Nehemiah Project

The Nehemiah Project is a Christian Community Development Program in Chisholm:

Key Elements of Christian Community Development

Christian community development is a church-based ministry among the poor.

• Begins with felt needs of the people in the community
• Responds to those needs in a wholistic way
• Is based on clear biblical principles
• Is “time-tested”
• Develops and utilizes leaders from within the community
• Encourages relocation – living among the poor
• Demands reconciliation – people to God and people to people
•  Empowers the poor through redistribution – all community members sharing their skills, talents, education, and resources to help each other.
