21 Days of Prayer & Fasting: Week 3

God hasn’t called us to be busy, to maintain, or even to manage, but to join an unquenchable Cause.  God has a purpose for our lives that is bigger than mere existence.  His plan is that our lives would matter forever.  And don’t we all   want to leave a legacy and be part of something bigger than ourselves?  Jesus said, “In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.” John 7:18, The Message

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
