When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. - Nehemiah 1:4
The book of Nehemiah has played a significant role in shaping Hands at Work. In the story, Nehemiah encourages a community to build a protective wall around Jerusalem after it had been destroyed, leaving the people inside vulnerable and defenceless. The way Nehemiah does this is to ask each person to step outside of their house and build a section of the wall there.
Over the next four weeks, we will be sharing passages from the book of Nehemiah and prayer points related to how we can live out what we are reading.
