"The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire." (Nehemiah 1:3) That was the report about Jerusalem that Nehemiah heard that brought him to tears and led him to fast and pray. God answered his prayer through King Artaxerxes who sent Nehemiah back to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls. God's people at Emmanuel were scattered by a pandemic and an extended vacancy and our facilities are aging. The Artaxerxes Project identifies facility needs and encourages God's people to participate in the rebuilding project even as God's people once rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem.
