Construction on the Apostles Build home began with Cotton Flat Baptist Church on October 1st.

Midland Habitat for Humanity seeks to build lives as well as houses. Through the houses the organization builds, hope is restored and lives are changed as the cycle of need is broken.
Habitat houses are built with a contribution of 350 hours of "sweat equity", labor on the part of the Partner Families (families accepted into the program). By investing themselves in the building process, Partner Families gain self-reliance, self-esteem and new skills.
Habitat brings together people from all walks of life, with varied skills and economic backgrounds to achieve a common goal of service to others.
