Introduction to the Forty Day of Faith Project




Beginning February 17th, 2013 we are inviting you to take part in our Forty Days of Faith Project.  Every day for the next 40 days we will post a new Faith Exercise.  The exercise will have a devotional thought and a challenge for you to accept.  You will find that some of the exercises will come much easier for you than others.  Conversely, some of them will be very difficult.  Ask God to help you check your motives on the "easy" ones, and ask Him to give you strength to complete the difficult ones.  You will realize that in all of these exercises you need God.  That is what faith is all about- dependance on God.

The reason we are doing this in an online format is because we are asking one more thing of you each day that will further stretch your faith.  We want you to share your experiences.  We realize that we are asking a difficult thing.  It is a tough decision to open up and share.  Perhaps you are already thinking- "No Way!  I am not posting anything about my faith!"  Well- then you have already made your decision.  But please know that the health of the body of Christ is at stake.  The body is a body because every part is needed.

A note about the exercises:  Many of the exercises will be things that you can complete in that day.  Others you will have to schedule and plan for.  Still others, you will have to pray and wait upon the Lord for.  The number of Projects will start piling up.  You may want to start a checklist in your journal.


How to Prepare:
-          You will want to start your own notebook journal for your Forty Day Adventure.
-          Subscribe to the Blog.  That way you will be notified when a new exercise is published.
-          Invite your Christian Friends to join in the Project.  Accountability is critical in the Body.
-          Pray and ask God for Endurance.  In your own discipline you may last 7 days, but with God’s strength you will see Him do Great Things for 40 Days!
