Rise Up
& Build ...
Since January of 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.
T hen 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.
