Update On Nehemiah Mesquite Mission

The Nehemiah Mesquite Mission will not be working as much in the Valley View Heights Neighborhood this week due to some other important works going on in Mesquite. However, I do hope to get with James, our future crimewatch chairman for Rose, Lilac and Carnation Streets. I am hopeful we can get some details together and try to schedule our first crimewatch meeting some time in November Lord willing.

After our first crime watch meeting, I am hopeful to schedule a neighborhood block party after that to just bring neighbors together and bring about fellowship. Jesus tells us to love our neighbors!

I am also hopeful we will be able to schedule a special time in November for prayer for that neighborhood—for everyone who lives there who may be unemployed or struggling financially.
We need volunteers to help with helping those families who legitimately need help with their lawns or with cutting down bushes and overhanging limbs that are code violations. Or maybe we can help people find some second hand mowers if they need them. I know of one widow on Rose Street that I have not gotten to talk to yet, who I am sure needs some help here and there. I am also hopeful we can schedule a “Trash Bash” soon and get as many volunteers as we can and just walk up and down every street and pick up trash and litter—and of course, try to involve some of the residents to help us—as it is their street and their neighborhood! We just want to be helpful neighbors! And Lord willing, after some of the Valley View Heights residents get their rougher spots up to par and feel better about where they live and run crime out—perhaps they can then help us go into other older and neglected neighborhoods and carry on the work of rebuilding and bringing about hope!

Over the years, I have seen people who live at Allenhurst Apartments who became Christians while living there or who were already Christians—but they received needed help at times, later go help us with mission work at Peachtree Apartments. I think some call it “Paying It Forward.” I call it, having a grateful heart for what Jesus has done for all of us!

Lets keep that momentum going! Please pray for God to bless the Nehemiah Mesquite Mission!
