I have been asking for your prayers for our family recruitment efforts at TriState Habitat for Humanity. We have recently sent out around 5,000 postcards to renters in several apartment complexes in Butler County, Ohio as well as renters in the neighborhood in Hamilton, Ohio around three lots that we plan to build on. We have grant money tied to the lots in Hamilton and we need to find qualified families who are willing to live in this area. We also just had fliers go out in the Hamilton utility bills. I got mine Wednesday and we have been getting calls in response to that recruitment ad this week.
Today was really exciting because we received back in our office the first application from a family who received one of our recruitment postcards in Hamilton. The applicant came by the office to drop off the application. I had to restrain myself because I wanted to give her a big hug. I'm sure that would have scared the applicant and that would not have been good.
My hope and prayer is that this will be the first of many applications that we receive in response to these family recruitment efforts. I know the families are out there who are in need of safe, decent, affordable housing. I need to continuously find creative ways to reach them.
I ask for your continued prayers for our family recruitment efforts and for the mission and ministry of TriState Habitat for Humanity. I know that God is up to good things and we are going to continue to grow in the number of families whom we serve.
Thank you for your prayers and for being a part of my journey!
