Executive Director James Hall of Nehemiah's Vision was happy to hear the news announced by James Wilson of the Galveston County Housing Assistance Program that this faith- based, non-profit ministry has been named as one of the five rehabilition and repair companies to begin work under the Community Development Block Grant funding program. "This is the first time, to my knowledge, a faith-based ministry has been named in this government program," said Hall. "We are so pleased that our work has been examined and that we have been found to be above par. What it means to others in the county is that we can continue in helping to rebuild and repair homes damaged by Hurricane Ike."
Nehemiah's Vision has personnel in place to execute the lengthy bidding process, purchase needed materials, and obtain permitting in order to repair homes for those who have now been waiting for almost two years to get back into a comfortable living position. During the spring and summer months, volunteers come from across the country to give valuable work hours and skill in building, repairing, and helping to provide hope for those disasters have affected. Local churches and civic group often partner with Nehemiah's Vision in providing a wonderful mission trip, providing valuable service, and in winning people to Christ.
