Hope For The World
International Tithe Program
One of the values that Habitat Omaha shares with our faith community is tithing. Habitat Omaha donates a portion of our unrestricted cash donations to further Habitat’s work in other countries. The concept follows an ancient Biblical tradition in which God asked Israel to sacrifice the first crops of the harvest, trusting that the remainder would be enough to carry them throughout the rest of the year. In exchange for this act of faith was a promise of provision: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it” (Malachi 3:10).
This promise, as well as Jesus’ instructions to care for our neighbors and the vulnerable in society, makes tithing a natural component of Habitat’s Christian identity. In essence, it is an act of faith. The Israelites trusted God to provide rain and sun, crops and livestock; Habitat trusts God to provide–through tithe partners–shovels and cement, nails and lumber. Tithe partners help Habitat Omaha in building hope for those living in substandard housing around the globe. Donate now to become a tithe partner.
