Rise Up & Build...  

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.

Future Rise Up and Build missions trips are being planned...
so start planning now!

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
