Breach Builder’s Orientation Plans

by Bert

      We here at Breach Builders Ministry have developed our method of ministry from the life of Nehemiah. While we realized that Jesus is our ultimate example and guide in all things, we believe other Bible characters afford us an appropriate example for our work today. Nehemiah was a man of strong faith and energetic action. These characteristics were a result of his long hours in prayer and meditation. The life of Nehemiah is a fruitful study for modern-day Christians who are honest in heart, and longing to go home to be with Jesus, forever. Ellen G. White wrote much regarding the life of this illustrious Bible character. We are told that the history of Nehemiah will be repeated in the Seventh-day Adventist Church during this time.

“The experience of Nehemiah is repeated in the history of God's people in this time. Those who labor in the cause of truth will find that they cannot do this without exciting the anger of its enemies.” Christian Services p.173

Though we incur opposition in the ministry of “present truth”, Breach Builders Ministry has learn to move forward in faith. Our ministry efforts are directed to people of all faiths, as well as our brothers and sisters of the S.D.A  world wide church. However, the conditions of the S.D.A church today is such that we feel compelled to place specific emphasis in that direction. 

     In 1904, the servant of the Lord, Ellen G. White, wrote nineteen articles in which she specifically devoted to the life of Nehemiah. This series of articles are entitled “Lessons From the Life of Nehemiah.” I have found the life of Nehemiah to be based on solid principles that define the role of church leadership, and church membership. I believe much of the information we find in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy on this subject is critical to the much needed revival and reformation within Adventism.

       In my studies of the life of Nehemiah, I have further discovered his example of persevering prayer, of covenant keeping, of personal resolves to seek heavenly wisdom for direction to help remedy Israel’s backsliding. As a result of his search, Nehemiah was struck early on with a vision of the greatness of God, consequently he decided to seek him in faith. Much of the efforts of Breach Builders Ministry are encapsulated in the example and life of Nehemiah. In his life we see exemplified a humble and teachable spirit, yet he was a man of wise energetic action. The aim and goal of Breach Builders Ministry is to set before our beloved brothers and sisters of the Seventh-day Adventist faith the principals and practices of Nehemiah's experience, both by precept and example. As far as the precepts of Nehemiah is concern, we will select the most important and most applicable subjects from the following list of subjects to rightly represent the example of our duty and work during this time in earth’s history.

1.      A Holy Purpose to Restore Jerusalem

2.      Prevailing Prayer

4.      A Night of Preparation

5.      Securing the Cooperation of the People

7.      Derision and Discouragement

8.      Courage and Perseverance

9.      Disaffection Among the Believers

10.  A Rebuke Against the Extortionist

11.  Integrity in Business Affairs

12.  Heathen Plots – part 1.

13.  Heathen Plots – part 2.

14.  The People Instructed in the Law of God

15.  The Solemn Fast

16.  A Sabbath Reformation

17.  The Sacredness of God’s Law

18.  Separation of Israel From Idolaters

19.  The Need of True Reformers Within Adventism

     We here at Breach Builders Ministry believe the time is come for a revival in God’s remnant church - the Seventh-day Adventist Church. While we realize that not all will respond to this call of mercy, like Nehemiah, we look for those who are willing to be made willing. Along with our personal services for the members of God's remnant church, and the power of the Holy Spirit, we hope to: “strengthened their hands for this good work.” Neh. 2:18. In our travels from state to state, and country to country, we are convinced that God is calling for many within Adventism to pick up their part in this great work, especially the youth and young adult. We solicit volunteers to help out in our ministry efforts, and we hope to form a bond of union upon the platform of truth throughout North America and other parts of the world. We are reminded of the words of Ellen White with respect to the need for Nehemiah’s in the church: “There is need of Nehemiahs in the church today,--not men who can pray and preach only, but men whose prayers and sermons are braced with firm and eager purpose.” 3BC 1137. We solicit your prayers and your support in our efforts to bring about this end. We also appeal to you reader, in the words of Nehemiah: “…come, and let us build up the wall (standards) of Jerusalem (Adventism), that we be no more a reproach.” Neh. 2:17
