In 2001 a friend invited me to go on a mission trip to build a Sunday school wing on a church in the Navajo reservation in Sanders, Arizona. 9/11 happened during that project. Anyway I went back to the Navajo reservation 3 or 4 more times and during that course of time, a bible study that I was leading here at home, bought the pastor there in Sanders, AZ. a mobile home. It was a 3 bedroom single
wide mobile home; she was a single lady with a lot of room so she took in 3 kids off the reservation that were in an abusive home. Helping one person, who in turn was able to help so many others, did something inside me. I was doing some local projects around my home, when Katrina hit the Gulf coast. I went with Men and Woman of Action on two different occasions to repair churches in Mobile, Al. and the 9th. Ward in New Orleans. I was still helping ministries and widows around home between these trips. In Oct. 2011 we took a group from Park West church to Chauvin, La. and remodeled a church that had been abandoned, so they a willing pastor could resume services in the small bayou community. So all this time this desire to do more of this type of ministry was being birthed in me. I went to Moore, OK. With MWOA in June of 2013, on a disaster relief team after the tornados there, during that time I was already praying about organizing a ministry to enable us to do more here in our own community. This is when Nehemiah Projects was born. So now I am recruiting team members and team leaders to help me, when Nehemiah Projects gets a request from a widow, single mom, or a pastor, we can do the repairs or help with whatever the need might be.
