From Presence to Planting!

Daniel Fast: January 7 - 27, 2013

Dear Family & Friends,

At the beginning of each year, we encouraged the body of Christ to set apart three weeks to develop a more intimate relationship with God through worship, prayer, and fasting. We have found that a 21-day Daniel Fast has an incredible impact on every aspect of our lives. See Daniel 1:8-20

Our theme this year is "From Presence to Planting".  As a result of living in God's manifest Presence and Power, in partnership with the Holy Spirit working through us, we have the capacity to start new church-planting churches that can actually transform cities and regions! Believing, unified, prayer and fasting releases God to bring His kingdom on earth.
                      
Would you consider joining us for a special time of prayer and fasting, beginning January 7th and ending with an “agape meal” with your church family January 27th?

Each day, we will be sending you inspirational messages from God’s Word, along with faith-building testimonies from your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Fasting is always coupled with a spiritual goal. So during this time of fasting, you will want to focus on prayer, study and meditation. What are the most important questions you need God to answer? What are the most pressing needs you face? How would you like God to impact your community? These are the types of prayer requests that can be brought before your loving Father, through Jesus Christ.

For God’s Glory,
