Each week, take a lifestyle challenge which will help you grow in Christian discipleship.  You select a  ‘personal’ or a ‘general’ challenge.

A PERSONAL CHALLENGE is private and is about your relationship with God, e.g. intercessory prayer or fasting.

A GENERAL CHALLENGE is social, and focuses on your responsibilities to those around you; your family, friends, church, the world. 

You can do whatever is right for you.  The lists of suggestions opposite are a guide.  Adapt them as you wish.

Use this list as a starting point.  The best ideas are those that arise from your personal circumstances.

It is best to do some guided reflection throughout the week to help you get the most from this discipleship programme.  See link below:
