What Is Under Construction?

Under Construction: A Habitat for Humanity Vacation Bible School is a Christian education resource that uses a construction metaphor to help children learn about community. To teach children the value of Christian service, Under Construction also introduces them to the ministry of Habitat for Humanity International. By combining solid Biblical teaching with practical Christian service, the children and the adults who are leading them engage a Christian learning experience like no other!
