Dear C3 family,

Our world today is changing.  We are seeing an increase in the "birth pains" preceding the coming of the Lord.  The financial status of the world is falling apart, people are losing their homes and children are being abused for the financial benefit of wicked men. These issues should cause every one of us to have an increased urgency to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ.  English Philosopher, Edmund Burke said,

"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing."

I am convinced that we are all living during this era for "such a time as this."  The question is, What will we do about it?  Over the next 12 months I am asking you to participate in the CRAZY LOVE CHALLENGE.  You will be challenged to live out your faith in 5 CRAZY areas:

• Crazy Devotion
• Crazy Servanthood
• Crazy Mission
• Crazy Community
• Crazy Generosity

If you participate in this challenge I am confident that you will grow in a phenomenal way spiritually.  The church of Jesus Christ is the hope of the world.  Let's fall CRAZY in love with the Lord during this challenge and watch God use us to change the world.  Take the challenge and let God change you forever!
