Fasting & Praying
Claudia and I had our meetings with the Adults leaders today. Among the several things that we spoke about, we also talked about the Christmas harvest.
One of the things that impressed me very greatly is that every group already has their fasting and praying plan in place. Some are starting a 4-week plan while some others are starting a 21 day fast. Some have chain fasting and praying around the clock while some others are fasting from TV, coffee and some activities so that they can devote more time to pray.
All are praying for their personal growth in Christ as well as for the people they want to reach out to with the love of Jesus Christ. We really want to let people know that Jesus is truly the reason for the season. We want to offer hope to people and let them know that Jesus is completely dependent; unlike the economy or any man-made institutions.
Let’s continue to fast so that we can feast on God. Let’s pray for the gospel to be let out and bear fruit in a big way during this perilous time. Let’s pray that we will be better harvester and that more harvesters will be sent to the harvest field too!
Matthew 9:37-38
Then he (Jesus) said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
