The words “next to them” and “after them” are repeated 30 times in 1 chapter of 32 verses.
Good and great works can only be accomplished by good and great teams. Effective teamwork is not by chance but by choice. Some of these non-negotiable choices are responsibility, reliability, resilience, accountability, and loyalty. The narrative in Chapter 3 is peppered with such characteristics seen in the groups of builders who are “next to one another” or “one after another.” The concept of unity is a combination of these aforementioned factors. Unity is the result of such disciplines. These factors are indispensable for the work of building God’s kingdom.
All it takes for us to accomplish this mission is for every cell group and ministry group to work diligently with discipline without letting up. Shall we, like our predecessors, strengthen our hands to this good work? (Nehemiah 2:18d)
May we continue to cultivate responsibility, reliability, resilience, accountability, and loyalty; the precursors to unity and thereafter accomplishment.

“在他们旁边” 和 “在他们之后” 这两个词在 32 节的一章中重复了 30 次。
伟大的作品只能由优秀的团队完成。有效的团队合作不是偶然,而是选择。这些不可妥协的选择包括责任、可靠性、韧性、问责和忠诚。第三章的叙述充满了这些 “相邻”或“ 一个接一个”建造者群体的特征。统一的概念是上述这些因素的结合。团结正是这些学科的产物。这些因素对于建立神国的工作至关重要。
我们完成这一使命所需的,就是每个小组和事工小组都勤奋且有纪律地工作,不放手。我们是否应该像前辈一样,加强我们的双手,做好这项善事?(尼希米记 2:18d)
愿我们继续培养责任感、可靠性、韧性、问责和忠诚;是合一及随后成就的前奏。
