Habitat

The families were chosen in April.
Sharmon Foley, one of the new
homeowners, said she is grateful to
Habitat for Humanity and to God for
making her dreams a reality.
“I’ve been working hard, but I
don’t mind,” Foley said. “I thank
God every day because he made
this possible for me. If it hadn’t
been for Habitat for Humanity, I’d
still be in the same place.”
Rev. Mike Shirl, executive di
rector of Houston’s Habitat for
Humanity, delivered the night’s
keynote address.
Recently, Shirl and his ministry
took on the seemingly impossible
task of completing 100 new homes
in the Houston area in a single week.

huge success and all the homes were
completed on schedule.
During his address, Shirl said
dreams become a reality when
seemingly impossible challenges
are pursued anyway.
“Dreaming dreams and having
visions is about seriously consider
ing doing something you don’t think
is possible,” Shirl said. “Habitat for
Humanity is built on a partnership
between all of God’s people, gath
ered together with a common mis
sion that everyone should have the
opportunity to have a better life. ”
Shirl said hard work and cooper
ation make projects like the one he
completed in Houston possible.
Luz Elena Martinez, the sec
ond homeowner selected to re
ceive help from Habitat, said she
could not agree more.
“I want to thank you all for
coming,” Martinez said to the
crowd. “But I am very emotional.
I can’t say much more—I’m hap
py and my heart is full.”
In the months and years to
come, we’re sure to see more ser
vices available with our favorite
intangible currency and greater
abuse of the privilege.
