Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter showed how faith in action works. I learned from them. They are missed. Who among us will be next to have such enormous impact on us?

My aunt worked on a habitat house with President Carter in 1994. I grew up hearing her stories about him and his thoughtfulness, work ethic, and eagerness to help others. I am honored that he touched my family in such a thoughtful way, as he did many others. God Bless him.

Three decades ago, a Vietnam Veteran told me that Jimmy Carter had founded a great NGO to help people build their own homes. He was not quite accurate, but his notion led me to work with Habitat. It was the highest honor to witness the kindness, humility and faith of President and Mrs. Carter building homes in Haiti in 2011 and 2012. God bless him and grant him peace.

I was 15 years old when the Carter-Torrijos Panama Canal treaty was signed. I remember my sister’s husband driving us to the top of Cerro Ancon that night. The large American flag that for years sat atop the highest point in the city, was being replaced by an equally large Panamanian flag. It was such a moment of pride at being Panamanian. Thank you Mr. Carter; what an incredible human being.

Do we remember him as “Jimmy”, or “Mr. President”? Fortunately we can remember him as both: a down-to-earth, down-home fellow who was our neighbor and friend, even if we never got to meet him, and our elected leader of the free world, if only for four short years. We're also fortunate that he and Rosalynn elevated the exposure and success of Habitat For Humanity to make it a household name.

My first Carter Works project was in 2005 in Michigan. I was part of a large contingent of Willow Creek church members. President Carter gave some opening remarks & afterwards met the attendees. I was able to shake his hand. I felt honored while he was very proud of the crowd assembled. One of his sons came to Grand Rapids to bless the 4 homes we'd built. That week over 200 homes were built.

My parents had a story they loved to tell though not a Habitat story. They had driven as octogenarians to Plains to see where they lived. As luck would have it, they drove by the Baptist church and Mom made Dad stop as she needed to use the facilities. She saw Rosalynn raking leaves and asked her if it would be all right. She said, “Go right in and Jimmy will show you where.” Highlight of their trip

President Carter took office when I was just six years old. I, obviously, did not understand politics. However, I remember thinking he was the only “important” man I wanted to meet.

From a distance, President Carter was a premium model of a servant leader. He did not allow occupying the highest position in the world to keep him from reaching the least of these... What range to live a century-long demonstrating a mentality to serve in Sunday school after sitting in the Oval Office. The humility of President Carter is a worthwhile legacy to learn from.

President Carter is one of the two people I admire as true leaders. I have seen general comments saying that he was not an impactful President — how wrong! When we look at the impacts of what he has done for generations to come, it is so easy to see that he was probably the most impactful President USA had. He was just simply ahead of his times, so advanced in foresight and character. RIP.

Jimmy Carter, will be remembered as a president who was concerned about values, human rights, and doing things that were both morally and ethically correct. His post-presidential life was remarkable and is worth emulating, especially his altruistic initiatives within the African continent.

President Carter showed ALL of us how to live a life of service to others—one that exemplified respect, love, concern for others—qualities that through thousands of years have enabled humans to survive. He also showed the qualities of a follower of the teachings of Jesus, which sadly have been distorted or buried today by many who use his name to justify any means to the end of gaining power in the name of Christianity. He provided a strong, powerful memory of what it is to be a fully developed, wise man.

The first election I voted in was when Jimmy Carter ran against Gerald Ford, and I didn't vote for him. I had a pretty close-up view of his presidency from Baltimore and DC and was particularly affected by the Iranian hostage-taking, during which time I changed my mind about him. Afterward, my admiration and respect steadily grew for him. And Habitat for Humanity - amazing! I will cherish him.
