President of the United States seems like a life pinnacle but not for Jimmy Carter. Your legacy is much more than that. You touched many lives and led by example. Staying grounded, humble and devoting your life to lifting up others. I say to you now - Rest in Peace, but doubt that is possible for you. I know you will continue to help humanity from above.

The passing of President Carter is not only a huge loss of a leader to the people of America, but all in the world. Mr. Carter lived out his faith and served people around in different forms with humility in his life. Through his unceasing efforts, many places could have peace restored and people's lives were bettered. Mr. Carter, thank you for demonstrating the Christ-like example of servant leadership and showing many how to live a life of service. May God continue to bless many through the good work you have done, and award you eternal rest in peace with him.

Jimmy Carter was a long time hero of mine, modeling humble, can-do, Christian humanitarian action. I'm re-reading his book, “Living Faith”, that reveals how he saw political defeat as an opportunity to release the power of the love of God in Christ to serve the poor, give sight to the blind, build homes for the homeless and be a global peacemaker. I thank God for Jimmy Carter. May we all be gracious, humble, courageous, merciful Christ-like believers in action as he was!

I have been working for the urban poor since 1986 under a government agency, an office catering for the sector across countries. I came across Habitat for Humanity in 1999 when we were having our housing event for the sector. I learned about the large group of volunteers buildings homes in our country, with former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn. I cannot forget that it was said to be the “first blitz build” in Asia with multiple sites in our country was chosen. We where having a program back then in Paran̈aque and Cavite. I am so proud and grateful for the BIG HELP of HFH for my countrymen, to have a decent home, an opportunity to live life in peace and comfort. Salamat.

I’ve been watching coverage on the and legacy of Jimmy Carter. I remember my dad taking me to see him when he came to Columbus, Ohio. He was at Mt Vernon Plaza. To make sure I was remembering correctly I check to see if there was anything out there about his visits to Columbus, Ohio and I found this:
“During his presidential campaign in 1976 and time in the White House, Jimmy Carter visited Columbus a number of times. On Sept. 9, 1976, Carter visited Columbus while campaigning. On Sept. 23, 1978, he spoke at the dedication of Mount Vernon Plaza on the Near East Side. On May 29, 1980, during his unsuccessful campaign for re-election, he gave a speech at the Nationwide Insurance plaza.”
I was 6 years old in 1978 when I saw President Carter and that visit is one of earliest childhood memories that I still remember. I remember there being a huge crowd and sitting on my dad shoulder to get a better look. RIP to a great man and humanitarian.

The Carters represent what is best in our world - faith, commitment, service to others and integrity. Habitat is blessed that the Carters answered the call of Millard and Linda Fuller to help Habitat for Humanity.
