Three Challenges:
Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORDS: find a way to mention Jesus to someone who needs to hear about him in an in-person conversation this week.
Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WAYS: do a random act of kindness to someone outside your family, but not in total secret. Be sure the person knows you did what you did because of your love for Jesus.
Proclaim His excellencies IN OUR WORSHIP: take time to write a letter to God expressing your love, affection and thanks for the many ways you’ve seen his goodness (in your life and in our world).
