7 days of prayer and fast for the ministry.

September 1st starts the seven days we have set aside to pray and fast for the ministry. Each day has a specific topic to pray about and a focus for us while we are preparing and for the people in England. We want to invite our partners to join us in prayer and fasting over this week period. Each day we will post a little something on the blog about that days topic. Please feel free to post prayers, verses, or words of wisdom in the comments on that days blog.

Note: we don't expect or encourage anyone to go 7 days with out food. If you choose to fast with us do it how you feel called, Whether it is fasting for partial days or from something like TV, or maybe it is a specific type of food (like soda), what ever you choose please be safe about it.
