We are asking everyone to participate by considering the following responses:
PRAY
Thoughtfully ask God to show you his will for your involvement in this project. This is first and foremost a spiritual matter. God can and will use this effort to help bring us into conformity with his Son. Trust God to meet your needs and to provide you with resources to participate.
UNDERSTAND
Carefully read the enclosed material and watch the DVD. A great deal of prayer, planning and thought has gone into this project. We want you to have a good understanding of what we believe God has for us.
INVEST
A large majority of those who come to faith in the Savior do so before the age of 20. By faith we give that which is temporal to impact that which is eternal. To paraphrase Jim Elliot, one of the martyred missionaries featured in the movie End of the Spear: We give what we cannot keep to gain what we cannot lose.
SACRIFICE
We all have different resources available to us, but each one of us can participate in a meaningful, significant way. Our goal is this: Not equal gifts but equal sacrifice. Again, as you pray consider what this might look like in your own life.
Tell them to use their money to do good. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.
Paul writing in 1 Timothy 6:18, 19 NLT
