PHOTOS OF THE DECADE: Ministry-defining moments from the past 10 years

The Fuller Center for Housing will mark its 15th anniversary in 2020, and this past decade has seen this very important ministry thrive and grow across the United States and around the world. Before we roar into the ’20s, we thought this would be a good time to share a memorable handful of images from the thousands of pictures in our files that helped define this past decade. Enjoy!

  • Those photos remind me of the world Millard Fuller dreamed of. A world with “No More Shacks.” I saw the Fullers do these in my tiny village in Nzoia Habitat for Humanity Project way back in 1980s and 1990s. I know Millard is happy and watching from heaven when lives are changed, when love for humankind is demonstrated in the “Mortar Joints” God bless you all who are working in the Fuller Center for Housing. I am praying to God to enable me join in this good work. David Masika, from Nzoia- Western Kenya
