PAGE 12 JULY 2019 ||www.bymonline.org Rebuild 2021 Nehemiah was burdened about the broken walls of Jerusalem. He prayed and acted. The wall was rebuilt in just 52 days. It was a God initiated rebuilding programme. The Blessing Youth Mission came into being in the year 1972 with the twin slogans of Revival and Evangelism. In the beginning, the founding fathers neither thought of any organisational structure nor of buildings. But as days progressed and when the movement started to spread across the land, both the organisation structure and the buildings became a necessity. Our first Mission Station is Sitteri where we now, regularly organize Halo and Aroma. Later on, 'Blessing Centres' (as we normally call our Mission Stations), came into being in Karnataka, Andhra, Odisha, M.P, Maharashtra ,Rajasthan and Gujarat. Today we have around 40 Mission Stations all across India.

Missionaries stay with less facilities. Our children homes lack good kitchen and dining amenities. Is it not our duty to renovate and rebuild the Mission Stations? Soon, we are going to celebrate 50 years of BYM's ministry in India. Prior to that, we as a team of professional laymen, desire to renovate, paint and provide basic amenities to the field missionaries. This includes repair of Mission Stations, construction of simple compound walls, electrification, flooring, repair of toilets, changing of Asbestos roofing into GCI sheet roofing, supply of generators, renovation of kitchen in case of children's homes, repair and renovation of missionaries quarters, painting, providing better window shutters and other petty works. Many people are motivated to give for new Church buildings. But the present pressing need is to renovate and to rebuild the Mission Stations. Don't our missionaries need a better place to stay? Don't the kids whom we sponsor deserve to live in better homes? The estimated budget for the rebuild works is Rs.50 lakhs for the first year. There is no 'small amount' in the Kingdom of God and your contribution will make us realise this vision within the time frame. The work has been started in Odisha. We plan to move on to Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. If God burdens you to be a part of this 'Rebuild' programme, kindly call us or email us. We are also in need of professional help. If you are a plumber, electrician, mason, painter, labourer, fabricator, we encourage you to join us and invest your technical acumen in God's kingdom work. You can commit as 'Rebuild Volunteers' to use your professional skills for a specified period of time, (4 to 10 days) depending upon the job. If you are willing, we are here to guide you.

Let us together build the Kingdom of God. “Come, let us build” (Nehemiah 2:17) Do not miss the revival messages in Tamil that we air in the Sathiyam TV every Wednesday 5:30 AM - 6:00 AM.
