We at the Fuller Center for Housing Western Cape South Africa believe that:

• We have been called to this housing ministry; we didn't just stumble into it.

• We are unashamedly Christian

• and enthusiastically ecumenical.

• We aren't a church but we are a servant of the Church.

• We are faith-driven, knowing that after we've done all we can do the Lord will help finish the job—something that requires us to stretch beyond our rational reach.

• We are a grassroots ministry, recognizing that the real work happens on the ground in communities around the world through our covenant partners, so a large, overseeing bureaucracy isn’t needed.

• We try to follow the teachings of the Bible and believe that it says that we shouldn't charge interest of the poor, so we don't.

• The government has a role in our work in helping set the stage, but that we shouldn't look to it as a means to fund the building or improvement of our homes.

• commit ourselves to wipe out the disparities in housing in the Western Cape, first, and to restore many families by providing basic, decent, affordable housing to families who are homeless or who live in sub-standard housing.
