V2 Valor - Nehemiah - Introduction Nehemiah was a man of prayer, passion, and great persistent faith. Pastor Jeff introduces us to the Book of Nehemiah, focusing on the foundation and principles of prayer and how to handle the challenges of life the right way. Nehemiah had a burden for God and his people-and God used Nehemiah's willingness to bring people back to Himself. "The walls were built by the prayers of Nehemiah," says Pastor Jeff.
