FAST & PRAYER 2024

 

We believe prayer and fasting changes things! When we take the initiative to fast, we practice biblical values that Jesus first modelled for us. The act of fasting is sacrificing one of our most essential daily routines. Instead of satisfying our own flesh, we are standing in the gap, praying for our mission partners.

We have asked our partners to send us prayer points for them, their ministry and for their nation so that we can stand withthem during this time. Each day, take time to read through the needs and burdens of those that we support, lifting them up inprayer, believing for God’s supernatural hand upon them and their ministry.

Suggestions for Fasting

Fasting is a powerful practice. When we take the initiative to fast and pray, we practice biblical values that Jesus first modeled for us. Fasting is an act of self-denial for the sake of spiritual focus. Instead of satisfying our own flesh and desires, we are focusing on the needs of our mission’s partners.

  • Join us: Fasting a meal or two a day

  • Turn down technology/media and turn up prayer and time in the Word.

  • Use our guide to pray each day for our 21 mission partners throughout the nations.

  • Pray in community, in person and/or online.

We advise you to personally seek the Lord and ask Him what you should do during this fast and we encourage all who are able, totruly give God their best. W e also advise you to seek a physician’s advice before you approach any type of fasting. Certain individuals may need to limit how they fast because of their physical condition, illness, age or energy needs.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6.33
