Frequently Asked Questions
I hear the word "campaign" and think fundraising.
Will I be asked to contribute extra money to a cause?
The 40 Days of Purpose Campaign is a spiritual growth campaign which is designed
to focus us aligning ourselves with God's purposes. We will not be asking
for extra donations for the Campaign.
Is this Campaign something I can bring my seeker-friends to, or is
it strictly targeted at believers?
This Campaign will have a powerful impact on both seekers and believers alike.
The fundamental question of the Campaign, "What on earth am I here for?'
is an ideal starting place for seekers. Everyone wants to know what their
purpose in life is! There will be a distinct and strategic evangelistic emphasis
throughout the Campaign. However, an equally powerful focus is on the growth
of every believer, which will be evident with every God-ordained purpose presented.
Believers who go through this Campaign will discover a clarity of purpose
in their personal walk with God. They will be compelled to go the next level
in each of the five purposes on their spiritual journey with Jesus.
What happens during the Campaign that will compel me to go to the
next level in each of the five purposes?
1. Worship: If you think worship is all about singing, think
again! Discover the full-orbed idea behind worship, and begin to practice
real worship during the Campaign.
2. Fellowship: If you haven't joined a small group or participated
in a Sunday School class yet, you will have a chance to connect with one for
six weeks to study the five purposes in community with others.
3. Discipleship: If you need encouragement to grow by developing
the personal disciplines of daily Bible reading and scripture memory, you
will find inspiration during the Campaign as you read along in the Purpose
DriveL? Life book, and memorize a weekly scripture verse about each purpose.
4. Ministry: If you haven't discovered where you can use
your gifts and skills to serve others, you'll have a chance to explore opportunities
and get plugged in to serve with a ministry that needs you. You will also
be challenged to think beyond where you may be comfortable, and to have a
servant's heart
5. Evangelism: If you feel fearful or ill-equipped to communicate
your faith to others, you will learn how to share your own story, and develop
an effective life mission statement.
Do you still need help on the Campaign Team?
Of course! The most important area we need help with is prayer! Without the
prayer of our people, the Campaign will be just a set of activities. Pray
together with us for the impact of the Campaign on the lives of our people
and our church. Beyond prayer, here are the areas where we could still use
some help:
