Faith imagines the future materialised in the
present. It is a kind of energy, unlimited and
powerful, that everyone can access for free
but not everyone is aware of. And even among
those who know they have this power within
them, many do not know how to use it in a
practical way.

SO, HOW MAKE THE MOST
OF THIS ENERGY?
In order to produce effective results, faith must
be followed by actions. It is not enough to have
faith and simply wait for everything to fall into
place. To have an intelligent kind of faith is to
believe that you will conquer what you want and
break down any barrier that may arise, but be
aware that you need to take the necessary steps.
It’s like a partnership between you and God.
First, you do what is within your reach, then He
does what is beyond your reach.
This is the concept behind the Challenge of Faith.
You will challenge yourself to do something
different by using your faith believing that, in
the same way, God will do something different
and extraordinary in your life. This is exactly
what the people you are reading about in this
magazine did. If it worked for them, why couldn’t
‘I came to the realisation that I had
lived my whole life in church and
didn’t know God. So, I decided I
wanted to change my life because I
felt stuck. Through the messages I
was hearing about self-acceptance,
my eyes were opened.’
Shortly after Winfred made the
decision to accept her Challenge
of Faith and take the necessary
steps to develop her spiritual life,
she received the inner peace she
had always craved. ‘The joy was
unexplainable,’ she said. ‘Now I am
no longer insecure or worried about
what others think of me.’

MY
CHALLENGE OF
FAITH
ROSANGELA GOZI
‘There was nothing
I wanted more
than inner peace. I
couldn’t sleep well at
night; I struggled to
control my anger and
stress. Through the
Challenge of Faith, I
found the strength to
overcome my inner
struggles. Today I’ve
found inner peace
and I am happy!’
JONPAUL MAXWELL
‘I didn’t believe
in myself, nor
did I have any
direction for my
life. The Challenge
of Faith helped me
to rediscover my
value. Today, I don’t
allow difficulties to
limit me.’
ZULMIRA VILELA
‘After my divorce,
I lost faith in love.
The Challenge
of Faith not only
pushed me to
overcome the hurt
that came with
the end of the
relationship, but
also helped me to
understand what
true love is. So much
so, that today I am
happily married.’
