Excited to start this journey! It's going to be LIFE CHANGING! - Brian Dollar
I've been looking forward to this for a long time, very excited to finally get to do it together!
1-I desire to take my relationship with Christ to a new and deeper level and I really believe this will be a big part of that.
2-I hope to be broken for UPG's like never before and I hope to learn to live daily dead to self and alive only for Christ.

First, I desire to focus more intently on my relationship with Jesus and to hear from him in the quietness before him.
Second, I pray He opens my heart more to seeing people as He does, Souls that matter to God - no matter who they are - where they are - how they look - or how much they own in life...

I can't wait to see what God does in my heart towards brokenness and sacrifice
I am so excited to start this, God has been moving so much this whole week! I desire to grow tremendously in my relationship with Christ. I also look forward to becoming a lot less selfish in my relationship with Christ for others He places before me in prayer, in giving and in doing; to learn true sacrifice.
I am doing this because I want to become more like my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
My Hope for the next 30 days is that the Lord will use the experience to transform my life into what it needs to be to live totally for Him. That there will be a restoration in my life that when done can only be said that it is from the Lord.
I'm extremely excited about this journey, I feel like this journey will draw me nearer to Him(Jesus) & to be able to hear Him like never before. I am excited because I feel like this came at a perfect time for me, because I had started going back thru the Gospels to see WHO Jesus is & WHAT He stands for so that I can imitate Him in my daily walk. So, this is right in time for me & just adds to what I've been learning already. I look forward to going thru this & growing with everybody. Keep getting better friends.

I am so excited to have the opportunity to pray for missions in such a personal way. It has already opened my heart with a love for these people. I decided to make prayer cards to carry in my pocket to help me remember what to pray throughout the day. I expect a closer relationship with Jesus and pray that His will for my life will become my will. Just the thought of 650 people praying for the same thing every day gives me goose bumps.
I hope that this will give me focus to spend more time with God and give the fristfruits of my time to God and no just "squeeze him in". My hope is that he embolden me risk more for my faith and become a more missions minded person.
I am excited about going through the journal again. By allowing God to challenge me, many things in my heart were revealed that needed to be worked on, many that I didn't realize were there. Our journey is all about growth. Even if you don't feel like you are called to go the mission field full time you we should be in a constant state of process, allowing God to reveal, challenge and perfect. It was one of the most eye opening challenges I have experienced.
I am so excited about doing this - and doing it together! My completely changed morning routine was wonderful. Love reading your comments.

I guess excited was not exactly the word that came to my mind when thinking about this journey. Scary. Intimidating. Was I ready to tithe 10% of my time? What will I have to give up? Am I strong enough in my faith? I often feel inadequate when I hear others at our church talk about their faith. Wondering if I will ever be more than a "Timothy"...ever give over my worry and have faith that God will take care of me. Then I opened up the journal today and started reading. And thought...how can I not do this? I didn't know where in the Old Testament I would start and decided on Joshua, as the author suggested..."no one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you..." And, I know it doesn't follow the suggestion exactly, but I followed the Psalms reading by reading Revelation 1-3. I didn't know why I decided to start there instead of Matthew...until I had moved on to worship and realized-most of us going on this journey have had Christ spoken to us all of our lives. We have had years to accept Him as our Savior and so many take knowing Him for granted. The assurance that He will be with us always. We will never walk alone. The comfort of knowing there is more to life than what we experience on earth. So to know that there are all of these unreached people groups out there with out that comfort, knowledge, reassurance...who don't know that when the end times come there is heaven to look forward to, who don't know they aren't alone in their struggles...to know this and not do the least I can do ---PRAY that the word of God would be delivered to them---is simply not an option. I am so thankful for our church leaders for challenging us and leading us and giving us the opportunity to be a part of what God has called all of us to do.
I am very excited about doing this challenge with my church family. I am doing this challenge so I can be more sensitive to God's calling on my life. I am praying through this Challenge that God's will transforms me from the inside out.
Awesome words Angela! Sounds an awful lot like a "Paul" to me!
I am expectantly entering this journey knowing that God will change me, change my heart for people needing a relationship with Him. I think it is cool that we begin this journey on the day remembered by Christians as when Jesus willingly gave His life away for us. Live dead...that was Jesus' way of life...therefore, it should also be mine!
Powerful Angela! Thanks for sharing
As I take my daily walk I pray, first it was out of need. Now I pray when I walk as part of my routine, I find that I cannot walk without praying. I pray and I talk to God, I call out peoples names, I call out street, neighborhoods, town, cities, countries .Sometimes I just have a conversation with God.
I remember when I was 11 years old and the Pastor said to all the children.The Lord is your best friend, talk to him like he is your friend, you don't have to pray like the deacons, you don't have to sound like the mothers, just talk to God, he's listening.When I am alone with God I become his little child and I pour my heart out to him, for others as well as for myself. When I think on what Christ did for us, for me, it takes my breath away.
I wanted to do this challenge not only for myself but for my family. I want God to change my heart, become more in tune with His heart, and for Him to break my heart for the lost people groups of the world. I want this to help change my daily routine and be more willing to sacrifice time that I waste in my life to spend more time with God and for my relationship with Him to flourish. I want to be changed from the inside out. I want my kids to see the change and for them to change with me and help me pray(in their own way, being 6 and 7) for these people. I also want my mom, stepdad, sister, and husband to see a change in me. I knew they all grew up in church but none really follow God or even want to go to church most of the time. I want to see their relationships with Christ restored(or even started) so my family can all grow together and my children will see more than the adults in church and myself as role models for them to grow up to be strong followers of Christ.
Why am I doing this? Because Pastor Rod said to!!
Really, Because I want to learn as much as I can and challange myself to read and study more!!
Love you!! Donna L. Davis (media team)
