Rise & Build

And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work. (Nehemiah 2:18)

The Rise & Build Campaign exists to inspire and equip followers of Jesus to establish the Kingdom of God in American government and culture. The Campaign uses the book of Nehemiah as a guide.

How Does It Work?

Each Monday a new campaign is published, which includes:
+ Strengthening: Scripture reading from Nehemiah
+ Call to Rise: Brief teaching and encouragement inspired by the week’s scripture
+ Prayer: A prayer of agreement meant to be spoken out loud
+ Build Assignment: Tangible next steps to promote godly change in America

You’ll have all week to complete the Build Assignment. No one will be looking over your shoulder or asking you to give an account for what you have or haven’t done. However, if you want accountability, ask a friend to join the Campaign with you! You can also receive additional encouragement and accountability by joining our Facebook group.

Nehemiah 2:20

God, thank You for freedom and free will. It’s a scary time to speak up, and sometimes I’m afraid. I come before you now and exchange my fear for faith. Holy Spirit, when you prompt me to share truth, refute lies and testify to Your goodness, I will obey. You are my Shepherd and I know Your voice – train my heart to hear it more clearly. Please give me opportunities to speak up for truth, and grace to do it with supernatural effectiveness. If others respond with offense and hate, help me to still unashamedly speak truth with gentleness and respect. Lead me to resources that will help me be educated and informed. Help me connect with others who will link arms with me in this process. Wherever You are, Holy Spirit, there is liberty! God, may I experience Your presence in my heart, in my home, in my neighborhood and everywhere I go. In Jesus’ name; Amen.
