Nehemiah’s Wheel
Our transformational approach to City Impact Training for complex social problems.
Nehemiahs Wheel is our model for city transformation. It shows our process to help form networks of community members, organizations, and institutions who advance social righteousness, and benefaction by learning together, aligning, and integrating their actions to achieve systems level change. Major societal change requires the partnership of diverse organizations working together for good. The work of city transformation will require thoughtful design and faith filled collaboration.
We are called to demonstrate the good news of God’s ability to redeem, reconcile and restore humanity to self, others, creation, and God. In all cases, whether in big or small ways, we are invited to advocate the cause of the marginalized and the oppressed and promote peace and justice in the land where we live.
