Prayer and Fasting

Oswald Chambers once said that, “Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, it is the greater work.” I believe that and I am convinced that there are some things the Lord just won’t do until we ask Him in prayer. One of our desires is to put our teaching series on prayer in action by praying and fasting. The plan is to begin fasting on Saturday morning July 17 and end the fast on Sunday morning July 18.You might consider fasting from one particular thing (soda, sweets, etc.) or from food all together. Throughout the day pray over the list we provide below. Then at our volunteer community meeting on Sunday morning, July 18 at 9:15 in the faculty lounge, we’ll pray and eat breakfast together. I hope you will join us this week as our campus seeks the Lord in prayer and in fasting. Here are a few things to pray:

• Hiring of a worship director
• Finding and securing a permanent facility
• Current staff (Rob, Ben, Gina, Sandy, Kian, and Win)
• For favor and greater impact in the northern Peninsula
• Wisdom and leadership for our Elders
• For our Sunday services and current ministries
• Strength and power for our current volunteers
• That the Lord would “add to our numbers daily” and continue to bring us the lost
• Maturity in faith for the Body
• That new people would connect to our church community
• That the Lord would add new leaders to our ministries
• Spiritual growth in families
