When you read through the Bible, Old Testament and New, you will see that fasting is mentioned over 70 times.  
There was a public fast and a private fast.
There was a partial fast, a normal fast, and an absolute fast.
Whatever fast that was practiced, the purpose was to intensely and intimately seek God.
Also, "Christ Himself practiced fasting (see Luke 4:2) and taught that fasting should be a part of Christian devotion and an act of preparation for His return (see Matt. 9:15, note)."
 "...fasting refers to the discipline of abstaining from food for a limited time in order to give greater attention to spiritual matters." - Both quotes were taken from Donald Stamps, FireBible NLT, Matt. 6:16 note, pg. 1438.

The Church leadership and workers are fasting for 21 Days.
Starting Sunday March 8th - April 28th 2026.
You are invited to join us in the fast.
