Our last Big Day of Serving
October 19 2024
The Nehemiah Initiative Big Day of Service on October 19, 2023 was a great success. Volunteers from all over Altus came together to help 5 homeowners with projects they could not do for themselves.
At one house, we rebuilt a porch for a family that was totally unsafe and made it useful and safe for the use by the entire family and those who visit. The construction team was very effective and learned new techniques along the way. the work was hard, but the company was great and the laughs were many. There was a great sense of satisfaction afterwards and the homeowner was very appreciative.
Another project we completed was painting of a house. We have had several projects at this home to fix plumbing, landscaping, and other minor tasks. The homeowner could not have completed these tasks on her own and was very grateful for the help.
One homeowner received a new floor for a laundry room and the ability to do laundry in her own home. With limited income and a toddler (with lots of dirty clothes), she was very appreciative of the work completed.
Next Big Day of Serving: April 19, 2025 (Saturday)
We are working on our next Big Day of Service to be held on April 19, 2025, Saturday from 8 am to 12pm (or whenever we get to a stopping point). We meet at City Hall, complete some paperwork, have a prayer, and get assignments for the morning then go to the different projects.

AFFECTING COMMUNITY
Nehemiah Initiative affects the community in many ways. One way is to bring members of the community with a heart of helping others together to help homeowners needing help with tasks they can no longer do for themselves.
Another way we affect community is by bringing people together to build community. The church is not just the building we worship in but it is the people who come together and show the grace of God to others.
