The Sword & The Trowel - PRAY (Nehemiah 1)
Nehemiah shapes our vision as we look toward 2026, calling us back to God’s heart for His people. Prayer is not passive - it’s how God aligns our hearts and moves us from comfort to faithful action. We are the Church: living stones built on Christ, called to build God’s work while standing firm in faith. True prayer places our “yes” on the table, leading us to serve, lead, and go where God sends. Though the cultural moment is sobering, God continues to work through faithful local churches. Our invitation is simple: pray and fast together, practice the ACTS model, and consider how God may be asking you to put your yes on the table because we believe His people were built for this.
