Habitat for Helene
Local churches on Helene, in partnership with Mission Encounters International, are working together to make homes safe and liveable by offering repair and opportunity to be involved in each others lives. This is a simple and easy solution to the disrepair many homes are in. Families are helping families. You can enter into this awesome experience , too!
Mission Encounters International is helping supply funds for materials and monies for labor on this project. There are two ways to be involved:
1. Short Term Teams can come to MEI-Helene and work with locals on repairing homes, or 2. You/your church can send funds to have locals do all the repairs.
All projects are easily reachable by individuals or small groups of people, churches and business. The cost ranges from $850.00 to about $2,600, depending on the home and size of the family. We have posted the individual familes on this website. You will see a picute of each family, a brief bio, pictures of the homes, and the estimated cost of repairs. This is a great time and way to give. Please checkout each one of our familes and then just go to our online giving to make your donation (type “Habitat for Helene” in the comment box). If you prefer to make a commitment for your organization to collect funds and/or send a short-term team for this project, please email that information to emily@missionencounters.com.
Let’s make it happen for families in Helene! We believe it is significant that the churches are taking this role in providing for the islanders. We are praying God is glorified and made known as the work is being planned and completed. Habitat for Helene – Mission Encounters, Helene churches, and families in need – it’s a God-designed partnership with an opening ready for your participation!
Someone’s home is a very personal and private thing, and because of this we had made the decision to have the listings be private. If you would like to see the specific families and homes that need repair, please email Emily at emily@missionencounters.com
