4th Annual
MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE
November 1-30, 2026
The MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE was founded in 2023 by James and Trisha Fenimore as a radical 30-day act of obedience to Jesus’ words: “Love your enemies and pray for them who persecute you and seek to do you harm.”
This November, join Christians around the world and choose one person—or group of people—whom you find hardest to love, and commit to pray for them. Daily.
The signature bright red, waterproof bracelet is meant to be worn 24/7 all month long, serving as a constant visual reminder to “pray for them.” The accompanying 30-Day Devotional and Deluxe Hardcover Journal by Trisha Fenimore were created out of popular demand, as countless M544 participants asked for a daily pep talk and safe place to reflect during this life-changing journey.
What began as a simple call to follow Jesus in one of His most difficult commands has now reached believers all across America and even around in the world, in places like Australia, South Africa, England, Canada, and Brazil.
Join Tens of Thousands of Christians all over the world!
Free to Participate— OPEN TO ALL!
Take the MATTHEW 5:44 Pledge for this November
LIMITED QUANTITIES. THESE SELL OUT EVERY YEAR.
Over the years, people kept saying the same thing: the MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE was important, but hard… and they wished Trisha was there every morning with a pep talk. So she wrote one.
The Complete M544 Kit is that companion—built by public demand for anyone who wants to obey Jesus’ words, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” without walking it alone. Inside you get the 30-day M544 Devotional (your daily pep talk), a deluxe hardcover lined journal, and the signature PRAY FOR THEM bracelet. Each day of the Devotional includes suggested Scripture and suggested praise and worship songs to keep your heart in the fight. Both books are personally signed by author Trisha Fenimore. Choose one person—or a group of people—you’d rather avoid, and spend 30 days praying for them. You don’t have to feel ready. You only have to start.

This crewneck sweatshirt carries quiet conviction. A clean, minimalist front reads “pray for them” with a small red target-like emblem beneath — subtle but unmistakable. The back lists “MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE 2026,” turning the garment into a wearable statement of forgiveness, ministry and outreach. Medium-heavy fabric feels substantial without weighing you down; ribbed collar, cuffs and hem hold their shape. The black backdrop keeps the message focused and versatile, so it layers easily over tees or under coats during cooler mornings and evening meetups. Wear it to faith-based volunteer events, small-group nights, or everyday walks when you want your values to speak calmly but clearly.

This soft, pigment-dyed denim hat carries a quietly profound message amidst our loud world: embroidered front text and a small stitched emblem of our signature M544 symbol at the back.

Lightweight and breathable, it moves easily from morning coffee runs to evening walks while offering an unobtrusive way to wear a thoughtful sentiment. The adjustable strap gives a custom fit, while the strong cotton weave holds the embroidery clean and crisp through everyday wear. It’s for those who prefer restrained statements and lived-in style.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Definitely not. November 1st is the official start date for the MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE each year, where Christians all over the world embark upon this life-changing journey together. Many— especially those embarking on their very first MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE— find comfort, strength and support, knowing they are taking part in it alongside so many others.
That being said, if you receive your Kit and bracelets before November 1st and feel ready in your spirit to start: START!
-
This is a very frequently asked question and usually depends on the individual, who they’ve chosen to pray for, and how the Spirit works.
If you pray for a person who has hurt you profoundly in your life (an unfaithful ex, an abusive parent, etc.), it likely will not be easy. (Though some have said it’s been surprisingly so!)
That being said, we have found over the years that the Lord rewards those who boldly pursue His command. The level of freedom found on the other side of the CHALLENGE usually depends on the depth of obedience at the start.

No, you do not need to buy anything anything to participate. While the MATTHEW 5:44 CHALLENGE is the largest fundraiser One Mission Field holds each year, participation is far more important than financial contribution.
While we greatly appreciate each purchase that supports this important ministry, our supporters who cannot afford it (or who live overseas where shipping is unavailable) have participated over the years by making their own bright red bracelets and taking part in the CHALLENGE for free!
