2008 Nehemiah Project

 

Many of the boys of Goshen Valley Boys Ranch participated in the Nehemiah Project this week.  Reinhardt College was the home base for the week and all work was done within Cherokee County. 

 The vision of the Nehemiah Project is to foster a passion for godly service in the name of Jesus Christ.  By becoming the hands and feet of Christ, the youth experienced Jesus through direct service ministry.  In response to the awesome love of Jesus Christ in our lives, we are compelled to share and extend that love by serving others.
           
 The Nehemiah Project was a 4-day event filled with daily worship, spiritual speakers and community service.  Three days of community service consisted of painting homes, re-roofing, and repair of porches and steps for elderly people in our community.
 
 Each evening had awesome worship, inspirational speakers, and tons of fun.  It was an incredible experience for the youth!  The Nehemiah Project fosters the development of servants’ hearts, a love of work missions and a network of new friendships among local Christian youth groups. 

 

 

"The God of Heaven will give us success.  We, his servants, will start rebuilding."  

Nehemiah 2:20

Matthew 22:37-39 

Jesus replied:  'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

 

Galatians 5:22-23 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
