I don't know what a Christian mortgage is! I think that there are non-Christians who pay their mortgages, too, and Christians who live in McMansions who are up to date on their payments. This is the kind of thinkiing that divides our country. There are lots of reasons that people say " Not in my neighborhood" , because they are afraid of reaching out and seeing the bigger world.

Habitat has opportunity for all...see if you have a local restore in your area. Worked at mine (in Flagstaff) Tuesday - hard work, moving loads from trucks, etc- but it's so worthwhile. And the donations do so much good. They need help- donations-time- whatever you can spare.
