The
Nehemiah Program
Support a Piece of the House
|
|
In
the Nehemiah Program, a congregation or group agrees to provide the funds
and perhaps the labor for a specific portion of the construction for one or more
houses. For
example, one congregation might agree to buy and install the siding, or to
sponsor the roofing or framing of the home.
~Nehemiah 1:3&4; 2:11&12, 16-18~
12 Apostles = 12 Churches
 |
In the Apostles Build model, twelve individual “apostle” churches join together to fully fund and build a house for a local family. Each church is responsible for 1/12 of the cost of the home and one of 12 volunteer tasks. It’s that simple!
12
churches + $2,500 each + one day of volunteer labor =
a
simple, decent place to live for a hardworking, deserving family
Sponsorship Breakdown Example: $2,500=
Commitment of 50 members giving $50!
Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is willing to work with churches on any level of participation to which the congregation feels called. Additional options include whole or partial house sponsorship, Adopt-A-Lot [$5,000 land and infrastructure sponsorship], inclusion in the church’s annual missions budget, monthly contributions, one-time special offerings to benefit our mission, etc.
