Our vision for this year is: No Matter What! We will do what the Lord has called us to do No matter what! Join us in seeking the Lord and starting the year off strong with 21 days in prayer and fasting.
Why fast?
The goal of fasting is to draw closer to the Lord. The Bible shows us that fasting removes distractions and allows us to lean into the Lord; when we do that, He will renew us and change us.
Fasting helps us to prioritize the Lord in our lives, and it prepares our hearts for what the Lord desires to bring to our lives. As we seek the Lord in prayer while we fast, personally and corporately, it is important to remember that fasting should come with a level of challenge. But you know your body, and we want you to understand your options.

Selective Fasts
Selective Fasts
This type of fast involves removing certain foods and elements from your diet. One popular example is the Daniel Fast, in which you remove meats, sweets, dairy and bread from your diet; you eat fruits and vegetables and drink water; this is similar to the vegan diet.
Partial Fasts
Partial Fasts
This is often referred to as the “Jewish Fast.” No food is consumed in the morning or afternoon. Then a meal is eaten in the evening. This can work by using specific times of day, or simply “sun up to sun down.”
Soul Fasts
Soul Fast
This is a great option for people with no experience or limited experience with fasting; it is also good for those whose health may prevent them from fasting food. This fast is commonly used to help bring focus to certain areas of your life that are out of balance. Some examples include fasting from social media interactions, television, video games or other activities that consume your time.
