We encourage you to fast, pray, and seek the Lord for 21 days beginning on January 2nd.  

There are numerous variations of fasting in Scripture.  We recommend that you look into the Daniel Fast (detailed information is given below).  Regardless of the Biblical fast you choose, understand that all fasting should ultimately bring you closer to God.  Fasting strengthens our dependance on God and develops intimacy with Him.  Fasting does provide a health benefit as it gives your body a rest from certain foods.  But we should never enter a spiritual fast because we want to lose weight.  Our desire to fast rests solely on our desire to intimately be with God and hear from Him.

During our 21 days of prayer and fasting, the church will be open every day at designated times.  We encourage you to stop by as often as you can to pray.  Come when you can and leave when you have to.  Bring your Bible so you can pray and read as the Lord leads you.  There will be worship music playing and we encourage you to worship the Lord while you are here.  And you are welcome to pray with others if you feel led to do so.  

The prayer gathering schedule and pastor's prayer list are located below.

Pastor's Prayer List:

- Revive!  We are asking the Lord to revive all areas of our life and our church.

- For our hearts and minds to be fully surrendered to Jesus.

- For the vision of our church, "Loving God, Loving People, and Loving the Mission", to accomplish all that the Lord has set it forth to do.  

- For our 2025 vision "Revive."  That it would impact our individual hearts and communities, and the world.  

- For our children and teens.  That the Lord would revive them.  That they would be bold and courageous in their faith in Jesus.  That they would impact their schools with the Gospel like never before.  That the kids and youth ministry would grow with new souls.

- For our pastors.  That God would grant them revelation wisdom and knowledge.  That they would continue to lead with the heart of God and the mind of Christ.  That they would be covered with the blood of Jesus against the attacks of the enemy.  That they would walk in the favor and blessing of God.

- For our future as a church.  We are a growing church.  God has blessed us.  As we win the hurting and win the lost, pray that God would continue to resource us by providing for the ministry.  Pray that God sends more laborers as the ministry grows.  

- Pray for the needy and the poor among us.  Pray for those who are broken and hurting.  Pray for those who need provisions.  

- Pray for those who do not have Jesus as their Savior.  Ask the Holy Spirit to knock on the door of their heart.  Believe for their salvation.  

- Pray for families.  Ask God to strengthen families.  Pray for families that are broken, that they would be mended and made whole.  Pray for Fathers to walk in their God given role in the family.  Pray for Mothers to walk in their God given role in the family.  Pray for children to resist rebellion.  Pray that families would walk in love and unity with each other.

- Pray for unity within the body of Christ.  That we may be one as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are One.  

- Pray for our new Mayor, and for all city, state and national leaders. 

- Pray for Israel.
