Nehemiah is a book about the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem after the exiles had returned. The city went a while without being rebuilt and when Nehemiah decided to rebuild it there was opposition on every side. However the impossible was in fact possible. It took time, determination and perseverance trusting in God to make the way.
This inspired our class to discuss all the impossible things in our own lives that we would love to see happen either in our present lives or the future. Some talked of careers and others...homework, but seriously there was good discussion and thought about future dreams etc. I talked with the class about a 24 year old named Katie Davis with Amazima Ministries, Click here. It is amazing to discuss the faith and adventure in a young lady that is just like these students but a few years older living in Uganda with 13 adopted daughters and running a ministry that is supporting over 1200 children and families a week.
The students were inspired and felt called to help Katie and the kids in Uganda too! They are now bringing in their loose change to collect in a jar for Amazima. They are trying to bring in $25 a month as it is a way to help on the website. It says $25 a month will help provide over 600 children with education, food, school supplies, and discipleship.
I am so proud of these students and looking forward to helping Katie's kids! If you get a chance read her book, Kisses from Katie.
