3. The Message of Nehemiah
1. Vision comes to the one who cares and prays 異象的來源 - 聽聞, 禱告, 不斷的禱告
2. Serving God is not a chore, He will reward you, your family and the generations to come 服事主不只是義務 - 還有恩惠和祝福.
3. Build with unity and faith, for your family and the larger family, and the future generations 城牆一日沒修好,我們一日沒安寧之日, 家人,后人的幸福在於我們手裡.
4. Lasting rebuilding is our inner life – from the Word of God. 堅持到底 - 徹底的改革需要回神的話語. 全民悔改!
