Each one of us was created for a purpose. God desires a relationship with us that will allow Him to fulfill that purpose. We develop a kingdom building relationship with God by developing our faith, trust, and obedience. The Next Mile is designed to lead you further down the road in your walk with Christ. The Next Mile is where you find your purpose, your calling, and your role in the Kingdom. You will be challenged to grow in Christ and to stretch your faith. You will be asked to make decisions that will allow God to change your life for eternity.
