This is a really big commitment you're about to undertake if you do go ahead.

So be very, very sure you know exactly WHY you want to do this, before making your decision.

The first thing to consider is: "where are you at today?"  Do you relate to the following......

Am I feeling too comfortable and complacent in my walk with God? Has my spiritual life become stale and stagnant? Is there a painful absence of real fruit from my faith? Is my spirit restless and troubled with the plight of the lost? Am I happy and content with the eternal difference I am making with my life at the moment? Am I faithfully doing what I know God has called me to do?

Believers, please know that God is on the move!  His Spirit is alive in us!

He is stirring His family here on earth to seek and follow after Him.  It's OK to admit you might be going through the above situations in your life - at least you can now do something about them.

Cost

There will be a cost to put your life, your career or your studies on hold to participate in the Challenge.  Of course there will be.

Will you let that be your excuse not to?  Is it not worth it?

What did other men and women of God think about this dilemma?

Seek Him and His Kingdom with all your heart and everything you need (including answers to your prayers) will be provided.  (Matthew 6:33)

Attitude

Our atittudes will release us into God's will for our lives.  Or they will limit us.

If you knew that Jesus was coming back in your lifetime, it would change the whole way you thought, acted and lived out the rest of your life.  Wouldn't it?

So then - live as though Jesus was coming in your lifetime.  In the next year even.  So that you may know how to live, and what your real priorities in life should be.

God desires willing and teachable hearts; humble and broken hearts He will not despise.

If we learn to partner with God, allowing Him to work His will in and through our lives, we will discover the full measure of the good things He has planned for us.  (Philemon 1:6)

Become a Kingdom-builder; be a disciple and follower of Jesus Christ, and help be a disciple-maker.

It has been said before that you shouldn't argue: "Give me one good reason Lord why I should go?" but rather "Give me one good reason Lord why I shouldn't?"

Will you be brutally honest with God today and ask Him?
