Wall of Faith Craft Project
Nehemiah depended upon his faith to find the strength to take on the big job of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. In our daily lives, we, too, need to trust God to help us live the right way. In this project, we build a wall of faith to remind us of how God helped Nehemiah rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Add pictures and words to the bricks that will help you make good choices and give you strength in sad times.
