A Letter from President, Dr. Fred Bryant:
Winfield: Building On Faith A Blessing
Having had the support and help from East Side Baptist, First
Baptist, and Unity Baptist made this house a blessing to be
involved with. Lots of good fellowship and certainly lots
of good food. I have never been involved with a build that
even came close to the good food we had.
I certainly have never been on a build where all the walls
went up, trusses put up, and decking put on, and blacked in
ONE DAY. This will be the eleventh house I have participated
with. This is the first Church Partnership house in Marion
County. This partnership was involved with Habitat International
Building on Faith program that emphasizes church partnerships.
At the time of our dedication over 400 homes were being dedicated
around the WORLD with church partnerships. Over 400 families
lives were changed and their children's lives changed. The
families are fellowshipped with and uplifted to a better socio-economic
level as Habitat is a Christian service that impacts all of
our community.
I would like to list and thank everyone that worked and helped,
but over 500 names were signed in over 12 Saturday Work Days
and paint the House Week. Some people and companies need to
be thanked.

-comments from the Veal family
Habitat for Humanity is a God-ordained organization in that
it demonstrates, in many, many instances, what the Bible teaches
on love, giving, receiving, building, helping, sacrificing,
forbearing, long-suffering, and so on. My experience with
Habitat for Humanity is one that showed me how that the Bible
really is the Living Word of God Living because as I witnessed
each and every person involved in the project of helping to
build my home, I couldn't help but notice God's spirit moving
in the hands, feet, legs, eyes, mind, etc, of the people.
There was absolutely no denying the fact that God was in the
center of this building project, overseeing everything I praise
and thank God for his goodness, grace and mercy.
Sometimes I wish that there was something I could do to payback
everyone ho helped build my house, but truthfully no amount
of money could ever being to pay for what I've received. I'm
not just talking about the house, but the entire sphere of
what my children and I have experienced, which is something
beyond human expression. However, I feel privileged and honored
to have met people like Dr. Fred Bryant of whom I could write
a book that would tell of his many wonderful attributes and
dedication. Dr. Fred was the master-mind, leader and SERVANT
over the entire project who stuck in there start to finish.
THANK YOU!!
Also, people like Ann Couch, Jane Guyton, Mr. Bryce, Mr. L.J.,
Ellis, Mary Reid, Wolfin, Bob, the Lowerys, were the core
groups of people who helped this project to become a remarkable
success. Thank You!! Unfortunately, because there were so
many different faces, I can't remember all the people who
were involved in this project, and I say this regretfully
but to all of you from the Veal family a hearty Thank You
because without your support, the house at 524 Mallard Rd.
would just be a work in progress, but because of all your
help, my children and I have been living in this house for
about almost two months and we love it!!
Rob Crook , Habitat Vice-President, accepts a $1,000. Donation
on behalf of Universal Forrest Products national grant program
to support local Habitat groups. We are very thankful for
this program.
