When I click the link....I get my lovely 404 page.

Thoughts? Why isnt the redirect page working?

The Link Path structure MUST match your permalink structure.

From the URLs you posted I see that your page links are in the format

"http://gotworship.net/?page_id=1585"

With this setup your Contest Link Path needs to have the same format so instead of /contest/ you should use
/?p=8888/
8888 is just some number you make up it should NOT be a real page, just use a number higher than any existing page.
