October Challenge!
Each day, dedicate your Hour of Power to this spiritual battle!
1. Praying
Select some prayers from this website that you will commit to doing during your Hour of Power.
2. Fasting
Commit to a specific fasting or sacrifice throughout the day, or specifically during your Hour of Power.
​
Some ideas are to avoid eating and drinking, or to avoid seasoning or sweetening your food, or to avoid technology. Â
​
You could also commit to an exercise routine and offer your discomfort up as a sacrifice.
3. Acting
Take action!
​
Each day reach out to 3 people about Prop 1.
​
1. Someone who you know would oppose Prop 1, but may be unaware of this issue.
​
2. Someone who is a leader within a church, business, book club, or circle of friends, and might forward on information about Prop 1 to a larger audience.
​
3. Someone you are not sure about their position on Prop 1, such as a neighbor who might have seen your yard sign, or a coworker, or a relative.
4. Download
Download the October Challenge and hang it on your fridge or calendar so you see it every day. Good luck!
