What are the 40 Days of Purpose? Pastor Rick Warren, in his book, "The Purpose Driven Life" presents God's plan for the purpose in your life. Are you one that has always wondered "what on earth am I here for?" This book will have the answer for you. And to present this effectively, a campaign in my church, as well as several thousand across the country, will host small groups to study the Purpose Driven Life in 40 days. Over 8000 churches have participated in this campaign since 2002. Rick Warren's book has been at the top of the New York Times Bestseller list.

Most importantly for my church, we have been working on twelve 'aims' to make the church more accessable to future generations, make it a praying church, an evangelical church and more. By being a Purpose Driven church, which is not a denominational label or other "name" for our church, we can fulfill God's desires for our worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism to grow through our members and friends; and their committment to these purposes.

Other blogs, for instance this one here has chronicled their journey through the 40 days, and I will do the same, beginning today. I hope this is helpful for at least only one of my readers, that knowing what your purpose in life is will be a sure blessing to you.
