What is Rachel's Challenge?

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School in the USA on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America and shortly to be introduced into Northern Ireland.

Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel's life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spell-bound during a one hour school presentation that motivates them to positive change in the way they treat others.

Ed Writes: - "God Knows Me .... and Loves Me Anyway - That Blows My Mind" - This song is based on 1 John 4:10

10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(New International Version)

How terrific to see "Love Me Anyway" as your new #1. I'm telling everyone about the great taste in music you all have in Ireland

I'm between flights here returning to Miami from Birmingham (Alabama), but received the great news. Thank you so much for playing my songs (Friday, too). You've certainly made my day, week, and month!

Thanks again and God bless.

Habitat for Humanity is a non denominational, Christian housing movement committed to the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for over 1.5 million people in over 90 countries.

Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland was founded in 1994; the work is focussed on regenerating and reconciling communities that have suffered from 35 years of conflict and on delivering affordable housing solutions in areas most at risk. For 15 years self- build home ownership projects have brought together more than 15,000 volunteers from all backgrounds to build alongside families.

For every 1 house we build locally, we fund and build 10 internationally.

Habitat NI is a key partner in Habitat’s global mission; raising funds to support international projects and advocating on behalf of those in decent shelter.

Through the Global Village programme, Habitat NI provides opportunities for local volunteers and teams to work with homeowner families in communities around the world, building houses.
