on the top of one, and my mom talking about bringing the coal for the winter up the stairs...glad to see so many still here...perhaps a little more creativity could be added, but still simple decent homes...I heard about solar panels being put on a senior center...WTAG the first radio station, our WVOX, had greats like Tony Randall start there...Denis Leary, Rich Gedman, all of my St Peters alum....as well as Matt Morse principal...

working class city, in the heart of the commonwealth, much like Yonkers a city of hills....my your hometown or city be blessed tonite..may you remember from where you came..to where you are..to how you help and change your own community..may all live in a simple decenthome...i started the day in NY, with a doctor from Mt sinai...who went to Haiti..he wanted my input...Claude Jeudy emails me from Haiti this morning...we are working on amazing things to change Haiti...stay tuned...from Worcester to Westchester and Westchester to Worcester...and Delmar to Petionville, Port Au Prince...the world is smaller, communities and home towns can be rebuilt and the dream of simpe decent homes for all across the earth ....continue...God blessyou and yours...jjk

Lets look at the things that we see in front of us, great talented people..people who are working helping and with talent..who can bring their gifts to help in so many ways….

Often we don’t look at those right around us as talented…for us, everyone has an opportunity to be at the Habitat table, building, mentoring, helping in the stores, or in the offices, or running an event to raise funds…for our houseraising..

 

Yesterday I took a ride to see the home that needs rehabbing in White Plains that the city called us on to help rehab….another great opportunity, with walking distance of our Highland Avenue site…we will have a busy fall in White Plains…as well as Somers, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mamoroneck and more…

We need you to make sure there is an LPC leader inyour community and committee…to grow our work there…stay tuned…we have only just begun..with your help

Leavingthe Leglise de Baptiste, I see my friiends, praying every nite..for Haiti for here…we must pray for  anew day, for Haiti, for right leadership..for the Holy Spirit to guide this country…no question…Kembe Fem Haiti…

 

An exciting time, two develoers come to me…can we build with you…can we join you..can you help us build condos…awesome…we need to multiply..like the Prayer of Jabez…where we pray for the Lord to multiply our work…that we are held in the palm of his hand, and we are kept from evil…and that God multiplies our work…no question…

 

With that in mind, we need you to help us with our Building Campaign..our Campaign to raise 1.2 million over the next six months..thats right, to build, to commit, to lead.. to help..

God is blessing us, He gave it all for us to help use for positive resources…now its your turn to help….God bless..

If only to get inspired again, this Thursday evening, after praying and thinking about what we need to do to accomplish the goal of a home for all…I read one of the original copies of NO MORE SHACKS…(WE HAVE THEM FOR A DONATION AT OUR HEADQUARTERS) ..by Millard Fuller..

 

Ch. 9 leads off…There is no doubt about it…The resources both material and human, sufficient to house everybody already exist. Building materials in an abundant variety are scattered over the earth. It is true that in some places the necessary supplies are not immediately adjacent to a particular construction site. It is also true that extra creativity may be required in order to build in some areas. But adequate materials of one kind or another are available.”  Furthermore there is enough money in the world to house everybody, not in mansions, not in opulent villas with saunas, swimming pools, and tennis courts. But simple decent houses can be built for every family. There is enough money for that….

 

To that end we recommit ourselves to help with that mission..to Caifu, to Port au Prince, to Sonsonate El Salvador to southwest Yonkers and northern Chapaqua, to Somers to South Central to Tecate to Tuckahoe, to your town and city…….

Make a donation NOW FOR OUR WORK THIS SUMMER

 

 

A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND CHALLENGE GRANT IS ON…SPONSORED BY OUR LANZA FAMILY FOUNDATION FRIENDS, FOR THIS SUMMER TO HELP EVERY FAMILY FROM MT VERNON TO MT KISCO…….PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TODAY ON OUR WEBSITE…..MAY GOD BLESS YOU, THE SEED GIFT WILL BE MULTIPLIED….AND OUR EARTH WILL SEE ALL WITH A SIMPLE DECENT HOME TO LIVE IN……

A poet wrote…

Count up your conquests of sea and land,

Heap up your gold and hoard as you may

All you can hold in your cold dead hand

Is what you have given away

 

Poet EM Poteat….

 

 

What have you given away lately, what have you done to help others…much I am sure….we cant give more than God asks…God outgives back to us all the time..our very breathe, our safety our waking up..our food, legs, minds..etc…God is so good, we are called to help one another…no question.

 

Everyday we are great to be part of Habitat. This Friday we have Barclays, Starwood Hotels, volunteers from high school, as well as Citibank..

Yesterday we had a great LPC meeting in Chapaqua..Our Horace Greeley leaders, along with Leslie Fitts,Walter,Clark from the lpc, and others, find us rehabbing a seniors home who has needs..then the Carriage house, then our first affordable homes….it is an exciting to see this lpc move ahead

 

We are going to be having a series of LPC meetings that will meet regularly to help us with a Leadership conference call…what a great group who have helped us build in Chapaqua. Somers, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mt Vernon, Portchester Greenburgh, Armonk, Croton, Bedford, and many many more towns…what a great team…with so many leading, like Ossining and White plains leaders too….our first LPCs ….

Stay tuned for Amazing things.. in all we do…

 

May God bless you …..join us in this endeavor in prayer and action!
