President David Snell:
Now is time for unity and reconciliation
The Fuller Center for Housing was founded in 2005 by Millard and Linda Fuller, but its roots go all the way back to the 1940s and the founding of Koinonia Farm in Sumter County, Georgia. The farm was an intentional Christian community led by theologian Clarence Jordan, and it was a place where black people and white people worked, ate and lived together — hardly a radical concept now, but it was earth-shaking decades ago. The tradition of racial harmony and loving each other equally as Christ calls for us to do continues with The Fuller Center today.

In a new 2-minute video, Fuller Center President David Snell talks about how our housing ministry's mission naturally brings people of all races together, uplifting us all as we join hands to help God's people in need of simple, decent places to live. At a time when there are so many divisions in our country, it's good to have something positive and uplifting that unites us.
