During the week of Aug. 30 to Sept. 4, Fuller Center covenant partners across the U.S. and around the world will build, renovate and dedicate homes with families in need as part of the inaugural Millard Fuller Legacy Build. At least 100 simple and decent houses will be built or renovated in the weeks and months leading up to the Legacy Build week.
The Fuller Center For Housing Armenia takes part at this project and has committed to build 10 houses in the framework of that.
In Armenia, simultaneously to events in other 9 countries and 29 cities for seven days, the Global Builders team and all the volunteers will be building with Martirosyan family in Haytagh village, Armavir region. The week will be finalized by a home blessing ceremony at the Ararat region Khor Virap village.
The founder of FCFH Millard Fuller, who has dedicated his life to eliminating housing poverty from the face of the earth, has left this world for a better place in February. The 100-house build is now in celebration and honor of Millard Fuller’s life and work.
All his life Millard Fuller with his wife Linda served the idea of helping those in housing need, developing communities and giving opportunities to thousands of families all over the world to feel the happiness of being a homeowner.
In Armenia, where FCH operates since 2008 and has already helped 50 families and hosted 10 GB teams, from August 30 to September 3 a Global Builders team from USA, US Embassy employees as well as Peace Corps volunteers, alumni’s from Educational and Cultural Affairs and local community members will join the Fuller Legacy Build with FCH Armenia staff to help build with those in housing need in Armavir and Ararat regions.
As God said the light which stayed inside the church will not be helpful to anyone, it will only
blind, but the light must be shared, for everybody could hear and see God’s words and affairs.
By his style of life Millard gave an example how this light could be shared and how it could light up the hearts and the nations, and how that light could unite people from all walks of life, backgrounds and nationalities around a simple idea that no one, created by the image of God, deserves to live in shacks. The volunteers from around the world get together and join families and help them realize that they are a part of a great identity, they are not alone, and there is always someone who cares of them.
