PROJECT: NEHEMIAH
A Community Development Service of Praise Tabernacle Worship Center established in 2003 is an IRS 501(c)3 corporation and is incorporated in the State of California. The vision for Project Nehemiah was that of the late Bishop Eugene Brown who witnessed the devastation caused by the civil riots that initiated at the intersection of Florence and Normandie in April 1992. "The bricks and rocks used to beat that truck driver were the building materials from the church construction," recounts Bishop Eugene Brown and he was determined to see healing and change in the community.
