INTRODUCING THE FIRST EVER CHOSEN CHALLENGE

Whether you choose to walk, run, bike, swim, or play ping pong, we’re asking you to move with The Chosen!

How it Works

The Chosen Challenge isn’t just for getting your steps in; it’s bringing the story of Jesus to even more people around the world. When you complete your $70 registration, you commit to securing pledged donations from your friends, family, church, and community that contribute to bringing all seven seasons of The Chosen to the world, so all of you get to play an active part in introducing millions to Jesus.

All pledged donations will go toward production, translation, and distribution of The Chosen into 600 languages globally. Registration fees cover operational expenses, and Come and See receives 70% of excess funds to be added to the total donation amount.

And the best part is you can participate from right where you are — no travel required. The T-shirt and medal we’re going to give you are nice perks too.

What is a 40-Day Challenge and how does it work?

What a fun way to honor God, Chosen-style! This is a great way to combine physical activity with prayer, reflection, and faith-based encouragement. A pamphlet guide is included in your packet to record your daily physical activity and reflections on prayer and Scripture.

When does the Challenge officially begin and end?

Start any time after your package arrives. The 40 days are yours to set.

This is a Walk/Run/Ride Challenge. What if I want to do another type of exercise?

For this challenge, it doesn’t matter if you are new to physical activity or a seasoned runner or walker. This program is built for you! One mile/day or 20 minutes of any type of physical exercise is perfect! Bonus points if you can ride a donkey ;)

How do I sign up?

Fill out the form on RunSignup to register.

What ways can I participate in the 40-Day Challenge?

There are 3 options for signing up!

Option 1: Register for “The Chosen Challenge” with no donation commitment. You’ll receive your packet in the mail and start your daily journey.

Option 2: Register for “The Chosen Challenge” with an accompanying donation. If you feel moved to do so, you can make a one-time donation that directly funds production, translation, and distribution of The Chosen.

Option 3 (Our Favorite!): Register and take your commitment to the next level with a fundraising pledge, inviting your community to support you in the 40-Day Challenge. No pledge is too big or small in God's eyes. We will walk you through it every step of the way. It’s a fun way to bring others into your spiritual journey, allowing them to support you and the mission of Come and See. Facebook is the main platform.

What’s included in the Challenge Packet I will be receiving?

In your packet, you will receive the Chosen Challenge Shirt, the Challenge Medal, and the 40-Day Challenge Guide that walks you through your journey. Stay Tuned!

Can I ask others to join in The Challenge?

Absolutely YES! Challenges like this provide encouragement, motivation, and discussion through your daily journey. It’s also important to lift each other up when we are challenged in our workouts. Every day brings new opportunities to walk alongside others and share what Jesus is doing in our lives.

What if I want to encourage a group to join the Challenge (church, Bible study, friends, neighbors, business, etc.)?

Group participation builds morale, is highly engaging, and provides accountability, all while sharing your faith with each other. Go and Tell!

To register as a group, there must be a minimum of 8 participants with a designated group leader who will receive packets on behalf of each group member.

Is there a discount if a group signs up for The Challenge?

Yes, there is! During the registration process you will be able to create your group and receive your discount of $5 off for each registration. One person will be designated as the “Challenge Coordinator.”

How does the Group Challenge work?

Once your group registration is complete, the designated Group Coordinator will receive ALL Challenge Packets in one (1) box and is responsible for facilitating distribution of the packets.

How do I know my shirt size?

The shirts are a wicking fiber blend. Sizing is Unisex.

I want to choose the “Pledge” option and support Come and See and The Chosen, but I’ve never asked people for money before. How does it work?

Once you commit to a Pledge, Come and See will send you a confirmation email. It will guide you every step of the way, providing fundraising ideas, talking points for conversations, and helpful tips throughout the 40-Day Challenge. You will also receive Challenge images that can be shared on your social media platforms or be sent to friends via text message.

What are easy ways to share with others I am participating in The Challenge?

Wear your T-shirt while you exercise or out in your community. When people ask, it’s an easy way to share your story and The Chosen!

What if I miss a day during The Challenge?

Rest days matter too! Rest is an act of faith. Honoring rest reflects trust in God’s provision and reminds us that our worth is not based on productivity but trust in Him. Just pick up where you left off when you're ready to get back out there!

What if I want to participate with people who live outside the U.S. or are in the military?

We can ship the packets anywhere in the world, including the military postal system.

Are my donations / Pledges Tax Deductible?

YES! Come and See Foundation is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All gifts are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by your country of residence. Tax ID: 88-3013171. No goods or services were received by the donor in exchange for this contribution.
