Nehemiah 6:3
New King James Version
3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

Nicholas Karinge
Founder
Nicholas "Nick" Karinge, the visionary and co-founder of Nehemiah's Wall, is a remarkable individual who has overcome incredible odds in his life. Born deaf with cerebral palsy in Massachusetts, he was not expected to walk, talk, or hear. However, through the miraculous grace of God, he was healed from his deafness and has made great physical improvements. Recently earning a BA in Biblical Studies from Gordon College, Nick's journey is a testament to his faith and determination.
Having come to Christ at a young age and called into ministry at 13, Nick has always had a passion for leading young people to encounter God personally. He also desires to see young men rise up as godly leaders. His dedication to this cause led him to be elected as the Deputy National Director of A Promise Generation, the young adults department of Kenya Christian Fellowship in America.
In addition to his ministry work, Nick is actively involved in inspiring and educating his community about possibilities for societal equality for people with disabilities. His story serves as an inspiration to all who know him.
