5 Groups Band Together to Build House in Partnership with Local Family

This is Twin Lakes' 4th Building on Faith project in Alamance County
Twin Lakes Community is currently spearheading its 4th Building on Faith project in Alamance
County. Begun on November 2, this project pairs Twin Lakes with four local church partners: Alamance
Lutheran Church, Elon Community Church, First United Methodist Church of Elon, and Macedonia Lutheran
Church. Habitat For Humanity of Alamance County is coordinating
all workdays and construction details of the Building on Faith
construction project.
This year's Building on Faith partnership house is located at 1004
Sidney Avenue, Burlington. Alamance County residents, Mr. and Mrs.
C. Thomas Steele, Jr., made this lot available to the ministry of
Habitat several years ago. Recently a Habitat partner family selected
the lot as the location for her new house.
The hard-working future owner of this house is single mother of 3,
Kasheba King. I am so excited about my house, said King. The
house will be completed in the spring of 2014.
The mission of Habitat for Humanity of Alamance County, as well as
the sponsoring groups of this house, is to bring people together to
build homes, communities, and hope. In this case, the groups will
build a new single family, site-built house with Ms. King. It is an
honor to work with Habitat in helping others through Christian service, said TwinLakes representative, Katie
Page.
Habitat builds by the grace of God, one nail at a time, one day at a time. Habitat volunteers serve as Christs
hands and feet with our neighbors in need, said Robin Wintringham, the Executive Director of Habitat for
Humanity of Alamance County.
Habitat for Humanity validates that a community can come together for the benefit of the less fortunate. For,
Ms. King, a house provides boundless opportunities for her and her children and that is truly the primary goal
of Habitat.
