Our Process Listening Every year, leaders meet with others from their congregation to discuss community problems. Through these conversations, common areas of concern emerge. Leaders then vote to determine a few major priorities to focus on. Research Leaders form research committees to determine viable solutions that will resolve the problems long-term, as well as the public officials in their community who have the authority to implement those solutions. Action Organizations then hold a large public meeting called a Nehemiah Action. Members from all of the congregations involved (usually thousands of supporters) gather to negotiate solutions with public officials in attendance.
