NEHEMIAH PROJECT UPDATE - 62 wall section commitments

Orland Park Church families were given a challenge this morning to commit funding for completing the wall around the Hogar Amor orphanage.  A much needed wall around the 5 acre property for the safety of the children, and for the orphanage to utilize good stewardship of the property.

In Nehemiah 3-6 there were groups of people who committed to rebuilding a section of the walls of Jerusalem - it was completed in 52 days!

The wall around Hogar Amor can be completed in 150 sections. Each of these sections will cost $350 to complete.  A quarter of the wall is already completed (37 sections).

The challenge to Orland Park Church members was to find yourself a group (family, MOPS, small group, neighbors, co-workers, etc) to commit to raise $350 by the end of the year to build 1 section of the wall.

We are EXCITED to let you know that of the 113 sections needed, we have commitments for 62 of these sections - with 13 of the commitments completely paid for!

God CAN do ANYTHING!
