NT for Filipinos

The Vision

Leading young people to finish the Great Commission in this generation.

Why Nehemiah Teams?

In 52 days, Nehemiah led his people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, restore a nation & revive a people. It was a short-term project that had eternal results. In the same way, Nehemiah Teams are leading the next generation to build up a wall & stand in the gap among the unreached & hard to reach. Nehemiah Teams offer short-term mission projects that have eternal results.
Nehemiah Teams (NT) is a one-month mission experience, beginning with a 4-day orientation, followed by 27 days of ministry & ending with a 2-day debrief. Team members must attend the entire time from orientation until debrief.
