The need was great when Nehemiah led the effort to rebuild the wall. And while everyone couldn't do it all, all could do something. It is the same today as our country's and communities' needs are great. Nehemiah assigned places on the wall. God assigns places on the earth. Our assignment: Build up people, build relationships, build trust.
