Rise Up & Build 2006...  

Early in 2006, your friends and neighbors
across ND, SD, MT headed south to rebuild homes
and the lives of those affected by the
devastating recent hurricanes.

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me ...
And they said, Let us rise up and build.

So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
Nehemiah 2:18
