The way forward: 21 days of fasting and prayer

Are you ready for a fresh start in 2026? Are you longing for a deeper, more authentic relationship with the Lord, greater faith, and a life of greater surrender? If so, we invite you to join us for 21 days of fasting and prayer, beginning Wednesday, January 7 and ending on Thursday, January 29.

This dedicated time will allow us to seek the Lord wholeheartedly and cry out for His life-changing power in every area of our lives—restoring families, healing bodies, renewing finances, redeeming circumstances, and so much more.

the scripture guiding our fast

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 

Philippians 3:13-14
