“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!””
our Missions Focus for MAY 2026
Nehemiah Construction Ministries (NCM) is a growing team of individuals who have a heart to reach out to the widows, orphans, and the underprivileged of our world. Our passion to help comes from the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40, “As you have done unto the least of these brothers of mine you have done unto me.”

Since 2004, NCM has been involved with construction projects, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and bringing fresh clean water to those who are thirsty. Nehemiah Construction is a ministry of The Great Commission Foundation (the "Foundation"), which operates through Donor-Advised Funding. In 2006, Nehemiah Construction Ministries launched the Drill for Life Project. By the fall of 2007, we began drilling water wells—bringing clean, life-saving water to communities in need. Nehemiah Construction Ministries focuses on initiatives that make a lasting impact on children at risk—the future leaders of our world. Your support helps us carry out this mission, and we’re deeply grateful for it. As of January 2026, we have successfully drilled over 176 water wells and repaired approximately 138 wells to supply clean, safe drinking water to tens of thousands in the Turkana region.
Nurture Pregnancy Centre. Our faith-based organization believes in the intrinsic value of every individual, offering caring support and empowering resources during and after pregnancy.
On behalf of Nurture Pregnancy Centre, thank you for partnering with us in this year’s Baby Bottle Campaign, Hope in Every Bottle. We are deeply grateful for your willingness to come alongside us in serving mothers, babies, and families in our community.
Your partnership is a meaningful expression of the love and compassion of Christ in action, and we truly value the role your congregation plays in bringing hope and support to those who need it most.
The campaign runs from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, and through it, we are reminded that each bottle represents an opportunity to extend care, encouragement, and hope to a mom in need. Thank you again for your partnership, your generosity, and your faithful commitment to this work. You can learn more by watching the video below!
Bottles can be picked up at the Hillcrest info Hub or Office and dropped off to same.
