In an Apostles Build project, 12 churches, or coalitions of
churches, come together to build a Habitat for Humanity house. They
raise the money and provide the labor and prayer support to build a
house in partnership with a local family. The idea of going out into
the community to serve others, in the way that Jesus’ apostles
served, has attracted individuals in many churches. With Habitat for
Humanity, churches can share God’s love by building houses.
The word disciple comes from the Latin word for pupil or learner.
Jesus chose 12 disciples as his closest associates. They traveled
with Jesus and learned from him.
In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out the 12 on a mission. He “gave them
authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and
sickness” (verse 1). The passage continues by listing the names of
the 12 who are then referred to as apostles.
An apostle is someone who is sent on a mission.
Our mission is to partner with 12 apostle churches that will commit
to raising 1/12th the cost of sponsorship and provide 1/12th of the
labor needed to build the house. In addition to the financial and
labor commitments, we also ask members of the Apostle congregations
to pray for Habitat for Humanity and the continued success of our
program and partner families.
Houston County Habitat for Humanity recognizes the following
churches who have partnered with us for our next Apostle Build:
