Tentative Schedule

This is a tentative schedule. The months don't have to be in this order and we don't have to even do what is said under the social justice issues. This is just a launching pad. I want your guys ideas.

January:
Preparation: Taking time to prepare ourselves for the upcoming year. Praying for God to show us what Social Justice issues we should pray for and how we can incarnationally pray for them.

February:
World Hunger: Only eating white rice for the whole month

March:
Homeless: Only where one pair clothes for the whole month. No washing the clothes.

April:
Aids: A shirt that says HIV positive for the whole month.

May:
Water:

June:
War

July:
Orphans

August:
Sex Trafficking

September:
Fair Trade: We can only consume or use fair trade items through the month. When we are inconvenienced we should remember those who are pretty much slaves at our expense.

October and November are undecided.

December:
Evaluation: Taking the month to evaluate all that God has taught us and how we are going to take that into our lives.

Prep and Eval

The new goal is to take January and December to prepare and evaluate. The hope is that we can ask God to strengthen us in January for what we are going to be going through the rest of the year and the goal for December will be to evaluate all that God has taught us about prayer.

Thoughts on Incarnational Prayer

January - Starvation - Only eating Rice to remember the starvation that is taking place around the world and to remember that many people survive only on rice.
Mission Organizations: World Vision

February - Water - Only drinking Water to remember the blessing we have to drink fresh water and remember what a luxury that coffee, soda, and other drinks are.
Mission Organizations: Blood Water Mission

Other issues we might want to be in prayer for as we think of creative ways to incarnational prayer:
Sex Trafficking
Fair Trade Clothing
Fair Trade Coffee
Homelessness
Aids
Orphans
War
Child Slavery

On the fence:
Inner City Schools
Health Care
