50 Day CREW Challenge: Get in the Word
From now until March 1 there is a CREW 50 Day Bible challenge that I am issuing to all CREW members to get them in the Word and take time to connect with Christ and God. Your challenge is to read one chapter in the Bible every day for 50 days, ending on March 1, 2012. The challenge begins immediately and you must be truthfully in telling whether or not you have completed the challenge. Also, you can partner up with other teenagers to help keep you accountable and to encourage you for the next 50 days. Know that your CREW leaders, those that want, will also be helping, encouraging and praying for you to complete this challenge and answer any questions you may have about what you are reading. Persevere through the next 50 days and I guarantee you it will be worth it. If you complete this challenge, one chapter each night until March 1, than you and all those who complete it will get a meal at a restaurant like Montgomery Inn. This is a reward for your hard work but will pail in comparison to the connection with God you will have.
A couple suggestions: don’t read the following books; Revelation, Hebrews, Leviticus, Numbers, the Prophets until you have spent some time in the Word and feel comfortable tackling some tougher books. I would recommend starting in one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) or even Genesis to get your feet wet before moving on. Mark is the shortest Gospel and you may want to start there so you quickly can say you finished a book. Momentum will be the key in completing this but don’t get discouraged if things are hard at first but in the end it will be much easier.
Use whatever technology, tools, or Bibles you have available to help you complete this challenge and don’t worry about taking notes or anything like that. The goal is to have you connect with God through His Word and learn the discipline of Bible reading. If you have any questions please text, call, Facebook, or ask me.
Praying for you all on this journey and hope you will take me up on this challenge.
Be God’s,
Jeremy
