We have a powerful time of Prayer and Fasting coming up, starting Monday, August 11 and continuing through Sunday, August 31. Prayer is the tool that God has given to every one of His children as the avenue of communication with Him. In every situation, whether good or bad, we have the opportunity to pray before we act. Fasting is simply giving something up, often food, for a period of time in order to create spiritual hunger and make more room in our lives for God.
We’ll be joining our faith together and believing God for significant things, both corporately for our church, and in our lives individually. Whether you’re in a challenging season that needs a breakthrough, or you simply want to get to know God in a deeper way, fasting and prayer are incredible tools for every believer’s life.

Type of Fasts
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Selective Fast
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Partial Fast
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Soul Fast
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
