RECOGNIZING NEHEMIAH ALLIANCE'S 52-DAY REBUILD INITIATIVE Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 143 (Thursday, September 10, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 143 (Thursday, September 10, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E892] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING NEHEMIAH ALLIANCE'S 52-DAY REBUILD INITIATIVE ______ HON. LISA C. McCLAIN of michigan in the house of representatives Thursday, September 10, 2026 Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Nehemiah Alliance's 52-Day Rebuild Initiative which begins on sundown September 10th and lasts until sundown on November 1st. Modeled after the Biblical account in the Book of Nehemiah where Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem's walls in 52 days, the Rebuild Initiative is a national spiritual movement that calls on people of faith to unify in extended prayer, fasting, repentance, and intercession for the renewal of the United States and the rebuilding of its spiritual walls. There is no better time to call for taking up this task than the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding. As we continue celebrating the 250th birthday of our great country, I am reminded of the great fortune we are all afforded from our First Amendment, especially our Freedom of Religion. As the highest-ranking woman in Congress, and as a person of deep faith, I wake up every day determined to fight for these continued freedoms. May God Bless all of those who are participating in this Initiative, and may God continue to Bless the United States of America. ____________________
