The Challenge

This past Sunday, our Pastor, Chris Rollins, issued a challenge to our church.

He issued this challenge: For the month of December, all of us should take the 1-1-1 challenge.
What in the world is the 1-1-1 challenge? It's simple. At 1 o'clock pray for 1 person for 1 minute. And the prayer isn't just any prayer for anyone. The prayer is for 1 person that you know has no relationship with Jesus. 1 person that you need to invite to attend church. 1 person that needs a life change.

So far this week I have been hearing awesome stories from people in our church who have accepted the challenge. My friend, Andy Gill, and I have even been holding each other accountable by texting each other a bit after 1pm to see if the other had prayed yet.

I love this challenge and I have issued it to our students but with a different name. Same challenge different name. We're calling it InFILTration. Why? Simple. We want to infiltrate this world, and see the life changing power of God move in a way like never before! So we will be infiltrating hearts by praying for 1 person for 1 minute at 1 o'clock.

Will you accept our InFILTration challenge? Who will you pray for? Post names of your friends/family/co-workers/etc. on this blog and I will commit to pray with you!

The challenge has been issued, will you accept?

Joe - and his family. They are obviously seeking God, especially there highschool age son. I know God will give me the opportunity to get them in a seat this Christmas. Good idea to share names.
