PHOTO GALLERY: Habitat For Humanity holds “Sign a Stud” at Ruston location

By Kyle Roberts

Volunteers for Habitat for Humanity gathered Saturday for a ceremonial “Sign the Stud” event — leaving countless scriptures and encouragements that will literally be in the core structural pieces of the Ruston house.

“This is one of my favorite days for Habitat For Humanity and the homeowners,” CEO Kathy Gardner said. “The signing of the Bible verses on the studs shows so much love from God to the homeowners. It also shows love from the community that the homeowners can witness by them actually writing on the studs themselves and the Bible verses that they choose. The homeowners are now surrounded by God‘s word because not only are there Bible verses on the studs, but also a Bible is in the center of the home’s concrete foundation. It’s truly covered by the Lord.

“We are very grateful to the volunteers the board members, and Habitat For Humanity, Louisiana Tech chapter members for coming out today to share their love of the Lord and to the homeowners. We are very grateful and blessed to be in the community of Ruston.”
