Several months ago, the congregation of Mountain Christian Church was challenged to do something unusual. Fifty people were given $100 in cash and asked to do something Good with it, to do God's work with it. The participants had to report back in ninety days on their efforts.

One lady used it to start a group to provide bicycles for children that could not afford them, and turned that $100 into more than 50 bikes for the kids! Another woman started a local Christian newspaper. Still another person contributed their $100 towards building a house for a local family through Habitat for Hummanity and raised more than $40,000 to help build that house!

The bottom line was that each participant had to recognize that the money belonged to God, and that they had to use it to do God's work. Each of them was on a "Kingdom Assignment", on a mission for God.

While I was not fortunate enough to participate as one of the fifty, Pastor Ben challenged everyone to live as though on a Kingdom Assignment, a direct mission from God. Everyone has something special they can do with the knowledge and resources God has given them, its just a matter of figuring out what that is. It took a Biker on the Mall in Washington, D.C. to help me figure out what God was asking me to do.

My father-in-law, Wayne, is a Vietnam Veteran and goes to D.C. every year for Memorial Day. There was a Bikers for Jesus group down there giving out tiny little Bibles, perfect for your pocket. Wayne brought one home for my 4 year old son because it had a motorcycle printed on the front. Since my son had very little interest in a text only book, I borrowed the Bible and took it to work. As I was reading the scripture, and for no particular reason, I flipped open to the copyright page. Nobody ever reads this stuff, but I started to read it line by line. I learned that anyone could buy these Bibles for ministry purposes and I realized this was a way I could start sharing God's message of Love to the world.

I know that I am not knowledgeable enough to "preach" the Word in the typical sense, but I do know the New Testament is the most powerful book I have ever read and that it can change lives. I also know that one of the sermon series, Christianity: Fact or Fiction, made a huge impact on my understanding of Jesus. So it has become my Kingdom Assignment, my purpose, my work for God, that I share these items with anyone who is walking the same path of seeking I once did.

If you have come to this website and have read this far, you probably have many of the same questions I used to have. This little book and the sermons of Mountain Christian Church may have the answers.
