TAKE THE MATTHEW 25 CHALLENGE!
If you missed this morning’s services, it’s not too late for you to opt into this 7-Day challenge. It begins tomorrow, Monday, October 22.
This special challenge has the power to radically change our perspective on some of the greatest needs facing the world today.
It will walk us through Matthew 25:35-40 as a community. Every day this week, you’ll receive a few text messages that will give you and your family a small challenge. Calling you out of your comfort zone, you’ll learn about a child living in extreme poverty, and get reflection questions to grow your heart for the poor.
How to opt in: Open up your text messages on your cell phone and start a new message. Type 44888 in the space where you would put someone’s phone number. (Do it just like you are texting someone whose number isn’t in your contacts.) Then, in the body of the text, where the message goes, just type M25, then click send.
You’ll be asked just 2 things to opt in:
The date of the challenge – since we’re starting tomorrow, choose OPTION A by typing an A in the text box and hit send.
You’ll get a text asking for your zip code so you get texts at the right time throughout the day! Type that in and hit send.
You’re all set now. We’d like for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US at Gold Coast to opt in.
This week, if you miss one of the daily challenges, don’t opt out. Just stick with it and do your best. This challenge has the potential to transform your faith, but only if you take it seriously and stick with it.
I believe this is going to be a life-changing experience!
Parents – this is a great discipleship experience for your entire family.
You can even invite your friends to take the challenge with you. Do it with your Life group.
(If you don’t do texts, sign up for daily emails at worldvision.org/M25.)
Next Sunday, October 28, you will want to be at one of the morning services at Gold Coast for a special Matthew 25 Celebration service.
Peace,
Scott
