Nehemiah used two city rebuilding strategies:
1. He encouraged families to rebuild the city where they lived.
2. He told all the families to come together when he blew the trumpet.
We are encouraging both during Jesus week:
1. That THE CHURCH would PRAY AND WORK TOGETHER as the family of God in every zip code in our city.
2. That THE CHURCH would GATHER TOGETHER as ONE BODY to make His praise glorious in our city.
Prayer and Resource Distribution Rallies !!!

PRAY NY
Participate in PRAY NY: Mobilize your church to pray in your zip code on May 27th to kick off Jesus Week (any or every day of the week is fine as well – just save energy for Times Square).
For over ten years, PRAY NY Churches have “prayer walked” and ministered in every zip code in NYC. Jesus commanded us to go into the highways, the streets and the lanes to compel the lost to come in (Lk. 13:21,23).
The Lord promised Joshua, “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you” (Josh. 1:3).
We have seen God do marvelous work as we obey His command to “possess the land.”
Hope Day
EMPOWER
We believe in uniting churches, as well as equipping them with resources & training to help prepare them to transform their community through a Hope Day event.
TRANSFORM
We work with churches to host events within their community, which offer families & individuals free resources such as food, shoes, haircuts, & more.
LOVE
Ultimately at the end of the day, our hope & prayer is that every guest who attends a Hope Day event will experience the love of Christ through our staff & volunteers.

More Ways To Help…
Prayer Stations: Set up a table with a banner that says: “Prayer Station” in a strategic area. Offer prayer, Bibles and literature. You can order these tables from YWAM or make your own. Learn More Here
Movie Outreach Events: Last year many churches engaged in the “Risen Movie Event.” Congregants invited friends and neighbors view a free movie. Popcorn and/or hot dogs were served and the Gospel was preached. This is a very low cost/high impact outreach. There are many wonderful Christian Movies available now.
Books and Flowers Day: Distribute Christian Children’s books and plant flowers in neighborhoods that you believe would appreciate this outreach.
Children’s Book Drive: Many children in NYC neighborhoods do not have a single book that they call their own. Many families in our churches have hundreds of books gathering dust in their attic. Consider reaching out to a Title 1 school in your area and offer to provide children’s books for the children to take home for summer reading. The principal may allow you to facilitate a “Free Book Fair.”
Paint Classrooms In A Local School: We have partners that can help to facilitate and/or supply paint for this outreach.
Free Family Portraits: Invite your neighbors to come to church and offer to take a free family portrait. Serve coffee and snacks while people wait for the picture. Have your church members socialize with them. Let them know that they can pick up their portraits in church the following Sunday.
