The Iowa Conference hosted the first planning session of The Daniel Project, designed to organize a group of spiritually motivated young people to reach their generation with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.The key verses are:
” … but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits [take action]. And those of the people who understand shall instruct many … And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them wait, until the time of the end …” Dan 11:32b–33, Dan 11:35
In the above passage, we see five great undertakings of faithful believers in the end times. To be accurate, this passage is speaking specifically of Jewish believers during the Tribulation Period. However, we have every reason to adapt it to these closing moments of the Church Age.

The Amazing Race 2
The race is won based on our relationship with God by faith (Heb 12:1-3, Jam 1:2). Faith works in us (1Th 2:13). Endurance is paramount in Christian life (Jam 5:7-11, Act 14:22). James directs our attention to Job's endurance. Outline of James can be found in Jam 1:19. Believers admonitions similar to Heb 1(Jam 1:21-22).
Scripture References: James 1:21-22, James 1:19, Acts 14:22, James 5:7-11, James 1:2, Hebrews 12:1-3
From Series: "The Amazing Race"
Heb 12:1-3 says we're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ.
