“My favorite scene in Nehemiah is found in chapter 3, and this is at the very heart of why we’ve named our new strategic plan the Nehemiah Initiative. The emphasis is not on bricks and mortar, but instead it’s about trusting God to use us to accomplish something only He can do and to engage in this work together.
As the chapter unfolds, we see a beautiful tapestry of God’s people from all walks of life, accomplishing the impossible together—all working side by side, with a shared vision, and the resolve to be part of something so big that only God could do it.”
— President Adam J. Morris, PhD
The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build.Nehemiah 2:20 (NKJV)
