Millard and Linda Fuller were a prosperous couple from the South. A self-made millionaire, Millard’s business prospered but his health, integrity, and marriage suffered.
A change was needed; he and his wife had a renewal of Christian commitment. They sold all their belongings, gave the money to charity, and began a new focus on life.
In 1965 they visited at Koinonia Farm, a Christian community near Americus, Georgia. At Koinonia they developed the concept of “Partnership Housing,” paving the way for Habitat for Humanity International in 1978.
