Each year in September, the focus is upon church partnerships and stepping out in faith to do more than we ever dreamed possible. Habitat for Humanity International celebrates its partnership with the faith community by encouraging affiliates to plan bold building projects with local church sponsors. During Building on Faith week, affiliates and churches around the world offer a profound expression of God's love.

In addition to building houses, many affiliates plan communitywide worship services and musical celebrations to offer praise and thanksgiving for God's blessings on Habitat's ministry.

Building on Faith week culminates each year during an intentional time of prayer called the International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat.

Though Habitat for Humanity builds on faith every day, a specific Building on Faith event has become a way for affiliates to get churches excited and involved in Habitat's work. Over and over, affiliates have told us that Building on Faith was a turning point or the boost they needed to stir the faith community into action.
