Bricks and mortar can seem pretty boring unless you’ve read the story of Nehemiah. Remember him? He was the cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. His heart was broken by the fact that the wall of Jerusalem was in ruins, yet he displayed a heroic spirit while enduring significant hardship and oppression to rebuild it. The wall reconstruction highlights four principles:
compassion
is the springboard of obedience to God’s will
cooperation
with others is required to carry out God’s will
confidence
results from fervent prayer and
courage
is manifested as God’s people carry our His will in an uncompromising manner
In the past few years, we have experienced tremendous growth. We welcome the challenge to accommodate this growth, but can sometimes put a strain on our brick and mortar. This need includes needing additional office space to host educational seminars, post family placement visits, support groups, and up to date technology.
