Prayer Walking Nashville’s New Property!
May 23, 2013
Last week in Nashville, we held a prayer walk at our future property! We believe that prayer is foundational to everything we do at The Next Door and deeply appreciate all of our prayer warriors who attended. God has given us the task of building a new facility and we continually seek His guidance for all decisions along the way! If you would like to join our weekly prayer email update, please email Laura Weibezahn.
Please pray for us in the following ways:
-Pray for our Construction Team as they finalize our budget and design elements.
-Pray for protection, strength, wisdom, and discernment for the our current residents and staff.
-Pray for The Next Door’s Board of Directors as they continue to give excellent and visionary leadership to the organization.
-Pray that Individuals, Churches and Corporations will desire to join our prayer team and give financially.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Suzanne’s TNDTestimony
April 26, 2013
“I have lived for one reason, to feel alive. Unfortunately I turned to alcohol and drugs to achieve this end. But with the help of The Next Door, I’ve learned that true inebriation is living with a keen awareness of a Power greater than myself. As my soul heals, I don’t need alcohol to get drunk anymore. Thank you The Next Door for a soft bed, a place to shower, food to eat, clothes to wear, occupation, my Higher Power, my life path of recovery, love and encouragement. In short, for my life!”

You can bring a meal and eat with our families or fund a meal if that is more convenient.
