Building on Faith 2013
2013 Building on Faith home will be build in the
Logan Community in Concord, NC. Habitat for Humanity Cabarrus County and the
city of Concord have developed a partnership to revitalize the Logan
neighborhood with new home builds, increased homeownership and some “brush with
kindness” repairs. Terrance will then pay an affordable, 0% interest mortgage
to support future Habitat builds. We need your prayers and your help!
Volunteer
Volunteer dates for Building on Faith begin July 13.
Volunteer registration can be completed online at http://habitatcabarrus.ivolunteer.com/
or by contacting Tiana DuVall (information below). In addition to on site
volunteering, we can use volunteers in the office to help with some of the

to engage their support or planning the dedication. If you are interested in

Meet the homeowner
Terrance Grier is a dedicated, hard working partner of Habitat
Cabarrus who will be a homeowner by the end of the year! Terrance moved
to Concord to live with his sister (who was Habitat Cabarrus’ first homeowner),
after a few life challenges left him unemployed and homeless. His sister helped
him get back on his feet and encouraged him to seek help from Habitat. He
wasn’t ready for Habitat’s homeownership program, but he moved into one of our
transitional apartments in Concord and started working towards qualification
for his own Habitat home. Even before he was identified as a Habitat partner
family, Terrance took the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University classes,
putting a lot of effort into finding financial freedom and meeting the
qualifications for the Habitat program. Through his volunteer work with Habitat
Cabarrus, he found employment and has now put in a lot of sweat equity hours
towards his own home. Terrance has a culinary arts certificate and uses
that to earn some of his sweat equity hours by cooking meals for partner family
classes. His dream is to one day own his own catering business. Habitat and
homeownership is a step in the right direction.
"When we move out in faith, God moves, too, and our
small supplies are miraculously multiplied to fill the need … If Habitat were
primarily a movement of individuals, there would be nothing lasting to it. But
this is God's movement, and there's nothing that can stop it." Millard
Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity International
