He plays his role in these efforts as God directs. Issachar’s 200 Cultural Warriors: This band of men will be full of biblical
worldview wisdom and the Holy Spirit. Like the 200 Issacharites (I Chron 12.32), these men will know how to assess the culture as it stands, and then strategize a glorious counterattack for the glory of God and for the sake of the
Kingdom.

   Nehemiah’s Wall Builders: With guidance from others who are building local Christendoms, this band of men will proactively rebuild their local environments based upon the exclusive reign of Christ as King.
