Community Revitalization
The Nehemiah Initiative

Community-led Revitalization Effort
 Establishing Self Sufficient People in a Healthy Community

Have you come to a place in your life where you are saying I'm tired of seeing my community fall apart?  Have you come to a place in your life where you are crying out to the Lord for help to restore your community?

We believe that Nehemiah began where many of us are today, he began praying asking God to repair the walls.  Pretty soon, he began asking God how he could repair the walls, and he began seeking God's advice for plans for repairing the walls. As he did this, God made an opportunity for Nehemiah to put his plans in action to repair the walls and bring restoration to Jerusalem,

God desires that are land be healed.  In 2 Chronicles chapter 7 verse 14, God said:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (KJV)

The purpose of The Salvage Yard is to turn our hearts to God and to encourage the seekers to come into a deeper relationship with the Lord.  As we seek his face, listen to his voice, and obey his commandments by turning from our wicked ways, God will forgive us and heal our land.

As we come to the Lord, we believe he will be asking us to begin to let our light shine and impact our communities.  When Jesus' followers through out history have made this commitment the Holy Spirit has showed up and tremendous things have happened.

We believe this is one of those times.  But it takes work and cooperation.   The other web pages in The Salvage Yard are designed to encourage a deeper walk with the Lord, and we are anticipating that the Lord will seed visions and passionate desires in His people to impact their communities.

In the days of Nehemiah, Nehemiah encouraged the inhabitants of Jerusalem to work together.  He linked hand in hand and helped cast a vision to restore the walls in record time.  We believe this is what the Lord is trying to do today. 

One of the purposes of The Salvage Yard is to encourage people across a community to place their hands into those around them and to work together to build the kingdom of God. 

Won't you join us in a prayer asking God to reveal his plans and how we should be involved to heal this nation.
