Connect Your Daily Life to God's Mission
What is Kingdom Work?
It's all about connecting your daily life to God's mission: Becoming, making, and maturing resilient disciples of Jesus.
Kingdom Work is the work of disciples that advances the Kingdom of God, both internally and externally. It's what followers of Jesus do. Put bluntly, If you don't do kingdom work, you're not a disciple. The following challenges are things that you already know are good to do, and you probably already want to do them (or at least wish you wanted to do them)... we're just making a game out of it!
