Jeremiah Initiative (JI) is the name chosen for Lehigh's response to God's call to "Strengthen and Support Congregations."  At its core, it's an invitation to trust in God's Word and follow God's leading as we look to the future.  The name itself comes from God's words through the prophet:

"For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."         
Jeremiah 29:11
