Day 1
Pastor Hosea Bilyeu has issued a challenge for the church: Read the Bible for 24 minutes, seven days a week. He refers to it as the "7/24 Challenge," and it's what I think is essential. We have written 40 Days of Devotionals to help and encourage you through your walk with Christ. Use them as part of your 7/24 Challenge. Post comments to let us know what God is teaching you and how He's using you through this time. Spread the word, and invite your friends and family to take part in the challenge.
please note: all 40 devotionals can also be found in the CAMP 2010 booklet.

Thank God for creating everything and giving us life. Ask Him to help you spend the next 40 days getting to know Him better. Say a prayer in your own words expressing to God your desire to know Him and make Him known.
Understanding the Old Testament: From the beginning of time, everything God has created gives testimony to who God is and what He is capable of!
