Today in the 31-Day Challenge, We read…
“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” Mark 8:36
If you’ve signed up for the 31-day challenge, you are probably feeling led to make a difference for God’s Kingdom right where he has planted you. For many, it boils down to a question of significance. How can I make my career a cause, to have an eternal impact, and not just get a paycheck? God used the church in Antioch to intentionally develop disciples (like Saul and Barnabas) not merely for the church’s benefit, but to turn them loose as ambassadors for Christ in every location and every vocation. We are convinced that God will show you how to do that and more, simply by taking this journey with us. Are you ready?
The road ahead will not be easy, and Satan will do his best to keep you from it. You need dedicated prayer warriors to lift you up daily for the next 31 days. So, your challenge for day 1 is to find at least one person who will stand beside you in prayer as you walk this path. Two or three would be even better!
