Mission and Vision

VISION

To provide a growth level event, targeted for high school students who have trusted Christ that will challenge students to be contributors in God’s Story, and will model outreach, ministry training, and dependence on God.

 

NEEDS

Students view of what it means to know God and to live on mission with the risen Christ is often times nothing more than moralistic, therapeutic, deism.  For many students, their current view of what it means to be a follower of Christ needs to be dismantled and a more authentic view and expressions of their faith in Christ erected in its place so they may authentically join Him in is mission to restore the world to Himself.

 

THEME - UNDO : restore the original

You cannot follow Jesus and remain the same.  Jesus guarantees to change both your life’s desires and trajectory.  Life that is truly life flows from the soul that has been “undone” by the all consuming love of Christ.  His burning presence leads to an undoing of all that has defined your place, purpose, and priorities in this world.  And yet, it does not merely expose the artificial but also awakens your imagination to dream of a way of life and love that cannot be confined by the systems of this world.  To be undone is both a desperate cry and a costly call. UNDO!

 

PURPOSE

Challenge ‘10 exists to help students redefine what it means to love God and love others as seen through the lens of the Beatitudes.

 

OBJECTIVES

In light of this purpose our prayer is that:

  1. All Christians will leave Challenge ‘10 crying out to God for Him to UNDO any artificial views of who they are as His children and answering His call to bear his name in this world through authentic expressions of mercy, peacemaking, purity and perseverance. 

  2. All youth groups will leave Challenge ‘10 committed to undoing an existence of gathering together for merely self-serving purposes and instead become a community of that is UNDONE before God and working together with Him to UNDO the brokenness in our world.

  3. All youth workers will leave Challenge ‘10 to lead ministries that UNDO any views Christianity by creating environments where students can encounter God and join Him in undoing the way of sin in this world.

  4. All non‑Christians will leave Challenge ‘10 understanding their need to be UNDONE by hearing a clear presentation of Gospel and given the opportunity to surrender their lives to Christ.
