David Snell is the President of The Fuller Center for Housing.
I was back in Indianapolis last week — seems that I visit there more than any other Fuller Center site (most likely because they keep inviting me back!). I was there for their first annual Millard Fuller Legacy Awards Banquet. It was a grand event. Jeff Cardwell, a member of our Board of Directors and […]
Last Friday marked the third anniversary of the death of Millard Fuller, who, with his wife Linda, founded Habitat for Humanity and The Fuller Center for Housing. Those of us who’ve been called to continue the pursuit of Millard’s dream of eliminating poverty housing miss him every day. Millard was one of those larger-than-life individuals […]
We went to church this morning at Maranatha Baptist in Plains along with a fair contingent of Covenant Partner representatives, who wrapped up their annual conference here last night. President Carter taught the Sunday School class (as he has done every Sunday he could since he was 18 years old—that’s just a year shy of […]
Another year begins. How quickly they seem to pass. 2011 was a hard year for this old planet. History will probably show that it wasn’t a whole lot worse than many years have been, but it’s the one we’re closest too, and it did have its challenges. Now we look to the future, and despite […]

Charlie Park, who heads up the covenant partner there, came over to Shreveport to meet with Millard about the Fuller Center in 2006, and Webster Parish became one […]
It’s been quite a whirlwind of travel over the past few weeks, and despite my best intentions I’ve had a hard time keeping up with the blog. I think it’s a discipline. I was in Congo in mid August, Honduras at the end of the month, and in Indianapolis over the past few days. I need a […]
I started this blog to report on my travels, and despite my poor discipline in updating it I do feel the urge every time I hit the road. I got back early this morning from a week in Congo, so my juices are flowing. The trip got off to a sad start, though, and that’s […]
