ACTIVATE 4 GOOD
Challenge
The Invitation
For many years Susie and I have started our year praying and asking God what impossible thing He would like us to believe him for. As a result, we have seen God take our offering and multiply it to do incredible things. It is amazing to watch God move, and it completely stretches our faith! This year, we are inviting you to JOIN US.
Our prayer each year starts off with, "God, we want to up our game this year in- MIND, BODY & SPIRIT. As we press in to know you more, we want to grow in health and strength and then use our best energies for the world's greatest needs."
We are asking that you simply pray and ask God that same question, then commit to do whatever he asks of you. We have learned he loves to answer faith-filled prayers like that and then he always provides. You can consider picking up a copy of Susie's book, "Waking Up to the Goodness of God: 40 Days Toward Healing and Wholeness", as a tool for renewing your mind.
Let's see what God will do when we stand together and believe for the impossible!
