I’ll Fight Day 2011 is almost here! Can you believe it? Only two months until we have the privilege to tell others about the amazing love of God through acts of service to those in our community. This is such a great opportunity to band together, get organized, and make a difference in people’s lives.
What exactly is I’ll Fight Day? I’ll Fight Day is a Salvation Army youth servant evangelism day that takes place all across the world on the first Saturday in December (Saturday, December 3, 2011). I’ll Fight Day is a way for you to share the Gospel through practical acts of kindness: like giving out free hot chocolate, returning shopping carts or cleaning up at a mall food court. These acts are done “in Jesus name” for the purpose of sharing God’s love in a way that leads others to ask “Why are you doing this?”
This event is a local, youth-led initiative where you and your friends can decide how you want to serve others in your community. There are many helpful resources available to help you participate in this event. Instructions, resources and promotional videos can be downloaded on the event website: http://illfightday.com/.
You should also check out their Facebook page and “like” them to stay in the loop. This is going to be a great year, and we can’t wait to hear about the stories of how God used ordinary people to do extraordinary things! Start planning now, though. Two months goes by extremely quickly! And, of course, by planning we also mean praying. Ask God what He wants your youth group to do to reach out to the people in your community. Trust God and act. He is faithful!
