About- Long Story

Welcome to House of 712

House of 712 was founded with a profound mission to nurture relationships and create a caring world. We aren’t experts in humanity or Christianity, but we are wholeheartedly committed to learning and growing alongside our community. “You are the light of the world…and it gives light to all who are in the house.” This powerful message reminds us that each individual holds an inner light capable of illuminating the darkest corners of our world.

The short story of our mission can be explained with a few quotes that have inspired us to “cast our stone”:

1. “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40
2. Steve Jobs once said, “The people who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world are the ones who do.”
3. “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
4. “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” — Mother Teresa

The faces behind our messages

From our early days, marked by grief and tumultuous lessons, our journey as partners and parents led us to a shared mission for change. Driven by a desire to make something beautiful from our trials and trauma, we set in motion a mission for a better world, one kind act a thousand times over. We strive to evolve into champions for integrity, love and empathy, proving that the road to a compassionate world is built on the foundations of healed relationships.

Through acts of love, both big and small, we are constantly reminded that true change begins with how we treat each other.

Inspired by the teachings of Jesus to love our neighbors as ourselves and embracing Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to transcend our individual concerns for the greater good of humanity, alongside Mother Teresa’s conviction in the ripple effect of single actions, our goal is to cultivate profound, authentic connections—anchored in faith, family, and fellowship.

Embracing our greater purpose means letting go of our selfishness and opening our hearts to serve beyond ourselves in God’s grand design. We’re crazy enough to believe we can succeed at any mission God calls us to, and we believe in the divine calling to unite with others to nurture and respect both the human and animal world.

Our Mission

To honor God, cherish our families, and love neighbors, to weave a tapestry of interconnectedness and compassion- a legacy of love that outlives us.

Core Values

Our core values of connection, compassion, and collaboration drive us to create a supportive community based on mutual respect and understanding.

Embodying our mission and values require a unique blend of character traits that reflect deep compassion, unwavering dedication, self-awareness and collective mindfulness:

1. Empathy – The ability to understand and share the feelings of others, driving the core of our mission to connect and care.
2. Integrity – Staying true to our values, even when faced with challenges, demonstrating honesty and strong moral principles.
3. Servant Leadership – Leading by example, prioritizing the well-being of others, and serving the community with a heart full of grace and love, much like Jesus.
4. Inclusivity – Embracing diversity and striving for a world where everyone feels valued and included, reflecting our commitment to loving our neighbors.
5. Courage – The boldness to stand up for what is right, to challenge the status quo, and to take actions that drive change, inspired by visionaries like Jesus, Nehemiah, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and Malala Yousafzai.
6. Resilience – Demonstrating strength and flexibility in the face of adversity, ensuring that our mission endures through challenges and evolves over time.
7. Gratitude – Recognizing and appreciating the value in every moment and every interaction, fostering a culture of thankfulness that enriches our connections.

These traits, woven together, embody the spirit of our mission and guide us in creating a more loving, connected, and compassionate world.
