FASTING
A lot of us may have been a little shocked to hear that we were about to take part in a 7 week fast!! Maybe some of us did not even know what a “fast” is.. A fast is depriving your self of a specific something (usually food) in an effort to draw closer to God. During a fast, you will find that you are extremely sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Our sacred sacrifice is why we have seen such an outpouring of Gods blessings in our youth group lately. Keep it up! BOOK RECOMMENDATION. “Fasting” by Jentezen
