In our country there is a great need to help men, women & children
rebuild there lives after imprisonment. To do this we need to plan, and
we would like to point you to Nehemiah 2:11-17 and this commentary on those
words:
“Nehemiah felt led by the God to rebuild the great walls of Jerusalem.
It would have been a noble and emotional project for almost any self-respecting
Jewish leader. But Nehemiah demonstrated good leadership by resisting the temptation
to charge in and start slapping mortar on stones. First he made a careful survey
of the city’s walls, noting what the rebuilding would require. Later
he formulated a plan and oversaw the work, financing much of it out of his
own pocket. When God call us to a task, He is calling upon the whole package: Our
abilities, out intelligent planning and our hard work” (from the Touch
Point Bible)
We have set out to try and build a network of reintegration
centres (half-way houses) across the country which operate within
certain parameters based on proven track records investigated internationally,
but taking into consideration the special circumstances of our coutry.
One of our objectives will be to create a directory of "associated
centres" who are working together under a umbrella organisation,
while retaining their individual identity. If you are aware of any
such centres, please be so kind as to put them into contact with
us - contact details are obtainable under the CONTACT button above.
