Find someone that you can read the Bible with on a weekly basis. Read a Psalm together, start at Mark’s Gospel or Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Maybe you can use the ABCD questions Luther asked of the text:

A: What is this text About?

B: What’s the Best thing about this text?

C: What is the most Challenging or Confusing part of this text?

D: What is God calling you to Do?

We’d love to hear your stories about how God is blessing you through this simple endeavour!

2021 is a year where we want to relaunch the Life Challenge. Who is someone you want to reach for Jesus? A family member, a neighbour, a work colleague, a relation? Pick up the Life Challenge card from either centre and write the name of the person you want to reach. Put the card somewhere prominent in your home, on the bathroom mirror, in your car so that each time you see it, you pray for that person.

Listen Prayerfully – who is God calling you to pray for

Invest Personally – invest yourself by making time for that person, inviting them over for a meal, having a coffee with them regularly

Form Relationships – get to know their family, their dreams, their fears. Get below the small chat.

Extend Invitation – in God’s timing, invite them to join your LifeGroup or another social gathering with members from Church to widen their relationships. Maybe even invite them to join you for worship, in your home or Church building.

That’s our L.I.F.E Challenge for you in 2021.
