The Do Gooder Challenge is a 30‑day mission experience that mobilizes your BSM to notice, stop for, and encourage medically burdened kids in Texas—living out the call that whenever you are able, you do good to people who need help.
In Luke 10, several people see the wounded man on the road. Only one stops.
We’re in a similar moment: students constantly see stories of loneliness, anxiety, and kids facing medical crises—but it’s easy to keep walking.
Scripture’s call is simple and direct: whenever you are able, do good to people who need help. The challenge is giving your students a concrete way to obey that call without adding a permanent program to your calendar.
The Do Gooder Challenge is a 30‑day, gospel‑shaped service and mission initiative that turns your BSM into influential group that is part of the Encouragement Squad for kids and families in medical storms.
- Encouragers – believers, churches, and partners who sponsor encouragement for 1, 10, or 100 kids.
- The Encouraged – children and families in hospital halls who receive an intentional encouragement package.
- Your BSM group– the ones who see the need, cross the road, and help make the connection.
It’s a way for your students to “go and do likewise”—to put into practice the wisdom that when they are able, they do good for people who clearly need help.
An anonymous follower of Jesus carries a burden: to use their resources so that future generations are encouraged instead of crushed by fear, loneliness, and mental‑health struggles.
Their commitment to your BSM is straightforward:
Every encouragement your Squad helps secure earns points.
Those points translate into sponsorship dollars invested back into your ministry’s mission.
Your students will see a real‑time picture of what happens when kingdom generosity and Proverbs‑shaped obedience collide: whenever they are able, they do good to people who need help—and God uses that to strengthen others and shape them.
(Details about what this looks like in the Zoom info session. Sign up below.)
Across March 30–April 30, your students will:
- Ask peers, churches, families, and partners a simple identity question: “Are you a don’t carer or a do gooder?”
- Invite those who say “do‑gooder” to sponsor encouragement for kids in medical crises.
- Pray for the kids and families being served, even as a daily leaderboard shows how many are being reached through acts of faith.
Each “yes” becomes a tangible encouragement package—a book, plaque, and declarations designed to breathe courage and hope into these families who need help right now.
For your students, the challenge becomes:
- A mission lab – practicing compassion, justice, and witness in a focused window.
- A discipleship catalyst – learning what it looks like to see need, move toward it, and pay a personal cost in time and energy whenever they are able.
- A leadership and fundraising experience – organizing a real campaign that connects impact to resources for kingdom work.
- A calling clarifier – many will discover gifts in communication, organization, and pastoral care they didn’t know they had.
They’ll also have concrete stories and language for resumes, support letters, and future ministry opportunities, grounded in a specific season where they chose to “do good to people who need help” instead of walking past.
And they get to enjoy healthy, kingdom‑minded competition:
- Grand Champion – most total encouragements acquired.
- Speed Champion – first BSM to hit the shared target.
- Platinum Champion – most platinum‑level (100‑kid) bundles.
Step 1 – Join a BSM Squad Info Session
(Zoom)
As a director or staff leader, join a
live overview of the Do Gooder Challenge and ask anything you need to discern fit.
Step 2 – Pray, process, and opt
in
Share with your student leaders, pray
together, and decide if this is a mission your BSM is called to take on this spring.
Step 3 – Lead your students through the
30‑day challenge
Commission them as an Encouragement
Squad, equip them with the playbook, and walk with them as they cross the road toward kids in need.
In Luke 10, the difference was not who saw the need, but who stopped. Proverbs reminds us that whenever we are able, we do good to people who need help.
If you sense that your students are ready for a concrete way to live both truths with some of the most vulnerable kids in our state, your next step is simple.
