From Mary Mobley
I'm fundraising for our Habitat for Humanity build in rural Romania. As the team leader, I'm excited for all that God is going to do in, and through our team members!

About Me
My mom's participation in the 1994 Habitat's Carter Work Project in South Dakota was a milestone in her life of Christian service, and it has inspired me. In 2012 when my Allison daughter was 16, we joined a Thrivent Builds Worldwide team building from Fort Wayne IN for a Thrivent Build with Habitat in El Salvador. It was a powerful experience for both of us and within days, we wanted to return. In 2013 I trained as a Global Village Leader and this past August lead my first trip back to the same location in El Salvador. Now this trip to Romania will be very different with regards to the culture and landscape but the need for decent housing and the passion of the partner family to work hard to improve their life will be the same. Thank you for your support, especially your prayers for safety, good health and protection.

Our Team is coming together
We are eager to experience the blessing of partnering with a family who is working hard to improve their life and future. We will work in western Romania in a rural area near the small city of Beius. Our travel is through Budapest Hungary so we will have a rich cultural experience both in Romania and Hungary. Please let me know if you would like more information about joining our team: Cheryl Cusmano, Nick Cusmano, Quinn Gallant, Jennifer Callewaert, Jen Dunbar, Jim Meza, David Meza, Jackie Rouse and Mary Mobley.
Housing Need in Romania
According to the official statistics, 35 percent of housing in Romania is in a state of complete neglect and in need of urgent repairs.
Habitat for Humanity Romania has taken up the challenge of ending poverty housing in the country. Since it’s founding in 1996, HFH Romania has partnered with more than 1,000 families.
We invite you to join our Global Village team in partnering with Romanian families in need to help build safe, affordable, decent homes.
Please share -- we are trying to raise awareness and funding to support the work of Habitat for Humanity Romania. Working together, we can create positive change. Thank you for becoming a part of the Global Village experience!
Thrivent and Habitat
From the first nail to the last, building a home with Habitat for Humanity International is a profound experience for all involved. It’s not just sticks and blocks. It’s tears and smiles, borne of hard work and faith. And it’s the knowledge that you’ve helped change lives.
That’s why Thrivent Financial works with Habitat. And it’s why we want to do more. Much more. Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity engages congregations, Thrivent chapters and members, Habitat affiliates, and individuals from across the United States and around the world to build hundreds of homes per year with families in need, provide mission trips for Christian outreach in local and foreign communities, and directly reduce poverty housing and homelessness around the world.
About Thrivent Builds Worldwide
The Thrivent Builds program combines the financial, volunteer and advocacy resources of Thrivent Financial together with the affordable housing leadership of Habitat for Humanity International. Thrivent Builds Worldwide teams are led by members of Thrivent Financial and build in one of the Thrivent Builds premier destinations – Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua – or any other location where Habitat’s Global Village program sends teams.

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity International
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 1,300 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
