What are the 21 days of Prayer and Fasting?
To start the year, we take twenty-one days to draw closer to God together in prayer. This is a time for renewing our commitment to the Lord, deepening our connection to Jesus, purifying our hearts, and asking God for revival in our hearts and our communities. Fasting is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines of all the Christian disciplines. Through fasting and prayer, the Holy Spirit can transform your life.
According to Scripture, we see that when God's people fast with a proper Biblical motive-seeking God's face, not His hand-with a broken, repentant, and contrite spirit, God will hear from heaven and heal our lives, our churches, our communities, our nation, and the world (Chronicles 7:14). Fasting and prayer can bring about revival -a change in the direction of our nation, the nations of the earth, and the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
There is no pressure to this invitation to fast, and we know that there are many who have medical conditions that make fasting a risk to their health. We ask you to pray about what God may lead you to do to start the new year off. He may lead you to take a pause on entertainment, social media, or certain types of food during these 21 days. You may feel like joining us for some or part of these 21 days. The goal is to be more intentional in spending time with God by eliminating distractions.

Join us for our "open House" of Prayer
The church will be holding an "open house" of prayer on Friday, January 7th from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm. You are invited to join us to pray and seek God together. This is a "free space" to come and pray with others. There's no set program, so, you can come late or leave early. You are not required to be fasting to attend. The family is welcome to come because we support the idea of kids coming and praying as well. We believe praying is a family affair!
