Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

A Big Mission

Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem

Over 70 years of desolation overcome in 52 days

Church is battle station, hospital, family, House of Worship, training camp.

Nehemiah 3:1–10 (NLT)

Then Eliashib the high priest and the other priests started to rebuild at the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set up its doors, building the wall as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and the Tower of Hananel.

People from the town of Jericho worked next to them, and beyond them was Zaccur son of Imri.

The Fish Gate was built by the sons of Hassenaah. They laid the beams, set up its doors, and installed its bolts and bars.

Meremoth son of Uriah and grandson of Hakkoz REPAIRED the next section of wall. Beside him were Meshullam son of Berekiah and grandson of Meshezabel, and then Zadok son of Baana.

Next were the people from Tekoa, though their leaders refused to work with the construction supervisors.

The Old City Gate was REPAIRED by Joiada son of Paseah and Meshullam son of Besodeiah. They laid the beams, set up its doors, and installed its bolts and bars.

Next to them were Melatiah from Gibeon, Jadon from Meronoth, people from Gibeon, and people from Mizpah, the headquarters of the governor of the province west of the Euphrates River.

Next was Uzziel son of Harhaiah, a goldsmith by trade, who also worked on the wall. Beyond him was Hananiah, a manufacturer of perfumes. They left out a section of Jerusalem as they REPAIRED the Broad Wall.

Rephaiah son of Hur, the leader of half the district of Jerusalem, was next to them on the wall.

Next Jedaiah son of Harumaph REPAIRED the wall across from his own house, and next to him was Hattush son of Hashabneiah.
