Kingdom Worker Challenges

The last night of CIY, the staff put out a challenge. Each student was given a card in an enclosed envelope. The challenge was that the students had to do whatever was written on the card. There was no obligation to do open, but the understanding was if you opened one, you were committing to accomplishing the task on the card. Some of the challenges are hard and can't be done my oneself, others are easy to do and don't need a lot of planning. The purpose of these was not to see failure, but to see a community of believers gather around one another and accomplish the task together. Here is a list our students and their challenges...

Jessica Lueckenhoff----to go on a mission trip and encourage a missionary on the field

Kaleene Lanham----Find a church and get plugged in before September 15

Kristi Whitcomb----Build a playground in the community where you live

Aaron Jamieson----Take a religion class and get a discussion started on Christianity

Maranda Johnston----To collect and distribute 500 coats/hoodies

Jordan Bailey----Teach a child something you do well

Breanna Miller----Skip a school dance and use the money that you would use and help a girl that you know wouldn't be able to go otherwise

Stephen Nunley----To collect 500 turkeys for Thanksgiving

Trevor Shumaker----Fast one meal a week at school and pray for teachers and students

I thought I should do a challenge too since I was asking them to do one...my challenge is to fast every Wednesday for a school year and spend time praying (this is ironic since we have Wednesday night meals at Third Race)!

This fall should be interesting and exciting to see these challenges start to take place and to see life change start to happen.
